Notre Dame has the strongest brand in college sports but even that couldn't overcome his reputation as a stifling coach who doesn't prepare players for the pro game.

Friend of a friend who grew up on Summit Ave said it's because some of the most influential families in MN live right there and have for generations. The James J. Hill house literally backs up to 35E right as the slowdown starts.

Good for Augustana, but seems like the CCHA is not wanting them to jump ship and not pay an exit fee.
