EDIT: I haven't read the by laws, and I sure hope there's no requirement to start a conference if 6 schools sponsor a team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin G Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 The official announcement about Fenton leaving is here. It says Fenton will leave the NCHC after the season ends and begin Summit League duties in April 2022. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FSSD Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 It will be interesting to see what happens. He has some challenges moving over to the Summit League: 1) On boarding of St. Thomas 2) Following MVC/OVC changes (WIU/UM-KC) 3) Final NCAA Constitution Changes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NCHC brand is too valuable to dissolve, especially for a no-name basketball conference. Thought #1: Move the NCHC under the umbrella of the Summit League? I've no idea if that would be good or bad. But it seems like we all just went through major realignment, like, yesterday. I have no appetite for more major rejiggering at the moment. Thought #2: The NCHC can surely find its next commissioner within the ranks of siouxsports.com. Who knows more about college hockey that internet opinion makers? Right? Plus there may be a few of us who would be willing to be paid in beer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crb1 Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 It will be interesting to see how this develops. At this time I would not be in favor of a summit hockey league or having the NCHC become the summit league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UND found out that at least for football the Summitt League is not a premier league at least for football. NCHC does not need anything but the NCHC. NCHC brand is fine and very strong as it is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
