The Sicatoka Posted June 6, 2023 Author Posted June 6, 2023 If UND's time in the BSC showed but one thing it's that a school on an island (geographically isolate) does not work. I'm not sure two is much better. < standard words here about media markets, exposure to potential students, alumni in area, potential donors, as key to conference decisions > < additional standard words about presidents, not ADs, pick conference mates > Quote

Regardless of what moves the NCHC makes, the number of schools should never go above 10. The old WCHA got bloated and watered-down with 12 teams at the time of realignment. 1 Quote
