Plus they have the major donor money behind them that also is a major donor for 3 other teams in the conference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welp, I don't think the paywall is going to get fixed this week, so I might as well make everything free for the next two days. I have a story I am contractually required to run tomorrow AM, and then I promise I'll share the low major realignment stuff last clue, and I promise I wont string yall along like this ever again it involves a D-II team It sounds like D-II school. The article was about the OVC and West Georgia as a candidate for possible expansion. Also mentioned the ASUN as a possible landing spot for WGa. Briefly mentioned Missouri state due to a review their Athletics Department is doing m. But sounds like that is more about making a stronger athletics department at MSU than it is about its conference affiliation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nodak651 Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Speaking of hockey, listen to this podcast starting at 40:40. Good info before that as well, but the Alaska coach talks about the independents and why they haven't created a conference yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

League already has Minnesota presence and unless Miami leaves, no need to add another team. 8 is ideal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would be playing against UND men’s and women’s bball in the same building as summit league members and are 5 miles from the nchc conference tournament site. 8 is ideal. Getting to Oxford Ohio, not so much. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not smart enough to know why they haven't been competitive, but it seems clear that Bergeron hasn't improved things after 4 years of his tenure.

Look at their record in the NCHC. They are at or near the bottom every season. They changed coaches a few years ago and that hasn't changed anything either. I think the 2009 team was an outlier. It is a shame they couldn't close the deal after getting so close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIOUXFAN97 Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 How long does Seattle U wait for the WCC invite...are they happy playing a bunch of schools in Utah and Texas? And if they are would Oral Roberts and Kansas City be happier going South (WAC) instead of almost always traveling North (Summit) (and having to play their postseason tournament in Sioux Falls, SD instead of Las Vegas, NV)?
