1200 "staff members"....gimme a break. probably could fire 2000.

agreed.

interesting post....not too hard to connect the dots imo

i less than five years asu will either be an affiliate with the big10 or full member of the nchc and have a stadium much newer, nicer, and bigger than msu

but not in five years.

when debating you need to define certain words....define "good"

do you think the gfcc will drop the club requirement and just be an open to the public course...sounds like membership is waaay down

lots of empty seats...

cc=d2or3 not even sure scsu=d2 duluth=d2

why didn't KEM put a "like minded" institution on her new big screen if we are so happy and proud to be in the nchc? should've put the scsu logo up?

please don't put st cloud state in the same sentence as und.

all the empty seats at the ralph recently have some thinking opposite of you.

you think the fighting hawks will slum it with the colorado colleges, st cloud states, and UM-Duluth bulldawgs of the college hockey world for long?

Not sure what your getting at..ASU has a huuuuger upside going FORWARD than Mankato will ever dream of.

maybe 5 years ago...remember it's called the NATIONAL collegiate hockey conference....not the "we take you because we know you conference of 1998"

agree with all of this...wasn't rob stiles the "guy, coach, pro" back in the day...

can anyone tell me why we choose to "showcase" U of M on our new scoreboard when our biggest conference rival is saint cloud state university....seems like a hint of something?

wonder if the new ccha is gonna push for western michigan to come back home? then the nchc grabs asu...then the big 10 grabs und..then the ccha grabs miami...then the nchc grabs mankato... and then...

will ray richards need a full time "golf pro"? if so how much does that pay and is that person a und employee...for comparison's how much does dan tannahill make at kings walk (should be public info)...how about doug iverson at the country club?

trip down 169 with 30 mph winds with zero visibilty instead of an allgient flight and 85 and sunny for two nights of hockey in the valley of the sun?

mankato or asu...easy choice.

WAC (FBS 8 Football 10 Total) UND NDAC USD USAC Montana Montana State Idaho NMSU Seattle Denver Big Sky (10 FCS schools) Idaho State Weber State Eastern Washinton Southern Utah Northern Colorado Northern Arizona Cal-Davis Cal-Poly Sacramento State Portland State Summit League (8 D1 Non-Football) Dixie State Metro State UT-Rio Grande Grand Canyon Cal-Baptist Oral Roberts Utah Valley Omaha and we're done

WAC=FBS conference with like minded FBS and Olympic Sports Big Sky=FCS conference of like minded FCS Football and Olympic Sports Summit League=Olympic Sports for end of the road teams with mid-major aspirations

agreed....u would think that conference members would work together to have a cohesive idea about which sports to sponsor or not with some being required...baseball at usd and und could be back in one year if needed...

if we added baseball back would that keep little augie out?
