    I'm not sure what you expect? I understand the frustration, but Michigan Tech and the rest need to worry about their own well being. If they can't sustain in the current situation, there is no reason to stay. UAH and UAA have consistently been bottom ten in PWR. Playing those teams at least 6 times a year does nothing but hurt the chances of multiple WCHA teams making the tournament. You've heard Joe talk about recruiting struggles in the current situation, losing players to better leagues. This should help that situation, not to mention other aspects of all of this.
    I understand the problem, but I think there has to be a better solution than going off and in the middle of the night stabbing these other programs in the back.
    Second, FSU and LSSU to a lesser extent, HAVE to spend more money or we will still struggle to get all those things you discuss going forward.. We in the UP need those teams to be in existence and we need them to be committed to success. No one wants to travel to Houghton or Marquette and the Soo isn't much better. The Minnesota teams don't want to and neither does The lower Michigan teams.
    I don't have a magic wand, but FSU, in particular, has to step up. Also, Lawson arena is just as bad as FSU.

      That's why I love it when B1G and NCHC fans pop into these threads to inform us we're scum for leaving UA_, UAA, and UAH behind, when they did the exact same thing.

        I like what LSSU is doing trying to reach out to the larger Canadian Soo. I hope that has dividends going forward.

          I haven't seen any of that. It's more of a "Welcome to the club, Tech fans! Here's soap to wash the blood off your hands."

              Tech would love to play UND on a semi-regular basis. Unfortunately, UND will only do it in That Godforsaken town in North Dakota. No return trip. Well no return trip, no games.

                I'd love that too. Other than Anchorage, Houghton was the one road trip I didn't get to go to in the WCHA. It wasn't too long ago that Brad Berry mentioned in a article how he'd like for UND to make a trip to Houghton for a series. I forgot who it was here but someone mentioned that UND was asking for 2 for 1 deal? If so, quite disappointing to be stuck on that as well as asking for that. UND did a 1 for 1 with Canisius for cripes sake!

                  Really?
                  Tell Bemidji State.
                  Tell Canisius (went to Buffalo first!).
                  Tell Mankato State.
                  Tell Minnesota (played in Vegas and MSP).
                  Tell UAA.
                  Tell Wisconsin.

                  That's since the start of the 2017-18 season.

                  Tell your MTU friends to get in line to try to get the 2022 UND destination game. Sounds like Las Vegas again.

                      Apparently all of those are more attractive than Houghton. you tell me. I think we've been in line for some time.

                          This. The schools that on one hand complain how they’re “not competitive” and “not financially committed” while on the other have forced UAA and UAF to pay hundreds of thousands (millions potentially) in travel costs.

                          Gee, I wonder how different things would be if UAA and UAF could’ve used that money to invest in infrastructure?

                            I believe the problem was money (I hope nobody is surprised): Would UND get a cut of BTN revenues? What about UND's regional television deal with Midco Sports Network? How about gates?

                            Then toss in that B1G elitist attitude: North Dakota? Puh-leese. What do they have*?

                                They'd have top notch facilities to play each other 26 times a year? Most teams would need to book the 2 extra games at home, and sell them out, in order to break even on the trip to ONE Alaska school.
