The NCHC could have series like Hockey East. If the NCHC grows to 16 teams they could have two different teams on the same weekend and the games could be worth two games in conference points. That's if those teams only play once a year.
Now 4 of those teams are in the PAC12, so they would go to a PAC12 conference when they have 6 teams. If I was the PAC12 I'd wait until they have 8 teams before starting a conference. We've all seen how starting a conference with 6 teams has worked for the B1G.
There are teams that will end up in the WCHA even if they would want to be in the NCHC. The NCHC could have taken ASU and Mankato but they didn't. They wanted ASU and not Mankato, but didn't want an odd number of teams.
The NCHC conference tournament would be in St.Paul at the X, that move will happen soon.
At some point the NCAA tournament will have to expand. The easy way to do that is add two more teams to each regional giving the #1 and #2 seeds in each regional a bye.
