Unless you are going to move UND out of Grand Forks you are going to deal with same limitations no matter what conference they are in. probably a good question for schloss about NIL but it's here and we have a hard time coming up with corporate money already for our "other" sports.... we seem to be losing good recruits for other schools in the last couple of years so i do wonder if money is one of them?

The Sicatoka Posted March 22, 2023 Posted March 22, 2023 Your math doesn't work in a nine team field. After quarters you have FIVE teams left. Your semis account for only four. Quote

The Sicatoka Posted March 22, 2023 Posted March 22, 2023 Let me save you trouble, what your 9-team would end up: #1 gets bye 9@2 etc, winners plus bye reseed and to Final Five format Quote
fightingsioux4life Posted March 22, 2023 Posted March 22, 2023 Here is the corrected version for you all. Here is an on-campus post-season format for the NCHC if we added St. Thomas: Quarterfinal Round The last place team is eliminated from post-season contention. The other eight teams are matched up by regular season finish: #1 hosts #8 in two out of three game series (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) #2 hosts #7 in two out of three game series (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) #3 hosts #6 in two out of three game series (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) #4 hosts #5 in two out of three game series (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) Semifinal Round Highest remaining seed hosts lowest remaining seed in two out of three game series (Friday, Saturday, Sunday). Second highest remaining seed hosts second lowest remaining seed in two out of three game series (Friday, Saturday, Sunday). Finals Highest remaining seed hosts lowest remaining seed in two out of three game series (Thursday, Friday, Saturday)*. *Final Series is pushed back one day to avoid conflicting with Selection Sunday. If we stay at 8 teams, everyone will be included in the Quarterfinals and everything else stays the same. Quote
90siouxfan Posted March 22, 2023 Posted March 22, 2023 Is NIL information required to be disclosed? Is there evidence the piss yellow tribes are buying thier recent success? Quote

jk Posted March 22, 2023 Posted March 22, 2023 For me, that's potentially way too many games for your top two teams to play right before the NCAA tournament. They'd be on fumes when they should be fresh. 3 Quote

iluvdebbies Posted March 22, 2023 Posted March 22, 2023 Have to win 6 games to win a conference tournament....4 games to win a National Championship. Makes a lot of sense. Quote
90siouxfan Posted March 22, 2023 Posted March 22, 2023 Since we are throwing things out there... Bottom 4, season over. Top 4 single game elimination at barn of highest bid from previous seasons top 4. Extra week rest for regional 1 Quote

Top 4 single game elimination at barn of highest bid from previous seasons top 4. Extra week rest for regional Would never happen. Give your top 12 in Pairwise week off. Remaining teams go to Arena of highest remaining team and play for Conference auto bid. Gets the Conference extra bid and the teams already in get week off. Quote

No, I'm talking about a NCHC Tourney. i.e this year all teams expected SCSU, Denver, with W. Michigan report to Omaha this year. Play 5 team tourney with winner getting the autobid. Quote

What is the point of this outside of excluding a team while managing to lengthen the Nchc tournament by an extra weekend and a bunch of extra games? Not opposed to change, but why try to burn out whoever wins? 1 Quote

fightingsioux4life Posted March 26, 2023 Posted March 26, 2023 I think the COVID year format (2020-21) with all 8 teams in one place may be the long-term solution. It worked well that year and it would be one good thing to come out of that mess of a season. Quote
