I am all in on St. Thomas. Regardless of what moves the NCHC makes, the number of schools should never go above 10. The old WCHA got bloated and watered-down with 12 teams at the time of realignment.
Colorado State is a joke across the board. They aren't competitive at anything. They would be the Morningside of this new conference if it ever happened.
They honestly must pull these numbers out of there collective arses. No way houses and apartments are being built like they are on the south end if people are leaving.
