IrishSiouxFan Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I noticed that the NCHC posted this on FaceBook, anybody know what it could be? A new tv deal? New additions?

Big A HG Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I have to imagine they'd release the new conference logos and a finalized website pretty soon. Maybe it's along those lines. I can't think of any big announcements that would make sense as of right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishSiouxFan Posted February 26, 2013 Author Share Posted February 26, 2013 Almost a week later and still no "exciting" announcement from the NCHC? I was really hoping they were announcing their own network or that all games would be televised. But I think yo guys are right, it's going to be something disappointing like new wall paper in the main office. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tnt Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Is it possible that they were talking about the tentative schedules that were released? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siouxfan512 Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Anything other than a potential tv deal would be disappointing for me. The game quality on Fox College Sports is pretty terrible, but it is so much better than not being able to watch it at all. They really need to find a way to allow schools to setup their own broadcast deals, in conjuction with the conference's current broadcast option. Even a webcast option like BigSky has would be better than nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siouxfan512 Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I thought there was already a tv deal in place with cbs sports? My understanding is that the CBS deal is for the whole conference, so they will just select games from each week to broadcast. Outside of whatever game CBS is showing, contract language won't allow for other channels like Fox College Sports to pick up games. Meaning we may only see handfull of games throughout the entire season; as opposed to our current deal that broadcasts all home games. What the NCHC should have tried to do, w as workout a deal with FCS to have NCHC games broadcast on all three of their channels. Or setup a deal to let schools have their games broadcast through other networks, as long as they do not conflict with the CBS sports broadcast schedule. I could be wrong with some of this, but this has been my understanding on how the new conference and tv broadcast works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siouxfan512 Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 It is not FCSs fault. Midco is the one sending the crappy signal. I undestand that, and I can't believe they havn't improved that for a top college program. Anyway, my point was more towards that fact that a crappy broadcast is WAY better that no broadcast. Hopefully they figure something out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFG Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Can't believe this hasn't been posted on here yet. Press release from the NCHC: Minneapolis, MN (Tuesday, March 5, 2013) -- The National Collegiate Hockey Conference is aggressively taking several major steps as its inaugural season grows ever closer. As the State of Hockey gets set to crown Minnesota's champions in boys' high school hockey, the NCHC and its member schools will be in Minneapolis on March 7 for a Hat Trick of announcements: - Unveil the Conference logo, which will act as the NCHC's visual stamp for years to come. - Reveal details about its first-ever NCHC post-season tournament, which will be played at Target Center in downtown Minneapolis. - Introduce the launch of the new Conference website. Meanwhile, in neighboring St. Paul, the NCHC will have a booth at the Let's Play Hockey Expo in downtown St. Paul, just steps away from where the Class AA and A boys' tournaments are unfolding. This presence will give thousands of hockey fans the opportunity to get to know the NCHC and understand why the NCHC will arguably be the strongest college hockey conference in America.

I'll be sure to stop by their booth at the hockey expo and ask them how I convert my center-ice lower-level tickets at the Final Five into priority seating at the NCHC conference tournament, like the Big Ten is offering.

bale31 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 The WCHA should share their list with the NCHC. It is not like they will need it anymore. Ha! Yeah, the WCHA is really going to be happy to help out the NCHC in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watchmaker49 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Ha! Yeah, the WCHA is really going to be happy to help out the NCHC in the future. I know they won't and I said so last week. Then at the same time why should the people that have had priority with the WCHA have priority in the NCHC? It is not like they have been buying tickets for years.

Sioux-cia Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Ha! Yeah, the WCHA is really going to be happy to help out the NCHC in the future. Doesn't the list belong to the X?

The X just services it for them as a part of running the tournament. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if the X did have control of the list.....what would the benefit be to help out the NCHC and the Target Center. The X will have a tourney going on at the same time.
