It's Time for College Hockey to Leave the NCAA

I'm more interested in examples of your theory. Name us a sport that has broken off from the NCAA and been successful as a collegiate sport, please.

Any recreational program run by a university. All the MCLA lacrosse - http://www.collegelax.us/. The new top-tier college football program a la Mark Cuban, i.e. new college bowl subdivision (still in discussion phase but don't blink - it might happen real soon).

College Rugby. It's run by USA Rugby, the national governing body for Rugby.

Would be interesting to know what insurance covers non-NCAA athletes in the event of a catastrophic injury. NCAA athletes have $10 million in coverage as long as the injury occurs in a "sanctioned" practice or NCAA game.

On another note men do not receive scholarships in collegiate sailing but women get them. Some Rugby schools offer scholarships.

Heh. So, the plan is to continue to recruit in a world that includes Canadian Junior hockey in a system where scholarships don't exist, and in fact would require past, current, and future players to fund their own program?

Tell you what, you go first. The rest of us will be right behind you.

I just realized how brilliant this would be from my perspective. If this goes through, my kid would be able to play college hockey! He'll be a first year bantam this year and a reach to make a B2 team. By the time he hits college he can play for the club team. All the good players will be in MJ.:D

Yes, you have already told us that once already in this thread. That isn't what this is about. It has to do with your idiotic topic, jackwagon. Unless you have better reasoning for your argument than that the Gophers suck, you may want to think twice before starting threads.

p.s. Not sure what from my post made you think I am a "suewannabe". Just because sue fans are obsessed with the Gophers doesn't mean the opposite is true.

And yet, NCAA lax is still considered the better of the two, just like NCAA hockey is preferred to ACHA programs.

Wait- you don't have a club hockey team? I thought everybody did. Heck, even UM has one at the Dearborn campus.

Maybe you can talk Eastern Michigan's club team to call themselves the Hurons.

wrong, dumb ***. if you think it is that easy to avoid a libtard idea like title IX, you are sadly mistaken. title IX has nothing to do with the ncaa, it is the federal government.

Sweet. Maybe The Fighting Sioux can secede from the union at the same time they secede from the NCAA?

My analysis tells me the NCAA provides no value to college hockey.

Maybe you should reanalyze, then... :rolleyes: ...while the NCAA is far from perfect, it does provide more than a 16 team tourney. Also, expand on your analysis...I would love to see how you came to this conclusion. Anything supporting your stance would have to be comical at best.

If this is about a feeble attempt to retain "Fighting Sioux", I must say that wrecking havoc on the sport as a whole to fulfill some ill-fated agenda is just plain ignorant. The sport as a whole is way more important than anyone's nickname.

Wrong. A school can remain a member of the NCAA in some sports but not in others. If you have an example of your theory being played out in reality, please provide it.
