  • Re: The New WCHA, 2014 Offseason: See-ya, Bruce

    2-3 years down the road, the CCHA (in some form) will re-emerge.

    I'm NOT saying that I HOPE or WISH it would happen...just that I believe it WILL happen.
    The economic realities are undeniable and the present layout is unsustainable.

    BG, Miami, WMU, FSU...(plus LSSU, if they want) and 2-3 AH schools.
    Du hockey comme dans le temps!

      No doubt it will. And if it does, LSSU will certainly be jumping on that train. With the road trips on our schedule this year, our travel budget just went way up.

        EADA data for the 2013-2014 season isn't available yet, since the reporting year ended 6/30. But the 2012-2013 pre-nWCHA baseline is.

        BGSU Ice Hockey
        Reporting Year: 7/1/2012 - 6/30/2013

        Total Expenses minus Operating Expenses
        1,466,883 - 441,640 = 1,025,243

        Total Expenses includes appearance guarantees and options, athletically related student aid, contract services, equipment, fundraising activities, operating expenses, promotional activities, recruiting expenses, salaries and benefits, supplies, travel, and any other expenses attributable to intercollegiate athletic activities.

        Operating Expenses includes all expenses an institution incurs attributable to home, away, and neutral-site intercollegiate athletic contests (commonly known as "game-day expenses"), for (A) Lodging, meals, transportation, uniforms, and equipment for coaches, team members, support staff (including, but not limited to team managers and trainers), and others; and (B) Officials.
        How are you getting total expenses for hockey broken out? I see operating expenses for hockey, but total expenses is lumped in for all sports except basketball and football.

        FWIW, UAF's operating expenses for hockey in the last reporting period was $1.3 million. To put that in perspective, BGSU's operating expenses for football was $1.1 million.

        It will be interesting to see how these numbers change in the nWCHA. My hunch is operating expenses will go down a bit as the travel deal is better than what we had in the CCHA.

          yep, it will be fascinating to see the new numbers. looks like last year's public disclosure deadline was Oct. 15.

          I'm looking at the data that BGSU submitted, which breaks it down better than the EADA site. The data is out there somewhere, whether or not individual schools choose to make finding easy.

            Just exactly how is that "ouch" worthy? Unless of course by "ouch" you mean ... "UAF is committed to D1 Hockey at the highest level".

            Jeezus ... it really blows goats that UAA and UAF are stuck in a conference with so many programs who don't appear to be fully committed to D1 hockey.

                ouch, your perpetual butthurt. it must be a painful condition, and we empathize in the Midwest.

                because we were talking about operating expenses--not total investment, "commitment", dick size, or anything else.
                btw, anchorage's 2012-2013 operating expenses were less than half of UAF's. in your world, that apparently means that UAF is twice as "committed" to hockey as anchorage. oh noes! lol.

                  Well why don't you see if one of those conferences that are better committed will take you. Where exactly would your program be without these schools of lesser commitment? Oh...The ACHC, Alaska Collegiate Hockey Conference. You need Ferris and Northern and Bemidji and LSSU.

                      Assuming the reports are true, shouldn't you be at the local strip club that has pregnant chicks? "I like _______ because the girls there are REAL."

                        Tell you what. When either Alaska school wins THEIR FIRST league title - regular season OR playoff - instead of of one of these other programs who aren't "fully committed to D1 hockey", then come back and try again. And no, anything you won in the Great West Hockey Conference against Northern Arizona and US international doesn't count.

                          I'm more convinced than ever that Donald is a troll. No one could be that delusional while maintaining the mental capacity to use the Internet.

                              You have my deepest sympathies. Allow me to express my condolence in this haiku:
