    (1) It came out that UND and DU didn't like the revenue sharing that took place between all WCHA teams even if schools hadn't participated in the Final Five.

        Can NMU, Tech and LSSU start the we are 99% in college hockey? :P Its funny seeing Denver and NoDak acting like "Big Schools." The truth is, NoDak plays in Great West, and soon to move to the Big Sky. They wouldn't even get a home football game against Toledo. Thats how low they are in the real world.

          I think NMU, Tech, and LSSU need to start a Yoopers vs Trolls series of informational adds and commercials to be aired in Minnesota to better inform the Mud Ducks of just who they'll be joining in 2013.

            Seeing that they play in every other sport, Im assuming they know what they are getting into. Remember, Minnesota gets beat up by Michigan in football, and has to listen to every single dbag from Michigan every year.

              I'm talking about the schools in Minnesota that we'll actually be playing, the purple cows of Mankato and the beavers of Bemidji, who don't play against the likes of Ferris. The scary thought is that the Yoopers have more teams in the new WCHA than any other area. Imagine the amount of beer that will be needed when all three schools make it to the WCHA Championship weekend.

                The new conferences are quite interesting:

                B1G (6)
                Leaders: Penn State, Wisconsin, Ohio State
                Legends: Michigan, Michigan State, Minnesota

                NCHC: (8)
                North Dakota, Colorado College, Denver, Minnesota-Duluth, Nebraska-Omaha, St. Cloud State, Miami, Western Michigan

                WCHA: (9)
                Alaska-Anchorage, Bemidji State, Michigan Tech, Minnesota State-Mankato, Northern Michigan, Alaska-Fairbanks, Ferris State, Lake Superior State, Bowling Green

                We're still in a league with unbalanced scheduling. Two games against everyone, additional two games against another 6 teams. (UA_/UAA unbalanced?) Trying to split up the WCHA teams into an East/West//WCHA/CCHA split is awful with the odd numbers. It's going to be a mess unless Moorhead adds their program quick.

                  Would have been a lot simpler if they had just sent UAH an invite as well. Portera was probably going to cancel the program anyways, but the Chargers getting an invite would have made things look even that much worse for him.

                    Could we please, let's not get into that debate? I think the WCHA and McLeod would have reacted just the same, causing Portera to use the CCHA dissolving as a great time to fold the program.

                    Could the CCHA have saved UAH? The CCHA, under Anastos, couldn't even save itself. The existing CCHA teams were more concerned with saving themselves at that point than they were throwing a safety-ring to UAH.

                    It would be like being on a lifeboat in the mid-atlantic and thankful that the Titanic came along to rescue you...

                      I was kinda hinting more at the new look WCHA promising them an seat, but yeah, you're probably right as well. Portera just had it out for Huntsville Hockey, so he could use that money to fund Saban another coach or ballholder or something.

                          NBC Sports Net (currently Versus) released their college hockey TV schedule:
                          http://www.dailygazette.com/weblogs/...ckey-tv-sched/

                          And of course, zero future WCHA schools are highlighted. Atlantic Hockey also has zero teams represented.


                          Of note though, USCHO now has TV listed as a category in the schedule. The 'Cats will get their whole weekend in Ann Arbor on TV thanks to BigTen Network and FSN Detroit. And FSN Detroit + will be broadcasting the Saturday HOME game versus Michigan State in two weeks.

                          Would be nice to have a BIG crowd for that game.

                            Kind of disappointed the Hockey East tourney won't be on NESN. Not sure if this has been answered, but will it be the same crew that does NHL games? Or are they going to pick up other feeds? The B1G network tried that...and lets just say...Ohio State students suck at following hockey...even back hockey down in Columbus.

                              From a business perspective, there's no reason to undergo the expense of doing a production from any of the new WCHA markets. Or from the AHA schools as well. None of the names in either group are remotely close to sellable.

                                Yeah, there is really nothing to market from NBC Sports stand point in any of the "new" WCHA teams.

                                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.
