        Re: New WCHA is dead

        One difference between the "new" WCHA and the NCHC:

        WCHA: Well, we tried to make it work, it's not really working, AK schools are dying anyway (which sucks), UAH will get screwed again, but that's business.
        NCHC: What? B1G gets their own conference? F that, we're making our own conference! Naw, we ain't gonna try and make the WCHA/CCHA continue. We're out.
        SCSU: We don't even wanna be part of the NCHC. They didn't ask us, eff them. Wait, they're asking now? Ok, we're in.
        Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

          And in every scenario...every school did or is doing what they thought was best for themselves.
          So your differences are nothing but semantics.

            The WCHA tried to make it work. The NCHC didn't even bother. They cut and ran. That's more than semantics.

              No it's not.
              The NCHC saw that as a voting block they were now outnumbered and when the rest decided to give the commish an extension without their knowledge...they decided they had enough.
              It's all about what it is best for the schools...loyalty be ****ed.

                Keep making excuses. With the money power of UND, SCSU, etc, the WCHA could have survived, for the most part (again, the AK schools were pretty doomed, due to other factors).

                  It's not good if the Governor gets his cuts. There is a big push to get the Legislature to overturn his veto. Not sure they have the votes to do it, but I hope they do. This governor is an idiot.

                  "According to NCAA, the (UAF) hockey team used ineligible players in every game played from the 2007-08 season to the 2010-11 season. Over that span, the wins and ties will all become losses. 4 wins and 2 ties came against rival UAA".

                  UAF is 56-86-12 vs. UAA.

                      Agreed, and the NCHC didn't even TRY to make it work, which it DID for a couple years in the WCHA. That's my beef. If the NCHC tried, and it didn't work? Ok, no harm no foul.

                          Not looking for an argument, but not all NCAA sports are in the business category. Cross Country, Golf, Track, to name a few, are not big money makers for schools, if at all. Obviously, some sports carry other sports with their revenue, and I would think hockey falls into that category in some schools. I guess schools are willing to take a loss with Xcountry (as an example, not picking on the runners), but not with hockey. Certainly, Xcountry lost revenue could be in the thousands and hockey could be in the hundreds of thousands.

                            We didn't want to try...especially after the contract extension of a guy the NCHC schools did not want.
                            Sue us.
                            The current WCHA didn't have much of a choice then...it was come together or die.
                            Again your argument is semantics.

                              LOL. Stop speaking like your school was one of the founding six.
                              Your school officials were content to sit in the new WCHA, as so much as they released statements saying such. It wasnt until the clock hit bar close that your school got cold feet, looked around the bar, grabbed Western Michigan, said "you'll do," and decided to take WMU to the Motel 6 conference.

                                My entire argument has been the schools are doing what's best for them.
                                We are no different.
                                Had we not been invited...we'd have made it work. We were...we left.
                                Sure worked out for us.
