ASU to NCHC?

Why would they? Miami Of Ohio: A Dynasty In Their Own Minds!

Are you implying Miami of Ohio isn't a hockey power house? : D

As discussed before, BGSU would love to have Miami in the CCHA. The rest of the league, not so much.

My 2 cents, if the CCHA is going to pick up a geographic outlier, I would much rather have Miami than Augustana for a whole host of reasons. (D1 operational history, financial support, school size, being in the MAC,..)

Then before you know it the Summit League starts a hockey and football conference adding schools like Augustana.

Then NCHC would lose 3 schools to the Summit hockey league and ASU would take St. Thomas' place in CCHA? Devious.......or Devil-ish?

Bottom feeder in your league and blackballed in your own state. What a life!

And how long would it take for Miami Of Ohio to start attempting to big-time the rest of the CCHA? "Don't you people know that we used to be in the NCHC? You're lucky we're gracing your league with our presence!" I think BGSU will be just fine with continuing to freeze out Miami of Ohio provided that OSU continues to give them an annual series.

My WAG, less than a season, especially if they were in the top half of the standings. "The officiating is terrible. If we had better officials, we would be leading the league." "Your fans don't travel/buy tickets. We use to have sell outs because of the NCHC fan support." "We won't go West of the Mississippi or north of the state line from December through March." "Where is our charter jet? The NCHC provided us with a charter jet for away games." "What kind of no-name towns are we playing in? In the NCHC we were in large cities every weekend." "The only reason the CCHA has any national recognition is because we were an NCHC school." ...

Bowling Green and Miami haven't scheduled a weekend series with one another since the restructuring of the new conference?

BG & Miami have played every year except the Covid season until to last year. '23-'24 will be the second year in a row they aren't scheduled to meet.

Our agreement with them expired two years ago and we’ve opted not to renew it for the foreseeable future. OSU hasn’t played them since before Rico was fired.

There's a metric ton of bad blood between Ohio State and Miami of Ohio going back to the 60's that transcends anything hockeywise. Rico blatantly running up the score during that last ccha series certainly didn't help their case though. But yeah, our policy is clearly to let them rot. It would be hilarious if we approached BG about an annual series and then right before the contract was signed said "oh, by the way, there's one little condition we have regarding your future scheduling."

ASU plays Miami, at Miami, at the end of October this fall. Could be an interesting game.

From what I have seen, Miami's on ice team isn't notable, and the ASU match-up should be good. From what I have gathered most of the bad blood is Miami thinking they are a "Public Ivy", they are a hockey power house, and everyone should feel honored to play them.
 
Being ASU is contractually obligated to the PAC12 internet/broadcasting network, yet NCHC has their own network, has anyone in NCHC heard how that part of a deal works? Might be a moot issue if PAC12 continues to fall apart though or ASU leaves it.

I'd think it would depend on the contract. Hockey isn't a PAC-12 sport and ASU is the only PAC-12 school that fields a team.

I believe in the beginning Denver had a contract and their home games were not on NCHC TV.

I would assume the only way they would care is if they aired a hockey on the PAC12 network. Other than that, if it isn't on the PAC12 network, there isn't a conflict.

It wouldn't be a surprise if there was a clause that let ASU air X number of their home hockey games live on the PAC12 network and/or play the replay at some non-peak time for content. If that were the case, I doubt there would be significant financial compensation either way. I'm sure the NCHC would be happy to have the potential to get new eyes on the games, and the PAC12 Network would like to have cheap/free content to air with minimal effort.
