Here's more. Mike McMahon @MikeMcMahonCHN Nov 25 Checked w/ NCAA rep. The only hockey conference w/ voting power on the council is the B10. The other 5 hockey-only conferences have no vote Mike McMahon @MikeMcMahonCHN Nov 25 Oh, and the Big 10 vote counts FOUR times, because they are an autonomy conference. Mike McMahon @MikeMcMahonCHN Nov 25 About 1/3 of college hockey teams have no representation on NCAA council voting on B10 legislation. Mike McMahon @MikeMcMahonCHN Nov 25 So, a vote that could have an adverse effect on mostly smaller programs will be conducted without representation from most smaller programs. Mike McMahon @MikeMcMahonCHN Nov 25 And it means the ACC, SEC, Big12, Pac12, they could all have a say on this Big 10 hockey legislation. Mike McMahon @MikeMcMahonCHN Nov 25 So BC could ask the ACC to vote a certain way, for example, but it's up to the ACC rep on that council to actually vote for the entire conf Mike McMahon @MikeMcMahonCHN Nov 25 The more I learn, the more I'm convinced that if the big schools are aligned in ideology, they'll be able to do whatever the hell they want. Jashvina Shah @icehockeystick Nov 25 Or maybe the Big Ten did this just to prove a point that they can and will do whatever they want... Jashvina Shah @icehockeystick Nov 25 So basically a conference that cares not at all about hockey (the Big 10) could ruin college hockey. Fantastic Jashvina Shah @icehockeystick Nov 25 I'm more worried about the precedent this is setting than the actual rule that was proposed. Jashvina Shah @icehockeystick Nov 25 I feel like the Big Ten is a child who's toy broke. He's unhappy so he takes away everyone else's toy so no one else can be happy too Jashvina Shah @icehockeystick Nov 25 Feels like the Big Ten is doing this to make a statement & prove they can flex their muscles. doubt they care for college hockey as a whole Jashvina Shah @icehockeystick Nov 25 Believe it or not, college hockey’s success equally depends on the success of its smaller programs as it does with the larger ones. Jashvina Shah @icehockeystick Nov 25 Why are you honestly letting a conference that can’t even fix its own tournament determine what the rest of college hockey can do? ASU is against the B1G legislation. http://www.cronkitesports.com/asu-hockey-powers-reacts-to-big-ten-legislation-proposal/ Mike McMahon @MikeMcMahonCHN 15h15 hours ago This is important. ASU could influence Pac-12 vote. If so, that would balance out the 4 B10 votes. Ryan Kennedy on the B1G proposal. http://www.thehockeynews.com/blog/big-ten-ignites-firestorm-of-controversy-in-ncaa-hockey/ WCHA is against the B1G proposal. Jack Hittinger @jackhitts Nov 25 Just talked to WCHA commish Bill Robertson today. As expected, he said he and the WCHA are against the Big Ten's proposal.
