GFG made a good point on GPL about how the B1G should add UND. I do believe and I'm sure GFG does to that UND would increase the TV ratings of the B1G Network. I think the B1G has made an offer to UND to join as a hockey affiliate, but UND didn't get what they want from the B1G and told them no. I look at the Michigan State game as an example that the B1G didn't want to be out show by a non-B1G member that has one if not the biggest fan bases by not showing the Michigan State-UND game, but instead showing a football game from the 70's.
The funny things is that Gopher fans and I'm sure B1G fans also said UND is going to need us more then we need them. Well it turns out the B1G needs UND and other NCHC schools, and UND/NCHC fans don't need the B1G. Just go on GPL and see how many times UND is brought up when UND shouldn't even be part of the discussion.
