    This quote is from GopherPuckLive, by the guy who runs the site (Jupiter). Bolded part is my doing, since it directly pertains to my revenues standpoint:
    No you are wrong I do get it and it sounds like there was and currently is a problem before the scary BTHC gets started.

      Agreed. That's a nice chunk of change, but hardly the stuff that kills programs.

      Like I said, if your hockey program can't survive with a budget that takes a 30k haircut (since they won't be losing all of that revenue), then the program wasn't likely to survive in the first place.

        I don't think $100,000 less would kill Tech hockey. we'd suck it up somewhere else. UND uses that much for DUI lawyers. DU caters meals worth more than that. CC donors spend it on chuck-a-puck. Minnesota has Lucia's hair insured for more.

            It wouldn't kill it, but it would put a dent in some budgets. Again, that's just from one tourney. Add to that the loss in regular season revenues and such...I think that the programs will slowly erode, and eventually some schools will be lost.

            As for starting new D1 programs...well, look how long it took a major school like Penn State to go D1.

                  You have alot of negative reps ***. I contributed to get people talking about smaller schools financial troubles, but your rants didnt prove anything except to you trying to score points with posters whom disagreed. Disagreeing was part of the discussion if you read the thread starter and finally fear of schools folding terminated the thread. For your ignorant self that is a good thing so there are deeper financial issues abound in college hockey that have nothing to do currently with the BTHC issue. If the moderator wants to close the thread great, I got something out of it and if not so be it. One thing you exposed yourself as a ignorant cronie. END OF STORY.

                    Can you name one benefit for smaller schools?

                            The TSA has added the BTHC to their 'No Fly List'

                            Large D1 schools, in all sports, love to play smaller schools because of the 'open a can of whoop *****' feeling that comes along with it. The more crushing the win the more prestige the big schools get. Think of it as an energy drink for them. For this, they pay a small stipend to the smallers schools to be their patsy for a day or weekend.

                            The smaller schools benefit from the additional income and 'if', they have a good accountant on their staff, work out the numbers in their favor. College after all is a business. Does this additional income go into the hockey program, maybe, maybe not. Does this help the program suceed, again, it all depends.

                            No offense to the smaller schools here by the way.

                            Maybe the NCAA needs to act like a profesional sports organization and look after the health of their members like the NFL and MLB. They (NCAA) seem to do this for basketball and football but from what I've read here, not so much for hockey, leaving it up to the individual conferences to muddle through it.

                            That's just my thoughts on this, thank you for reading and feel free to go back to ripping each other, it's been enjoyable reading.

                            FSU and Miami, I didn't know the State of Florida had two college hockey teams, duh!

                              I do thanks for noticing. I have worked hard to inflame the BC and UML fans and have reaped the rewards. Most of my negative rep hasn't come from ****** rants.

                              You did? Hmm, I have seen at least a dozen threads already doing so. Near as I can tell what you contributed to was showing everyone that you fail at understanding the concept of "dialogue"

                              Ignorant? That would imply I don't understand the discussion. That's not the case, I just don't agree and choose not to entertain this idiotic foray you have initiated.

                                A Big 10 Conference in hockey means better visibility for college hockey nationally, so I'm all for it. The smaller schools will be fine, but I do think the liklihood of an RIT, Bemidji, or Brown's chances of ever winning a title will be pretty much ended.

                                The B10 schools, the power brokers in Hockey East (BC, BU), and the western teams (UND, DU) will be the only teams that probably will consistently win national titles going forward. It'll resemble NCAA basketball which may or may not be good depending on what school you root for.

                                You can't deny that it's good "overall" for the sport though
