Unless the B1G gives out $100 million to members to start a program it's not happening with B1G money.

The twins are at it again.

I hope St. Louis wins the lawsuit.

The schools without hockey would just use the money for their other sports, and all but 2 need a major donation like Penn State.

Because if UND was getting BTN money they would be able to keep the women's team and not cut any sports.

Any money that B1G schools get from the B1G is going to existing sports and facility upgrades. Nebraska still needs to payoff their new arena. Unless a school in the B1G gets a big donation they are not adding hockey. UND just cut women's hockey that should tell you they are not joining the B1G. A school that want in the B1G is UConn.

If you are going to do a showcase, do it with 4 teams from two different leagues and do it in places like Winnipeg. So 4 NCHC teams and 4 WCHA teams and have 4 games a day (Friday and Saturday). If UND want to play Bemidji every year then add in Mankato. One game in Bemidji (Friday) then in Mankato (Saturday). Then you. An get in two other WCHA team like Michigan Tech (Friday) then Northern Michigan (Saturday).

Minnesota fans are not showing up because they don't want to be in the B1G for hockey, and North Dakota isn't going to change that. The only positive of joining the B1G for hockey is to get BTN money and they will say that UND has their Midco deal and we won't share any BTN money.

None of the current B1G members want to add hockey, the only exception is a guy who use to be the general manager of Rutgers hockey team.

Reusse was talking about how Rutgers should be kicked out for not wanting to travel it Minnesota last weekend(?) because of a storm out East. It sounded like they all don't care for Rutgers being in the B1G I've heard Rutgers called the B1G's FCS team.

Reusse just rambles the whole time. Nothing about who will join the B1G in all sports, just hates having worthless Rutgers in the B1G. I didn't hear anything about $5 million, just its going to take a lot of money they don't want to part with. Reusse was just getting his info from the Gopher Illustrated story. Reusse is hard to listen to and probably should just retire, unless he's better then that normally. (Did DaveK call in?)

I guess them being in the B1G is treason to them.

It sounds like there are some Notre Dame fans that will not follow the hockey team because they are going to the B1G.

He has been out done by the president of Michigan State. Chris Dilks‏ @ChrisDilks Michigan State's president said Jim Montgomery won a national title as a player at Denver.

Maybe no one wants to go there?

Just Western Michigan and Miami talking about it. Brad pretty much shot it down and said the guy had a lot of things wrong.

So, where is all this "UND to the B1G" or "UND was offered by the B1G" talk that was suppose to happen during the regionals.

If I remember right is was hype about nothing.

The only other people talking about it started well after it was brought up here.

I don't think Tippett is a bad coach, he's just in a bad situation there with all that's going on with the team.

When you see another USHL team host an NCAA regional might as well join the show. Edit: I was thinking of the USHL Phantoms not Leigh Valley Phantoms.

Because it's the Coyotes.

There is like 4 conference championships in Vegas/Nevada. Pac12 basketball championship is at T-Mobile Arena

Seen this happen all year the defending player gets called not the offensive player. And Hammond was already pivioting towards the boards and caught his edge. Hard to call interference when the puck is right there.

I think it's time to do something different with the Bemidji series. Either play them one game and Mankato the other or play Bemidji every other year and get other WCHA teams a chance to play UND.
