Re: It's Realignment time, it's realignment time! Make it work
Originally posted by joecct View PostMy plan leaves room for URI, Navy, and other BCS schools to join a conference. And, if it pains everyone so much, remember the WCHA - HEA interlock?? It could apply to the Ivy - Empire - AHA mix, if the conferences don't want to play 4x against each other.
And why is there this hard and fast rule that conferences can't go over 12 teams? Who decided this was a thing?Without A Peer - Full coverage of RPI Men's and Women's Hockey, with a twist of lemon.

"BTHC (8 teams)"
Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Penn State, Notre Dame, Uconn.
Big Ten goes to 16 teams (likely candidates to fill the other spots are Kansas, Missouri, Syracuse and Rutgers). Notre Dame can even join for hockey only if they want. Gets the camel's nose under the tent.Last edited by AFHockeyFan; 03-21-2011, 04:57 PM.2010-2011 Atlantic Hockey Pick 'Em Champion!

And I believe their answer to Miami to join was "No, you're a MAC school." They arent going to let a lesser hockey team, let alone a Big East team in. Sorry, this is a Big 0% Chance of happening.

Re: It's Realignment time, it's realignment time! Make it work
The most likely scenario is very little change. The BTHC teams will have their conference, the rest of the teams will probably line up just as they are, except I don't understand why AF isn't in the WCHA, and sharing the Alaska travel pain made sense once but not now when the CCHA is going to have serious money worries.

Re: It's Realignment time, it's realignment time! Make it work
Ok, let's play what if for a second. These are rumors, but where there is smoke there is fire generally.
What if the revenue the CCHA team get from their remaining structure falls short of what they need, and two if not more of those teams drop hockey.
What if revenue in the remaining WCHA schools is about the same as before, ( a stretch I know)
what if additional present Big Ten schools add hockey, say two of them in 2015.
Where would we be then as a college hockey community?
This imho, is the real problem.MTU: Three time NCAA champions.

Why don't they take out the Ivy Leagues give them their own conference. Take The Air Force Academy, and put them into the WCHA. Then combine the remaining AHA schools into a new ECAC. You could also probably reunite the two Alaska schools into one conference.
