    Exactly. People keep saying that these things won't, CAN'T happen. Yet they do.

    I think it's far more unlikely that expansion stalls at this point.

      Then go from there...
      That would involve two years of no autobid, though.

          If this is true then it is a fact, but since I don't bother with them it can't be true.

            I can't imagine ASU would have pursued this (which it appears they did, rather than waiting for an alum to say 'I've got $30 million here if you start hockey') if they thought they would remain a geographic outlier for a long time. ADs talk to each other.

                    Such an easy schedule that gets them to the tournament once every 5 years. It apparently isn't easy enough

                          Are there really 5 Pac12 schools with donors ready to step forward with $30M each? Are there even 5 schools in the entire country with that?

                                There already is and will be lots more speculation about where ASU ends up and what is the best fit. Ultimately I think, ASU is going to (at least initially) end up in whatever situation makes the best sense for them. And let's not kid ourselves; that means the best economic situation. So when you're all speculating it's best to remember that if the WCHA and NCHC are going to "compete" in some way for this team to join their conference, then whoever can offer the best financial incentives is probably going to win the battle. I don't see either conference in a strong position to offer financial incentives. The WCHA does have the exemptions for playing in Alaska which does add up to additional home games. At minimum that is probably worth somewhere in the neighborhood of 200,000 dollars a year with the high end of perhaps even double that amount. Being already geographically disadvantaged is going to weigh into the decision as well. Go to Alaska and gain the exemptions but you also have to go to Houghton and Marquette and Big Rapids and Alabama. There are two relatively close schools in the BHHC (Denver and CC) but those are still flights for ASU and the rest of that conference is no better than the WCHA in terms of travel profile for ASU.

                                Should be interesting.
