SiouxVolley Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 12 hours ago, jdub27 said: Denver isn't getting into any other conference until they adjust their sports offerings. They would rather stick with what they have and be in the Summit than change. They made that clear when searching for a new conference and settling on the Summit. Denver was nearly expelled by the Sun Belt because DU didn't comply with the Belt's new requirement that a school had to sponsor 12 sports that the conference did. DU didn't change sports one lick and went to the WAC for a season and then got out. The WCC doesn't want to send their water polo and rowing teams to Colorado regardless if DU offered it. The problem DU has is their bb teams are bad so no medium power conference wants them. Almost all their other sports like soccer, gymnastics, skiing, lacrosse and of course hockey are national powers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ariz St, Oregon St, Wash St, and Utah wouldn't be in the PAC12 as their research levels are much lower than the rest of the PAC, but the PAC wanted numbers for TV eyeballs.

Some of their teams are in the GCC, some are in the WWPA and the WWPA already goes to Colorado for Air Force. The Falcons do two-game road trips frequently to California, so those WWPA teams could easily do the Colorado swing for the 3+ teams that make the trip each season.

Those schools are not AAU members, which are prestigious research schools. You have to take it up with the AAU. Their Presidents are always fighting to get in.

If Denver added sports to fit in with their conference, it would screw up existing single sport conference relationships. If Men basketball as good and helped RPI, DU would be much more in demand.

SWSiouxMN Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 So when will another college make the splash and add hockey? Will it happen within 5 years? 10 years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since UND moved to DI, am batting .750. Your at what, .000? Stated well before Penn St added hockey that the P1G would add hockey. I was laughed at by self appointed experts like Goon. UND and Denver will run through burning hoops to protect their hockey programs. Got the Great West right. Got the Big Sky whan all the trolls and "experts" said it will never happen and mocked me for years. Never considered that NDSU wouId actually let us in the Summit but the price was two Fargo fb games for admission. Presidents get an orgasm if they get like schools together and The Great Northern remake of the Summit is coming. Idaho wants FBS badly and they will get a Summit fb league to form once IPFW is gone. The WAC FBS statement were nearly home run but foul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArchyAlum11 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 So I back on the topic of hockey, I wonder if anyone has looked at Eastern Washington. They have acha club teams and a Team the competes in British Columbia Inter-College Hockey Leauge, along with Simon Fraiser, While it doesn't look like the offer full rides, they do offer partial scholarships. I know Simon Fraser has been discussed, but Eastern Washington has on-campus facilities already that could work for practice and training, and the Veterans Memorial Arena in Spokane is a good facility with seating for 10,000 and already hosts the Spokane Chiefs of the WHL, Eastern Washington could easily become a secondary tenant to the building. They could be a good school to help Push the University of Washington or Boise state into upgrading their club programs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the budget issues at EWU and a President who appears to be reluctant to emphasize sports, I doubt they will be adding hockey any time soon, if ever.
