    On a more serious note, as much as I'd like to see us in the NCHC, playing SCSU, UMD, NoDak, and UNO on a regular basis, I don't really see what's in it for the NCHC. They've won 4 straight national championships, they have a national TV contract, the 2017 Hobey winner, etc., etc. Why change anything?

      this is silly. they all needed each other. it doesn't work any other way. BG was gonna go form a new CCHA with 5 teams? bzzzt. Mankato and Bemidji were gonna hang out in the WCHA with the other 3 leftovers? bzzzt. Pretty absurd idea that BG was holding anyone hostage.

        Do you have any idea of the dynamics of college athletics? Having a vote on issues like recruiting rules and player eligibility is a BFD. If your one voice at the table goes “this is BS, we want out” you’re just gonna go “k bye”?

            Looks like the Not So Good Sam Seven had no problem pulling their own Gwozdecki and started a conference without him.

            Still failing to see what he can bring to the table before the CCHA fires his a** five months before they start playing hockey.

              The MAC gets one vote in “important NCAA rule changes.” There are three MAC hockey schools, two of which are in the NCHC. You grossly overestimate the power of our all D1 status.

                You are in the middle of the NCHC geographic footprint while Miami is an outlier. You will vastly outdraw Miami in Frozen Faceoff fan attendance. You greatly improve the league pairwise over Miami thereby improving odds of another team getting in to the NCAAs. Those are off the top of my head.

                  One vote is still infinitely more valuable than no vote.

                      It’s wonderful how naive most of you are.

                      Not the first time around here.

                        I’ll take “Naive vs. Uneducated” for $200, Alex.

                        Edit: OK, I went overboard. I should have said "I'll take 'Naive vs. Won't Listen Because I'm P.i.s.s.e.d Off" for $200, Alex."

                          Why not Detroit? All of the Michigan schools have alumni nearby and it would work for Bowling Green, too.

                            Because the highest seeded team in the championship doesn't play their home games there.

                              Detroit was a ghost town when the Big 10 played there. But smaller schools will fill it? Let’s stick to on campus games

Only reason they didn't get in is because of ASU. ASU will need to get shovels in the ground and start construction on their new ice rink before the NCHC considers them.
                                I’m fairly certain that the the CCHA resurrection was the first domino to fall for the Mavs to get to the NCHC. I don’t think it’s imminent, but I believe it will happen, based on what I’ve jeers through the he administrative grapevine.
