How can you think a conference filled with high tier teams is going to be a failure? One that could easily have 6 teams in the tournament every year? It's an honest question, I just don't get it. Name another conference that's going to have the same talent of teams top to bottom as the NCHC is going to have? Regardless of TV deals, website quality, etc. a conference with quality teams is going to receive notoriety. It just doesn't make any sense to me.
    We are not going to know the fall out for at least 7 to 10 years.

      The key factor for any program where they play is money, upgrades to rinks and tv deals.

        Fortunately, we've got more money than God.

          Yeah, and the WCHA marketing firm has done them a lot of good as well. Their ticket marketing plan is really genius.

            What fallout? Serously? Most of the teams in the NCHC are the power teams after the B1G from the CCHA and WCHA. Then you have SCSU...

              The WCHA has the Big 10 backing them because a few Womens teams play in the WCHA.

              Also, looking at the small school WCHA non confrence schedule they have plenty Big 10 teams playing them.

              Looking at the NCHC NC schedule not much Big but plenty of eastern teams.

                You hear this From Barry Alvarez? The NCHC has 3 women's teams in the WCHA.

                  Eric, if you believe everything will remain the same in 10 years then I have a great fishing lake in South Dakota I would like to show you. There are so many unknown things that will happen. What comes to mind would be recruiting, improvement of facilities, possible BiG expansion. The list goes on and on.

                    So the WCHA teams have plenty of Big 10 teams coming to their arena? Probably not.

Many of us have a tattoo waiting in the wings, WHEN (not IF) the Gophers are champions again.

                        Yeah, I woudl guess that it's going to be pretty even. Just looking at MN teams, the same deal applies for SCSU, UMD, MSU, and BSU. I would imagine the same is going to apply for Michigan teams and Miami. The only thing that's going to change that is if the pairwise formula changes.

                          The WCHA had what, 6 teams in the tournament last year? Why is assuming the new conference, with the teams that will be in it, could have 5-6 teams make it completely ridiculous? Quality teams with quality players are going to be there, regardless of what conference they're in. If you think the new conference isn't going to have that quality, I guess we'll have to agree to disagree.

                            This year we were lucky to get 1/2 the league in the Tourney. There is no way 3/4 of a conference is going to make the Tourney.

                              Why would I need a great fishing lake in SD, when I have Devils Lake, North Dakota? So, do you think some how the rest of college hockey is going dry up and whither on the vine? This season the ECAC proved that you don't need to be one of the self-congratulatory power conferences to win an NCAA title, last time I checked Yale doesn’t have a big time TV deal or that many first round draft choices.
