It sounds like UAA or both them and Alaska have $54 billion in funding but dont want to spend $50 million. Maybe the WCHA should look into having travel partners, it could save some costs for teams whinning about costs.
I'm kind of surprised Creighton doesn't try to go NCAA D1 with their club team. They play their home games at Ralston Arena, I'm sure UNO wouldn't like to share the spotlight in Omaha with Creighton in hockey.
MavPuck message board has been talking about Nebraska starting a hockey team. Just seems to be a bunch of bickering on there about it.

Minnesota went from having only Minnesota kids (integrity). To need to get players from Canada, Sweden, Finland, and other States to win National Titles.
You better jump off the SS Minnesota any time now.
I see one B1G team, Notre Dame doesn't join for another year. Quinnipiac not in his top ten is a bit surprising, I can see them making the tournament at the end of the year.
Bowling Green not answering questions about joining the NCHC.
