If Big Ten Offers UND Should They Join?

  1. 1. If Big Ten hockey decides to expand and potentially offer UND, would you like UND to abandon the NCHC and join the Big Ten?

Notre Dame to Big Ten Hockey.  :blink:

Makes perfect sense for Notre Dame to make the move as they are basically in the heart of the B10. 

I could see Arizona St. making the move but the NCHC would be the better fit until the Pac-12 starts hockey.

Speaking of ASU, ran across this tweet

Just spoke to coach Powers at Arizona State. They are close to a final decision on conference. Working out final details. Down to two.

I think there is going to be another round of shakeups coming and this year.  Notre Dame is the first domino to fall.  I see Bemidji and or Mankato moving to the NCHC and ASU up for grabs between the 2.  WMU and Miami going to the WCHA.  Get ready for a turbulent few weeks here.  Just pray that UND doesn't make the mistake of going to the PIG10.

Adding Bemidji and Mankato would be admitting the NCHC failed.

How is that admitting NCHC failed?  It is a strong conference and now is time to make it stronger.  Mankato is a good team as is Bemidji.  Makes more sense geographically and money wise you are bringing in more local teams.

Because the conference would be the exact same as it would have been in the WCHA minus Anchorage and Tech. Theres no need to start a new conference to shun two schools.

The B1G won't stay at seven.  Maybe there is something to the Miami rumors.

Ariz St probably wants to be with UNLV, which has less chance than UND to be invited to the B1G.

Notre Dame fans insisted there was no way that they would go to the B1G.  Miami and UCONN would be the most likely if Ariz St turns down the B1G.

Pretty much assures ASU to the B1G. Don't expect any shake-up in the NCHC (adding or subtracting) unless there are a lot of other dominoes that fall, which I don't see happening.

ASU to the NCHC had the possibility to cause more turmoil, going to the B1G won't have the same effect.

A Gopher fan on USCHO said he asked a B1G representative if Arizona State was going to be added to the B1G and they said no. We'll have to wait and see.
