Re: The end of leagues as we know?
First of all, I haven't seen that argument made, but I believe I joined this thread about page 25, so maybe I missed "everyone" beating that drum. Also, I never blamed those teams for the WCHA folding.
Second, attempted murder (actually it would be more along the lines of manslaughter) of small college programs is still a crime against college hockey.
Many small school fans are complaining about people making decisions without regard to their personal small schools survival. The problem comes in when those same fans' schools were trying to do the exact same thing.
How about taking a principled stand? We can't vote for this because we could envision ourselves in Ferris State's shoes. No?
So explain exactly how you are different than DU, UND or UW. The fact that your school ultimately failed doesn't absolve them from what they were trying.
