Do they have the equipment? Doesn't Alex live in Sioux Falls? I'm sure if he had the choice of a trip to GF versus staying in Sioux Falls he would prefer to sleep in his own bed. Really would like to hear people's thoughts on this topic, Thinking about this, you realized that UND hockey is one of the top draws for Midco, right? Midco is not going to stop covering UND hockey for a startup Division I hockey team. I don't see UND getting a better offer than Midco either.

We could consider maybe about Bally sports North with Ben Holden doing the color commentating.......I think that would be worth some consideration.

I'm not really concerned with the local provider, but I think the league is getting behind the times by not making their product available on ESPN+ to increase nationwide exposure. NCHC.tv is fine for hardcore fans, but you aren't going to build the brand that way. The games vs. Q were easily accessible. I have to want to find NCHC action and have a dedicated subscription to see out of market games with today's arrangement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also got lots of college sports, so it truly is a no brainer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a huge missing item from nchc.tv. $112 is also pretty steep and sidearm sports is awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as it was in year one, so it (mostly) is today: games at the Ralph are nearly ESPN quality, and everyone else is behind. Probably the wrong thread, but I feel better getting that off my chest. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree 100 percent, I think that there are certain schools in year nine that still haven't improved the quality of their broadcasts. I think there needs to be a minimum standard.

The Sicatoka Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 "The Wildcats will be the primary tenant at the 3,000-seat facility, which is currently under construction." 3000 seats does not scream "moving to NCAA DI".

Is the sport just becoming more popular nationally or? Seems kind of like all at once with UNLV vs AA, ASU really taking a step forward, Wildcats, now fricken Georgia? Not complaining.
