#MACtion

Miami is ready: https://www.youtube.com/shared?ci=DSrJe5K1CHY Lets go play hockey! 2016 Season is underway.

When are you guys gonna apply to the NCHC?? quit messing around in the WCHA. Go Sioux, Beat Bowling Green pumpkin heads !! .

So Wichita St. is too esteemed to join MAC basketball which is consistently the #10 RPI ranked conference, but would be OK with putting it's basketball in the WAC with a bunch of Big Sky basketball schools that are horrible??

CBS Sports already streams CBSSN online at website and on phone app. http://www.cbssports.com/watch/cbssportsnetwork/ You have to sign in with one of only 3 cable providers though. Cox, Frontier, or Optimum. If you have one of those three then all the NCHC games will be streamed online and mobile.

The only thing that worries me about the Big Ten trying to persuade us to make this arrangement is that they want to stay and 7 and keep the 8th spot open for ASU but not until we break them in through their growing pains and provide the stepping stone for them.

Can't tell if they are being sarcastic or serious, but somebody on the Miami board claims a source saying Notre Dame to possibly join the NCHC in 2017. Anybody hear anything about a last minute snag in negotiations between ND and Big after news broke but before officially signed that may be leading to ND negotiating with the NCHC now? Miami and WMU would be totally cool with ASU and ND joining instead of BG or Mankato.

Miami won the Frozen Faceoff. Hard to get mad at that.

http://pac-12.com/article/2016/07/14/pac-12-networks-announces-live-streaming-partnership-twitter?utm_source=HootSuite&utm_medium=Social&utm_campaign=JustinKarpPosts PAC-12 Networks just announced a deal to stream Arizona State ice hockey games live on Twitter. So NCHC conference games at ASU would be live on Twitter.

A big huge NO to Mankato. May as well never formed the NCHC if you are gonna drag all the same schools back. No more Minnesota schools. I know many here may not care but if there was a way to upset Miami and WMU then this would be the way. Hopefully this is just a desperation play by begging in public to be added as they know ASU and BG are being considered.

No chance.

Siouxfan97, is your avatar the new NoDak Hawks logo? If it is not, it should. Looks cool and keeps some Sioux theme.

Unless UNLV or Arizona Wildcats are a package deal, it has to be Bowling Green. They are the logical choice so that Denver and NoDak are happy in the west with ASU and WMU and Miami are happy in the east. NCHC can't consider another budget-tight D2 Minnesota school. BG has a $30 million athletics budget and can absorb COA and is better suited for media production etc.

Yes he can. Won't disagree there.

SiouxVolley should change his message board handle to "Tooth Fairy", would be more believable.

I want to get this straight because I want another good laugh at SiouxVolley's "theory" 1) The NCAA will vote on allowing the Big Sky, and only the Big Sky to form two different one-sport conferences in two different divisons because the P5 feel sorry for Idaho and New Mexico State. 2) Despite needing 60% to approve and the P5 only have 37.5% weight under the new structure, the Mountain West and MVC etc.. Will vote with them to allow this to happen because the Mountain West would love to share the wealth because they are caring toward the BSC despite the PAC12 doing everything possible to hold the MWC under their thumb. NDSU will feel compassion as well and remain in FCS. 3) Despite not a peep on the Idaho or NMSU board or any other board in FCS or FBS except Sioux Sports even though Idaho would have the most incentive to spread this rumor even if not true to ease the Vandal fans worries about moving to the Big Sky because they would remain FBS, the miracle rule change happens. 4) Then North Dakota and 5 more BSC schools such as Montana who have repeatedly turned down FBS oportunities in the past because they are too cheap and not interested, then decide to double down and waste money on facilities and 44 scholarships etc. To become FBS despite no increased revenue from TV or the CFP contract because it is locked down under contract for another 11 years. Not to mention NoDak cutting sports because they cant afford stipends for the hockey team. This all totally sounds plausible OR SiouxVolley and Big Sky Commish Fullofit are just that. Full of it. Ok, lets hear it.

Most entertaining thread ever...

Lets get this.

2-0 Boom. Crazy gamble by Quinnipiac goalie. Go NCHC!

Go sioux !

<eyes rolling> Even if this rules changed happened, it would be foolish for the Big Sky to do this. A complete waste of money for nothing in return. Paying for 44 more scholarships and spending a ton more money for what? What is the expected return? CFP contract is set in stone and Big Sky wouldn't get a dime of that. TV? CUSA struggling to find a bidder to show their games and will take a huge pay cut. Relevance? Big Sky will be viewed as the same irrelevant FCS-ish conference with the PAC12 and Mountain West dominating them. So spend a bunch of money to pretend and see no increase in revenue and still have a couple games on Root Sports. Sounds like a Fullerton plan to me. Foolish.

Where is this rumor of Miami as a candidate #8 for the BTHC?? Is there even as much as a post on USCHO forums or a tweet or something or is this all made up??

Nebraska, Iowa, Maryland, Rutgers, maybe ASU... Take your pick.

Only Miami leaves NCHC is for NHL which might happen. In the works for years because the Canadian teams support it as a cheap buy game outside their division

I hear there might be a rumor about Jerry Jones talking the NFL into changing rules to allow Miami get draft picks and join NFL. Half the MAC joining but not the other half. The other half joining MLB though.

Oh, so no rumor, just more non-credible posts madeup about Big Sky FBS and now Miami Big10. Mmm-kay.
