Popular Post Godsmack Posted April 30, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 30, 2023 CC is turning the corner. Mayotte had done a lot already with Haviland’s kids. They did advance to the championship game of the Frozen Faceoff and have shown a compete level they didn’t under the previous leadership. I don’t see CC going anywhere, not to mention, DU would not support getting rid of them either. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CC really doesn't do anything for summit hockey as an affiliate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Mr. @Godsmack has a very good point, CC is headed in the right decision, their coach Mayotte is legit. I think CC will continue to be a valued member of our conference. Seriously! The conference isn't going to boot them out. Fenton is running the NCHC anymore. Doesn't sound like the NCHC schools are going to follow under the Summit. 13 minutes ago, SIOUXFAN97 said: but you have to look at thru the eyes of a commish (fenton)...what does a d3 school like CC bring to the conference in terms of $, competition, and or eyeballs?

Doesn't sound like the NCHC schools are going to follow under the Summit. and you didn't answer the q...what does CC bring to the table thru the eyes of Fenton? he is trying to make the Summit a stable conference instead of a revolving door conference and one of those tasks is getting a core group of regionally based schools to stay together instead of jumping to greener pastures (and you can't fault those schools for doing so)... and you used the word booted....no one is betting booted...just not "invited". fenton will "invite" the 3 summit schools to join the Summit and St Thomas for a core of 4 and then look to "invite" 4-6 affiliate schools to join the summit league...UMD, SCSU, Miami, W Michigan, Bowling Green, AF, ASU, Minny St, CC ,and Augie are all in the running for those spots....

SIOUXFAN97 Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 and part of what fenton is doing is trying to lock up St Thomas from jumping ship in five years...He wants them long long term and a hockey conference with larger d1 schools in larger markets will help keep the Tommies around hopefully for a long time a hockey conference of all d1 schools would a nice selling point for keeping them around UND, St Thomas, Omaha, Denver, ASU, Miami, Western Michigan, and then BGreen or AF would be nice and olym of UND, NDSU, USD, SDSU, Omaha, Denver, Oral Rob, KC, Western Ill, St Thomas, would be nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cberkas Posted April 30, 2023 Author Share Posted April 30, 2023 AFA is NEVER leaving Atlantic Hockey, their coach said when asked years ago when the WCHA added Omaha. "Why don't you join the WCHA?" He said "We couldn't compete in the conference with the recruit we can get, and we are competitive in Atlantic Hockey. Time to drop the AFA is leaving Atlantic hockey when it's never happening. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does streaming work? Are hockey TV rights negotiated with all other Summit sports? How does media rev get split? Look at how CAA football affiliates got shafted in the latest CAA deal. Who decides the format of Summit hockey playoffs? Is the tournament played at the same time as Summit basketball? Does NDSU have any say in decisions that affect UND hockey? What does it matter? Seriously? At least think a little bit before posting. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlphaMikeFoxtrot Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 If Fenton signs a lengthy contract with penalties for leaving, by all means go forward with it. That means he's trying to make college hockey its niche. Just remember what happened when the Gophers thought they were bigger than the state of MN.
