My point is that hockey is a red-headed stepchild in the Little 7. It will ALWAYS be a third-rate sport at best (and sometimes not even that). The NCHC is a pure hockey conference with some of the country's best teams. It's an easy choice as far as I am concerned. 3 Quote

You not knowing what TL;DR means coupled with your meme game makes me very happy and I'm not being facetious and it's not an insult. The varied ages, personality types and opinions are a huge part of what I like about our little world, here 1 1 Quote

Good to see the Hawks stay on top. All 7 B1G teams in top 11. Take N. Dak. out of there and what do you have? Wisconsin is rebuilding their fan base and could pass us next season in attendance with a few more wins. The B1G does pretty well with attendance and viewership during the season. Any conference would take those numbers. Quote

Wisconsin and Ohio State also play in venues with some of the largest capacities in college hockey. Kohl Center is like 16,000 capacity and I think Ohio State’s capacity is 18,000.

I just get the feeling attendance is much better than people on here realize and do understand the difference in tickets sold and how many actually show up at the games. Wisconsin did have 15,000 for a Ohio State game (no pics of that on here). The tickets sold bring in revenue. Now, how about the Double Whammy? The B1G catches some of these fans that bought tickets, didn't show up at the game, and then watched/listened to the games through the various media outlets. These fans paid for the tickets, had no butt in their seat, and then contributed to viewership ratings. Quote

I'm not sure how the B1G viewership ratings matters in this conversation about attendance. I watched nearly every Minny game on TV last year and I don't think there was ever a game I saw 7,000 there.

Yeah, I'm not sure what that post was getting at. Regular season ticket revenue all goes to the institutions, the only thing the B1G gets anything out of is the playoff series. Quote

I believe BarnWinter meant it as two positives though. The university gets ticket money even when they don't show up and the Big Ten Network gets increased viewership if they stay home and watch the game instead. Which in turn means.... 5 hours ago, BarnWinterSportsEngelstad said: BTN - Hockey is televised by the B1G, creates revenue for it's members.
