    Maybe it's time for some California schools to join the ranks of college hockey?
    Not clear to me why ASU needs that short term deal.

      Not exactly true. That was the "public" word. Privately, ASU was not willing to pay subsidies to schools to travel to Tempe. Do Caribbean resorts pay Canadians to travel there in the winter? D1 schools typically pay D2 schools to come to their site to get beat up.

Yes, they do not have a conference title to play for, but they did make the ncaas last year and are in the mix this year. They seem to get enough teams that want to go to arizona to play (16 home games), so it is not like they are on the road constantly like huntsville was during their independent stay.
        bingo!

          Could it be because ASU was unwilling to subsidize the other teams to come to Tempe????

            I have a hard time believing that the NCHC asked ASU to pay subsidies. Especially considering I highly doubt they were asking Mankato to do the same for admittance. Ok, maybe WMU and Miami would’ve wanted subsidies...

            I actually was surprised the NCHC rejected ASU’s membership at the time but now looks like it was a prudent decision. I’m sure membership will be revisited once ASU starts building new rink.

              Given what we know about the formation of the conference and their dealings with Notre Dame, it doesn’t seem far fetched.

                Why would ASU have to pay subsidies? Flying into metro Phoenix is very reasonable. Consider Miami for example: I did an Expedia search from Cincinnati to Duluth March 5th returning March 8th. One stop in Minneapolis $355 round trip on Delta. Then checked Cincinnati to Phoenix. Same dates this time on Frontier non-stop for the exact same price ($355). I know it's a small sample size, but playing in Phoenix is reasonably priced, and a draw to almost everyone.

                  Just FYI, I’m 100% glad the NCHC told Notre Dame to pound sand and **** off to Hockey East. You alluded that NCHC wanted Notre Dame to drop their TV deal. However, in a really great series of articles from Brad Schlossman about the formation of the NCHC, Notre Dame wanted to control the league’s television deal.

                    Subsidy for a bus ride from GF to Mankato? Duluth to Mankato? I agree, probably not being they go to Omaha & Denver & Omaha & Denver likely don't pay subsidies.

                    But did NCHC really reject ASU's membership request or did ASU reject NCAA demands?

                      Agreed, that's what ASU said, why pay subsidies?
