SiouxFanatic Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Don gets to play against the cream of the Division 1 crop. I burst out laughing when I read this. Thanks for a good chuckle. Your naivety to the college hockey scene is quite apparent from this post. Haha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goon Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Don gets to play against the cream of the Division 1 crop. The B1G is just a bit better than AHA hockey. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petey23 Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 B1G.I know you don't know much about college hockey so I'll help you out. There are 6 conferences in college hockey. The Big 10 was the 5th best conference of these 6 last season and while this season has to play out the best they could probably hope for would be to move past the WCHA for 4th. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burd Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 (edited) In fairness, Johnboy did disclose early on that he knows little about hockey (as petey pointed out). We need to educate him, but he comes in good faith. Edited October 25, 2015 by burd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All schools and conferences need to go out of their way to try recruit another 15-20 schools to start college hockey proprograms and create one or two more conferences. And a majority of them need to be full D1 schools with decent fan/alumni bases that will help grow the popularity of the sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said when the Big 10 was formed for hockey that if in the next 4-5 years it doesn't result in the addition of several additional programs it will have been terrible for all of college .................................as opposed to those who declared immediately that it wrecked college hockey.

petey23 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Pitting B1G schools against each other I think will be good for them in time. Who knows though. Unfortunately they are kind of caught in a catch 22 right now. With Wisconsin and Michigan State at low points in their programs and Ohio State never really being 100% committed to winning, and Michigan a little down when the Big 10 conference began playing hockey that left Penn State who is doing things right and building excitement around their program....but they are a new program with some growing pains and Minnesota who was and is one of the premier programs in college hockey to carry the flag. The first season was mediocre as a conference and last season was a complete disaster so now they are at the point where these kids that are being recruited and worried about their development and listening to their "family advisors" are thinking twice about the Big 10 as they won't be facing top competition as often as they would in Hockey East and the NCHC.With the conference on a definite down cycle right now the best thing that could happen would be for a few additional schools to add hockey to build some excitement.Every other school in the conference has at least 1 if not 2 club hockey teams currently.Iowa has quite a few USHL teams and Lincoln draws extremely well so Iowa and Nebraska would be naturals as would Illinois and Indiana.

It's very unlikely that Nebraska gets a hockey team any time in the near future. UNO cut football to ensure that hockey could be their cash cow going forward. Both schools are the the same university system. Lincoln wouldn't be stealing fans from UNO by any means, but it is a lot of money to spend that could just go towards football instead. It's kind of a "you guys get football, we get hockey" type of situation. Who knows though. It could happen, but not until there is a generational shift in both Lincoln's administration and the U of Nebraska board of regents. I think Rutgers and Illinois are the two Big 10 schools that are most likely to get hockey. They would be wise to extend an invitation to Arizona State as a hockey-only member as well IMO.

How UConn uses sacred Brass Bonanza as their goal horn. How dare they take that from my defunct Whalers. I'm so miffed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
