  1. From what I’ve been told there has been no discussion about adding St Thomas to the NCHC. I be surprised if that comes up in the future. Sounds like the leagues is content with remaining at nine teams.

    Draper isn't wrong.

    Quote

    When the Red Wings drafted James, director of amateur scouting Kris Draper joked that he was glad James was going to North Dakota because there was not much to do there. He would have plenty of time to concentrate on hockey. James said Draper was correct. But he recently bought a guitar because he wants to learn how to play.

    If anyone wants some hysterical laughs, search out some interviews with Mike Commodore where he gives his VERY honest thoughts of Babcock! Hilarious stuff. Commodore does not mince words. 

    Commie and Babcock didn’t get along when he was with Detroit.

    You did read what I wrote, right?

    “How does St Could State and Duluth out-compete the better funded UND year after year?

     

    Since when Is SCSU out performing UND year after year? It’s not happening. Yes. They were better this season, but you might not have been paying attention lately.

    West and McVey were knocked down first and have been replaced with residence halls with the same names - huge improvement, but the “mirrors of infinity” are no more…

    I drove down University Ave the other day after dropping my kiddo off at driver's ed, and the new residence halls look pretty nice. I can't get over how many improvements UND has made on campus—definitely some upgrades.

    For perspective, it's about 1/3 the annual athletics operating budget.

    It'd buy two of the proposed Memorial Village II softball facility ($4.5M). 

    How many years for football; it would seem that wouldn’t go that far for very long: i.e. players, NIL, coaching additions. We already know hardened facilities are expensive and wouldn’t go as far as we think. I’d love to have 10 mil to spend, but sports are expensive.

    Need a visionary, but it takes more than one person; need a group of special people looking out for UND football, despite hockey being the unfortunate centerpiece

    Hockey is the big-time sports program at UND. don't see this changing. Some might say that UND hockey put Grand Forks on the Map. Hockey brings more notoriety to UND that football ever will. While I agree, football should be more of a priority at UND, it shouldn't come at the expense of hockey.

    I gotta think that it will be a one for one switch.  ASU comes in and Miami leaves…with no $ penalty for the Red Hawks.

    I've heard that the league will let them leave when they pay the fee.

    IF the NCHC adds ASU, which of the following scenarios do you all think is most likely?

    1) Add one, lose zero: Simply add ASU to the existing eight members for a total of nine teams.

    2) Add two, lose zero: Add a second team along with ASU (within, say, two years), bringing the total number of teams to ten.

    3) Add one, lose one: Drop/lose a current member (likely Miami) when ASU joins keeping the total number of teams at eight.

    4) Add two, lose two: Add a second team along with ASU, lose Miami and Western Michigan, keeping the total number of teams at eight.

    Western isn't planning on leaving. When a previous rumor came out, a few years back, I was told by a person from Western athletic department they have no plans on leaving the conference.
