Re: NBC/Versus deal with College Hockey
Originally posted by Osorojo View PostI kinda miss all the assurances from self-satisfied career hockey fans that TV will always scorn college hockey coverage, and failing that college hockey will always be immune to the influence of TV money. Nachos, anyone?
edit: (apologies LynahFan) of course nothing will serve the Cornell brand better than a 23-year old who struggled past the tenth grade on the third try... maybe they'll be better served by trading for a draft-pick from Pittsburgh-based powerhouse Robert Morris.Last edited by Patman; 08-22-2011, 09:58 PM.

Re: NBC/Versus deal with College Hockey
Originally posted by burd View PostI love college hockey, have for 40 years, and I'd like to watch it on TV more. That would be fun.
But I just don't know what exactly that phrase "natchos anyone" means or where it came from. Is it just further evidence that we are so "corporatized" that we now must speak in a shorthand derived from marketing catchphrases? Does it mean that even hockey boards like this one are not immune to the creeping influence of corpthink persons who are no longer able to discuss this wonderful game without bringing this corporate contagion with them, intentionally or not? Is it too late? Is a college hockey game still a college hockey game? Is there anyone strong and honest enough to discuss it? sigh

Re: NBC/Versus deal with College Hockey
Originally posted by JCrawford View PostTime Warner uses local talent because Time Warner Sports is considered to be a local television network. I'm not sure how well that would work with a large national TV network like NBC/Versus.
BC vs ND
BU vs BC
Minn vs Wisco
Mich vs Mich St
ND vs Mich/Mich St
UND vs Minn
and i guess for ECAC Cornell vs Yale
and AHA with Air Forve vs Army
If any more match ups are televised besides those ones I would be amazed. I would especially be impressed if they are able to lock up some tournaments ie the Beanpot/GLI and maybe HE tourney.

Originally posted by GoNU5 View PostThis whole situation seems like a win-win for WMU. Either they jump into the NCHC and benefit from the exposure, or they stay in the CCHA and get into the NCAA tournament most years.

Originally posted by CHFAN222 View PostND basically has the option to do whatever they want. They are doing the smart thing and doing research into all of their options and making an informed decision about how their conference alignment will fit in with their program. No point in rushing the decision. Though I imagine this wait must be nerve raking to WMU fans.
