For whatever reason, I'm fearful for Bemidji. Is Bemidji's program sustainable if Mankato were to leave the WCHA or if there was a WCHA shakeup? I’m still not a fan of adding Mankato to the NCHC because you might as well add the rest of the old WCHA. Quote

Siouxperfan7 Posted June 12, 2018 Posted June 12, 2018 I think the NCHC should wait until another western school starts D1 and then add them as well as ASU. 1 Quote

Don’t think Miami or WMU would like that. Might have a mutiny. But if more PAC12 or UNLV/ Boise St teams add hockey, St Cloud and Duluth wouldn’t want that many western teams in the league. Quote

I don't think that it's too much for schools in the NATIONAL Collegiate Hockey Conference to understand that the conference is not a regional conference (like Hockey East). I don't think Miami and WMU would look to go to say the WCHA because of travel reasons. Quote

Miami and WMU would never go to the WCHA, but a new CCHA started by BGSU and Oakland with Niagara, Canisius, Mercyhurst etc around Lake Erie. The WCHA in now a laggard conference with no name DI schools that BGSU desparately wants to get out of. Quote
cberkas Posted June 12, 2018 Author Posted June 12, 2018 BGSU trying to start up the CCHA again would be in a conference just like the WCHA is now. 1 Quote

The new CCHA wouldn’t have two Alaska schools or DII Minnesota schools. Always imagined that Spokane and Boise would make great college hockey cities. EWU is moving the the PAC8 ACHA DII conference. Boise St is already there. EWU is merging their two club teams that played in the BCIHL and the NorPac and is stepping up. Don’t know where they would get money to go varsity though. Boise is probably more promising. https://easterneronline.com/42923/sports/ewu-hockey-moves-to-new-conference/ Quote

SiouxVolley Posted June 17, 2018 Posted June 17, 2018 Not exactly know where to put this, but Major Junior hockey has been reneging on college tuition payment. The NCAA looks good in comparison.

No reason to even bid when Vegas puts in their first bid. As far as Final Fours or Frozen Fours, doesn't the NCAA still have their stupid rule about NCAA sanctioned tournaments in the state of Nevada? that would have to be lifted or a Frozen or Final Four to be there.

farce poobah Posted July 10, 2018 Posted July 10, 2018 If there's going to be a Frozen Four in Las Vegas, I can think of a school with good connections to Vegas hoteliers to host the Tournament. Quote

Nobody bids for super bowls anymore. The NFL picks the site then works with the cities to see if they can make it work. They just implemented that change. Quote

They promise these kids that they'll pay for their college education if they choose them over the NCAA and when it is time to make good on it, the kids are told "Well, it just doesn't work that way here". This is the best argument for the NCAA over CHL. 1 Quote
