    I only see ASU joining the NCHC depressing attendance more. Or do a lot of ASU graduates move to Grand Forks, Duluth, St. Cloud, Kalamazoo, Oxford, Omaha, Colorado Springs or Denver?

      If it occurs, risk of ASU becoming a perennial doormat.

        but feel free to step up yourself---the WCHA already has.

              If ASU does join, and I'd hate to say it but UAA & UA_ should consider joining nacho as well. We appear safe for 16/17 but unless oil picks up or a new source of major income pops up (looking at you legislators), the future is uncertain at best. And just thinking, a trip to Arizona, ND, Colorado seems better and cheaper then Minnesota, Wisconsin, Ohio, etc. The WCHA has been our home, but we both might be better off separating for the future of our programs/conferences.
              Just to be clear. My disinterest in this team became of the Uni's disinterest. Without the success of the hockey team, the other teams would not be where they are. Way to pay back the hockey team. **** UAA.

                The NCHC would never accept both Alaskas.

                    Not that we would or wouldn't, should or shouldn't. But we don't need to travel. We are arguably the most important hockey school (due to an enormous following) in the most important conference in D1 hockey. We have options. Its just reality. Notice I did not say best.

                    I like seeing ASU join NCHC if it happens. I still think they're at risk of being a bottom dweller even to the potential detriment of other programs investigating the addition of hockey.

                          I have it from a good source that ASU was invited to joint the B1G but declined, saying they would rather be a doormat in the NCHC than a perennial contender in the B1G.

                          That kind of self respect is rare.

                            Correct. The whole point of the NCHC was to not travel to Anchorage (or Houghton). And that was when oil money was flush in Alaska.

                              Kind of like the Women's national championship game REPLAY broadcast had better ratings than the Men's national championship game?
