    It would also potentially force the conference to take UConn, without a facilities or scholarship upgrade. It could also blow the conference's geography when Syracuse adds men's hockey, and almost certainly would pave the way for Syracuse women's hockey to join the conference.

    It remains to be seen if some of these would be "Pros" or "Cons".

      I'm sure before HE made a deal they would work out some deal for UCONN. Although with additional revenue that Hockey could bring into UCONN from the deal I'm sure they could fund 18 scholarships.

      Also I don't think you'd hear anyone really complain about bringing a school with the reputation and size of Syracuse into the conference if they added a mens team(aside from maybe BC). The only school that would loose out would be URI since it would mean they would be less likely to join HE if they ever started a program.

        Why would BC complain?
        The only positive of expansion would be going from 27 to 22 HE games.

        Edit: GDF would wake up from his coma if UConn joined. BC's good with Syracuse though

          How many hockey games does the Big Ten Network show? Doesn't it only involve games between Big Ten teams? For example, I don't think they'd show Michigan-Notre Dame. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Providence is now the only Big East member associated with Hockey East. I don't see a partnership like that happening anytime soon.

          Have to echo what claver asked, why would BC complain about this?

            I believe an ATO is a way for teams to sign a player immediately, because the deadline to sign players for this year has passed. This way they get them into the lineup immediately. could be wrong though.

              I think the concept (flawed as it may be) was to get HE games on the BE network regardless of the schools actual affliation with the BE.

                Wasn't sure if there where still some hard feelings between BC and the BE and its members from the split. However like I said time and money have a way of healing these things. Yes the idea was to increase HE coverage by having it go on that network and give the BE network more programing and HE a potential new source of revenue. The potential for a partnership makes sense.

                  Specifically related to Syracuse, there are no hard feelings. BC played them in football this past year.

                  I just wouldn't see a Big East Network being interested in partnering with a hockey league that only has one league member in it...

                    Hey JCarter nice job on this thread.

                    Can't seem to get used to so many non-VT fans giving such warm and fuzzy comments.

                    I give it a few weeks.

                      Good thread.

                      Here are HE records against WCHA and CCHA teams (not counting post-season) and Strength of Schedule (SOS) for 2010-11:

                      BC: 3-0-0; 23rd
                      UNH: 1-1-1; 19th
                      Mack: 0-0-0; 39th
                      NU: 0-0-0; 33rd
                      BU: 2-0-1; 25th
                      Maine: 2-2-1; 21st
                      UVM: 0-2-1; 22nd
                      UMass: 0-4-0; 31st
                      UML: 0-2-0; 42nd
                      PC: 0-2-0; 44nd
                      Totals: 8-13-4; 30th

                      Despite this dismal record, as recently as February 27th, HE had five teams knocking on the door of the top 15 in the PWR, with BU and Maine tied for 15th with 16 PWR points ahead of CC with 17.

                            Idk how BC was 3-0. I thought they lost to Notre Dame way back in October. Notre Dame seems to have the Hockey East's number this year. They also beat Merrimack and UNH on the way to the Frozen Four.

                              Yup.

                              Where did Snively get those stats?

To put it another way, if MNS ever gets any, he'll appreciate the experience on a far deeper level than the rest of us did when it was our first time, simply because he's gone far longer and failed far more than we ever did.

                                Actually Snively got the BU record against the WCHA and CCHA correct.

                                BU went 1-0-1 against Notre Dame and 1-0-0 against Wisc.
