I'm pro NCHC, but I'm afraid that if we got an offer, which we won't, UMD, ONO, or Denver would be bolting, and the NCHC would not be what it is today. If the Big Ten wanted to add an affiliate or two, and we declined, we would be left with a watered down NCHC. That's the biggest reason to accept.
For example, would we want to be in a conference that consisted of CC, UNO, SCSU, Mankato, Bowling Green, WMU, and Miami, while we watch UMD and or Denver play in the Big Ten without us? I don't think I would.
