    It's time to stop giving Minnesota the advantage too. Or more importantly, penalizing other teams for not being Minnesota.

    I guarantee if a big rivalry like Wisconsin vs. Minnesota or UND vs. UAA will fill the building.

      This is the reality. EVERYONE in the WCHA benefits financially from the Gophers playing the prime time game.

        Not just tickets. TV/radio revenue. You have to think about the big picture.

          Don't they announce the NCAA tourney field on the Sunday after the F5 concludes? I don't think you could have the champ game on Sunday if they've already announced the field.

            More money means better players which equals NCAA championships.

              Absolutely. I couldn't agree more.

              The announcement is at 10:30 AM CT on ESPN2, if I am not mistaken. Judging by that time slot and the audience, I think they could probably delay the seedings until the F5 was over without losing too much sleep

                Not really, because then it might take up a slot on ESPN that pre-empts a rerun of "World's Strongest Man" or "WSoP 2008."

                    Re: Future WCHA Final 5 in a 12 team league

                    Here's an idea, I am saying an G1, etc but it also could be some sort of series and would probably make more sense as a series with 2 games and a mini-game first to 3 points.

                    G1: 9 vs. 12
                    G2: 10 vs. 11

                    These probably should be series maybe again the two games plus mini-game

                    G3: WG1 vs. 1
                    G4: WG2 vs. 2
                    G5: 3 vs. 8
                    G6: 4 vs. 7
                    G7: 5 vs. 6

                    Take the five winners of games 3-7 and put them into the Final Five. Reseeding would be a viable option. However thinking logically the chances of either of the top 2 teams losing series before final 5 is unlikely. And I would say that with 12 teams even the number 3 team losing the series is unlikely. So maybe the 7th place regular season team is the 4 seed against the 5th or 6th team not a big deal as no real advantage is gained. So it would look like this at the final 5.

                    G8: W6 vs. W7
                    G9: W4 vs. W5
                    G10: W8 vs. W3
                    G11: L9 vs. Loser 10
                    G12: W9 vs. W10

                    With this many games (many if series is used for first two rounds) this late in the season versus good teams the WCHA could increase WCHA's #of NCAA tourney teams some years.

                          I don't want to benefit financially by those dooshes getting the night game regardless of seeding. How about they just...ya know...be fair.

                            Fair?

                            Life isn't fair.

                            Since, you obviously have a problem why don't you write to Doug and express your problems with the WCHA not being fair. If the WCHA had a problem with being fair don't you think they would have changed the problem years ago?

                              You might not want to see the financial benefit, but I bet your school would like to.

                                Of course they don't have a problem with it. Who said they did? I said I have a problem with it. And life isn't fair because you have fingers and are able to use a keyboard.
