That's more of a football thing, the power 5 needs mid-majors for basketball.

I wouldn't say I have good knowledge on hockey conferences. The problem I see with the B1G is, what happens to an non-B1G school when a B1G school adds hockey? If two more B1G schools add hockey does Notre Dame get kicked out? The whole B1G will add Duluth or Omaha thing that started this talk again last time was probably said to get UND to play it's hand. Then there is the gamble to see if UND can get BTN money. Is the risk to get nothing from BTN worth being in the B1G? Right now the NCHC is strong, B1G isn't pulling away like most people thought they would. For me there is only 3 teams in the B1G i'd care to play Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan. Michigan doesn't want to play UND and the rest of the B1G are not that exciting to play against.

That was from a fan blog.

I have yet to hear or see anything saying BGSU wants out of the WCHA. If they really wanted out they could have done what Mankato did and apply to be in the NCHC. With Hastings new contract I see why Mankato wants in the NCHC.

I'd take back Frank and Doug over the two clowns they have now.

I'd guess the TV deal would be with FSN, just leave the FSN crew in Minneapolis.

I'm waiting for this series to end up at the X for a game or two. Minnesota is the home team one night, UND is the home team the next night.

I get that Josh Morton has ties to UND, but after what has been happening in Michigan State's Athletic Department the last couple years. Would UND want to take him?

I hear you have the money big spender.

The B1G didn't even announce game at Notre Dame as part of their conference broadcasts that are on NBCSN, and Notre Dame home games are not on BTN either. The B1G has two arenas that are bigger then the Ralph and can't fill them when football rivals play each other.

Drop the Midco deal and see if the B1G lets UND have BTN money, that's a big if too.

John Hopkins doesn't get any BTN money either. Main reason Notre Dame and John Hopkins have TV deals already. UND have nothing to leverage joining the B1G for hockey.

With the Midco deal UND would get no BTN money.

Oakland contacted College Hockey Inc. about the study.

DaveK as one of his personalities, speed kills, doesn't consider UND-Minnesota is rivalry anymore.

Nope, Midco controls the broadcast rights.

Every time I’ve been to a Chick-fil-A it’s been like that.

Agree 100%

Oakland wasn't one anyone would have thought to be part of the study. The Blues and Lindenwood are sharing a facility once it's built.

I'm expecting Lindenwood to announce they are working with the Blues to added D1 men's hockey.
