Yet they have the most clout when it comes to legislation affecting college hockey.

That they do, like it or not. And it's not hockey that drives it. It's the other sports the conference is involved in. Hockey is the tagalong sibling.

PS: I'm anti-B1G Mistake hockey.

"The Fabled Big Ten Hockey Conference"?? Fabled is not one of the adjectives that comes to mind when thinking about Big 10 hockey.

Re: Article on advantages Big 10 Hockey has over other schools.

Five out of the seven teams including Notre Dame that are members of the Big Ten hockey conference have been division one hockey programs since 1947, the year the league was officially formed. Ohio State joined in 1963, Penn State in 2012. The teams, other than Penn State, are not new to division one college hockey. A power conference, one that has distinct advantages over all other conferences, is a new reality that hockey fans will have to grow to accept.

Wait a minute. Notre Dame definitely did not have a D-I team yet when I started college in 1964-65. Wisconsin's program was quite new and independent at the time. That makes it three.

Notre Dame also gave up on hockey for a year or two in the early 1980's.

That article seems to mirror the B1G hockey conference nicely. A lot of arrogance and bluster, not much content.

Re: Article on advantages Big 10 Hockey has over other schools.

I'm confused as to the point of that article. Was there something newsworthy in that article? Or was it just a fluff piece meant to try to prove the "dominance" of the the B10.

But 6(7?) FBS schools can control the agenda at NCAA meetings. They get more in the B1G and the B1G will be the USSR to the rest of the hockey playing communities Finland (with the playups playing the role of Andorra).

"The Big Ten has over a half-dozen teams poised* to add hockey within the next twenty years..."
Which is why the first team to be added was... whoops, a team not in the BigTen.

* BigTen definition of "poised" = "I really wish we could add a hockey team too..."

The measuring contest is easier to win in the B1G locker room.
