The opposite has happened. We have seen two new D1 hockey schools and one who have kept their program a float. Amazing.
Would still be amazed if it all worked out for the UA_ schools, but for now it’s alright.If you want to be a BADGER, just come along with me
BRING BACK PAT RICHTER!!!
At his graduation ceremony from the U of Minnesota, my cousin got a keychain. When asked what UW gave her for graduation, my sister said, "A degree from a University that matters."
Canned music is a pathetic waste of your time.

MAC cancels football.
My list of non-UA* schools most likely to drop hockey consists of UConn, BGSU (Id say MAC schools in general, but I have a feeling Miami and WMU aren’t in too grave of a situation) and a handful of GLIAC schools.If you want to be a BADGER, just come along with me

Even with $2.5 million in payday games, BGSU football still operates on the red. BG Hockey isn't going anywhere until football is long gone.

As are some other schools. Enrollment was down every year for the last several years in many schools.. The status quo is not sustainable as things are.

The MAC relies on non-conference payday games to help offset the costs of football. They were left with 5 payday games in the entire conference after the other conferences eliminated non-conference games.

Rumor out of Oxford is the NCHC costs are killing Miami. If BG is on your list, Miami should be as well. Agree Western is in the best shape of the three MAC schools.

Originally posted by Sean Pickett View PostMiami has actually done pretty well managing costs since joining the NCHC. For their last four seasons in the CCHA (2009-13) they averaged expenses of $2.4 million, with a low of $2.17 million and a high of 2.85 million. For the first five seasons in the NCHC (2013-18) they average expenses of $2.65 million, with a low of $2.4 million and a high of $2.94 million. I haven't requested the 2019 NCAA financial report from them yet, so I don't have those numbers.

Originally posted by Sean Pickett View PostFor 2018-19 BGSU only received $1.8 million in football guarantees, while the program lost nearly $4.5 million. However, it also brought in the most ticket revenue by far, $1.4 million, the majority of the $2 million in ticket sales overall. Since football is considered by most schools as the flagship sport it is much more likely that hockey would be cut before football.

I look for more and more P5 schools to start looking away from football. They know they are on the outside looking in at profits. 1500 people watching a Tuesday night football game on ESPN isn't exactly "exposure" for the school. Schools are starting to realize making March Madness is greater exposure in one game than an entire football season played on weeknights on ESPN.
