    Just tell the teams it's everyone for themselves and we can skip the league meetings for the next two years. All we're missing is information that the lease on the league's offices ends in 2013.
    He still has a job to do.

      He will have to either try to keep the teams he has or recruit new teams ie UAH, Mercyhurst, Robert Morris, and Niagara; or combine with WCHA.

        Don't ever think Huntsville will ever be added to the CCHA. It's a two day trip or a flight for almost every except Miami.

          WCHA already did call. Our AD politely declined.
          The dollars and cents did not add up for a move to the WCHA. Even now, it would be even more costly. There would be an annual flight to Colorado and a bus trip to either Grand Forks or Omaha, plus the every other year flight to Anchorage. Now I know that Anchorage subsidizes the flight there, but the other factors don't match in this world of declining federal and state revenues and decreased attendance. There would also have been a couple seasons where NMU would have gotten little if any WCHA tournament revenue. And those revenues are likely to decrease with the loss of Minnesota and Wisconsin.

            If this is the case college hockey is going to be suffering for long time from the lack of making money and programs will fold.

                Fred P will save the CCHA. Teams will make more money without the Big 10 teams.

                    Fred will either be a SID for MSU or work for the Big 10 hockey in a couple of years.

                            Huntsville is showing a strong commitment by making those kinds of trips several times a year. CCHA teams would only have to go to Huntsville once every year or two. Hopefully, the CCHA is at least open to talking about taking in UAH.

                              This move got me thinking about the Fox Sports broadcasts. With the Big Tenwelve teams leaving, I bet you see FSD dump CCHA broadcasts. The TV slate is 90% UM/MSU anyway. Viewership will be minimal for a WMU/Ferris matchup. Advertisers will not be interested.

                                No more CCHA games on tv. The only coverage the CCHA is going get is TV6 out of Marquette or on yooper tube.
