Their fans bring it up all the time and Miami voted to have ASU in the conference. 

Miami isn't going to pay $2 million+ to leave. 

They are still a full fledge member, so of course they are going to vote on league matters. I think eventually you will see Miami exit the NCHC and go to the CCHA. They really haven't done anything since Rico was let go to show that they are serious about their program.


Also, Miami isn't going to pay $2 million because that isn't even what the exit cost is.

You mean Mankato State, right?;)

Geographically, Bemidji State makes more sense, but I would agree that Mankato would be a better option.

I was told the exit fee to leave the NCHC is between 1.5 and 2 million dollars. I believe that is still a ballpark figure to get out of the league.

The range is probably related to how much notice is given. 

I believe the MWC was: 
- two years notice: $x
- one year notice: $2x

Perhaps, "If" I was the commissioner, I wouldn't let them skate out of the conference for free.

I've never dug into it but I have read in multiple articles that its $1 million. Is it possible that the exit fee has gone up?

I agree, I wouldn't let them skate out for free, as that would set a bad precedent for the league.

Exit fee is equal to one year of operating expenses, which is typically north of $1 million. Not sure how high it has gotten recently.

A new club hockey league. North American Collegiate Hockey League (NACHL).

This CHF/CHS to AAU to NACHL experiment all because of them not being happy with ACHA. Just admit it didn't work and go back to the ACHA.

So, they are affiliating with ECAC "club" hockey not the NCAA D1 or D3 hockey. I'm not sure how the NCAA part is involved, I'm guessing the ECAC are running it.

Would be nice for these big schools across the country to move to D1. Just not enough funding

Lets be real - the P5 have enough funding.  Illinois could have easily done it.  Georgia could easily do it.  Iowa could.  They just don't want the distraction and the administrators don't want to annoy existing FB/BB boosters that want every penny dumped into those sports.  The P5 budgets have pretty much doubled over the last decade or so.

Agreed.  ACHA is the best and theirs are the only club championships that truly mean anything, IMO.

This explains a lot though: 

 About the ECAC

The ECAC (Eastern College Athletic Conference) is an eighty-year old organization with well over 200 members schools across all three NCAA Divisions - I, II and III - that exists to enhance the experience of student-athletes participating in intercollegiate athletics, and provide great value for universities and colleges, by sponsoring championships, leagues, bowl games, tournaments and other competitions throughout the Northeast.  Most of the ECAC's members also belong to another conference, which is often the school's primary conference.

The ECAC also hosts a comprehensive esports program that presently involves over 270 schools fielding 1500 teams across 21 different esports games, streamed live four nights a week. The ECAC's esports platform has and continues to expand the geographic footprint of the Conference nationally.  

Additionally, the ECAC is becoming involved in sponsoring competitions and leagues involving other varsity and club sports that do not fall under the umbrella of the NCAA.

yeah augie or msu gets an invite years ahead of bsu

I love BSU and my parents went to BSU and I like to see them do well. 

That said, there are a 6 teams I'd expect to see join the NCHC before BSU. It's nothing against BSU, but they are a small school that doesn't expand the geographical footprint and doesn't consistently play well. The same can largely be said be either Alaska school. 

1. Notre Dame (pipe dream I know)

2. Mankato

3. Michigan Tech

4. Lindenwood

5. Augie

6. Bowling Green

I know when Fenton was commissioner he was just fine with 8 teams in the league. We could always expand the league though. I believe in expanding the league to make it exciting!!! It's about what gets the Fans in the seats. If expanding the league brings excitement and brings fans into the door. Let's do it.
