Re: WCHA Pushing To Team With Big Ten, NCHC For Conference Tournaments
I'd think you'd inevitably have the "little brother" syndrome, as you had when the ECAC and HE had their tournament at the same venue at more or less the same time.
The luster is off the conference tournaments, and I think it's partially and unintended consequence of the NCAA tournament expansion and by a more transparent and objective way of selecting the field for the NCAA tournament. Too many teams (and more importantly fan bases) know well in advance that they're going to the NCAA tournament.
