    However, I wouldn't be surprised if FS North and FS Wisconsin pick up some of the games with FS Wisconsin probably losing most, if not all, television rights to the B1G 10 Network when the B1G 10 conf starts play.
    FS Wisconsin and FS North will still have plenty of Gophers and Badgers when they aren't playing on the BTN.

      Number 73 TV market couldn't get their team any games and the Number 76 TV market hosts two games?

      Here's who's hosting games, and their Nielson Market rank (as of 2010).
      http://blog.nielsen.com/nielsenwire/...-dma-ranks.pdf
      Boston University at Notre Dame
      Boston (7) at South Bend-Elkhart (91)

      Dartmouth at RPI
      Unranked -- at Albany-Schenectady-Troy (51)

      Minnesota Duluth at Nebraska-Omaha
      Duluth-Superior (139) at Omaha (76)

      Michigan at Notre Dame
      Detroit (11) at South Bend-Elkhart (91)

      Yale at Harvard
      Hartford (30) at Boston (7)

      Cornell at RPI
      Syracuse (83) at Albany-Schenectady-Troy (51)

      Boston College at Vermont
      Boston (7) at Burlington-Plattsburgh (94)

      Minnesota at Denver
      Minneapolis-St. Paul (15) at Denver (16)

      Dartmouth at Yale
      Unranked -- at Hartford (30)

      Boston University at Vermont
      Boston (7) at Burlington-Plattsburgh (94)

      North Dakota at Denver
      Unranked -- at Denver (16)

      Denver at Nebraska-Omaha
      Denver (16) at Omaha (76)



      I know there are advertiser/broadcaster decisions that have a much higher pull than the "good of the game," I was just pointing out the breakdown.

      Give kudos to NBC for actually TRAVELING to these locations. Could have camped out at Agganis Arena or the Conte Forum and made things easier.

      For record, the future WCHA schools markets:
      Anchorage 150, Fairbanks 202, Mankato 199, Grand Rapids-Kalmzoo-B.Crk (FSU) 41, Marquette (MTU, NMU) 180, Traverse City-Cadillac (LSSU, FSU) 117, Toledo (BGSU) 71, Bemidji Unranked,

        I suppose so. I'm just not sure how the licensing would work exactly, or what kind of number the BTN would be looking for as far as hockey games televised per year. After all, this still is hockey, and I'm not sure it would be in that high of demand. (Although, they sure seem to play EVERY big ten volleyball game.)

        I would still think if their were licensing they would probably televise the games with WI or MN w/ WCHA teams, especially if they are are playing the WCHA teams. There's not exactly a lot going on on FSN Wisconsin I have noticed.....

            My best guess at the T.V. schedule for the B1G is all the conference games will be on the Big ten network, but non-conference will be on the FS networks.

                  After air-drying for two days, NMUKat's Kory Kaunisto cancer jersey still smells awful. *puke icon* We may need to wash it once or twice before putting it into the closet with the other jerseys...

                    We only tried bidding on Devan Hartigan's jersey, but it quickly went out of our price range. He's my 3 year old

                      Proof that I have way too much time on my hands up here in the Arctic, Northern and Vermont are the only two teams in the top 25 of the pairwise or ranked in the polls that have not faced a team that is either unranked or outside of the top 25 of the Pairwise. If the teams that Northern has played continue to play at the level they have been, and those Northern is scheduled to play continue playing on the same level, Northern has the chance of facing only 2 non-TUC teams. Those teams being Alaska and Bowling Green of which we only have one series for a total of 4 games against non-TUC teams. Northern just needs to keep it up and work some of those games they've been tying into wins and they should be looking at an NCAA bid. I know it's early, but not having the typical slow start looks to pay off HUGE come March for NMU. If they go on the after Christmas rampage that they have in years past it won't be left up to other teams either.

                          Just Win Baby. That simple fact alone really does make the math easy when it comes to the postseason. It's a lot easier on you to be worrying about getting a high seed in the playoffs versus they gotta win the conference championship to earn an autobid to get into the postseason.
