Originally posted by aparch View PostIt started with a 2-for-1(ish) where the 'Cats were invited to the Badger Holiday Tourney in 2005-06, hosted the Badgers in Green Bay in 2006-07, and then went to Madison in 2008-09. Then starting in 2011-12, the 'Cats and Badgers agreed to 1-for-1(ish) for at least six years.
The reason the Badgers don't go to Marquette is that the Green Bay games are technically home games for NMU. They have a very friendly arrangement with the Resch Center where the extra capacity of the Resch Center allows NMU to pocket more than they would if the Badgers came to Marquette.
Also, the Alumni office for NMU uses the Green Bay games as outreach for area alumni and other University marketing purposes. Similar to why the NMU Alumni Association had such a large presence at the CCHA Tournament every year.
TL;DR - It's actually a better arrangement than hosting the Badgers in MQT.

Originally posted by davyd83 View PostThe big name schools not playing at the small schools unless it's 2 for 1 has hurt the small schools a lot. Lake Superior has or will have made at least 3 trips in recent years to South Bend or the Irish holiday tournament yet Notre Dame refuses to go to the Soo. Minnesota goes to Duluth, St Cloud, Bemidji & Mankato once every four years instead of every year. Wisconsin has been the only one of the big ten colleges to give the smaller schools a fair shake. Now, the formation of the NCHC made things worse. Western Michigan or Miami had many rivals within a half day's drive and fans had it much easier going to road games.

PS Really dislike the whole "paid" attendance vs. actual attendance discrepancy.

2013 WCHA F5 Thursday afternoon game:
Wisconsin vs. Mankato at 2:07pm -- 15,971
2012 WCHA F5 Thursday afternoon game:
Denver vs. Michigan Tech at 2:07pm -- 11,489
2011 WCHA F5 Thursday afternoon game:
Minnesota-Duluth vs. Bemidji State at 3:37pm -- 13,131
I'd say that's pretty decent numbers for afternoon games on a Thursday.
