But it really is such a crapshoot as to who people pick top 3, etc. There has been such little overlap between these teams in NC.
I heard there was 2 games in Madison for 2014-15 or 2015-16 but that's all I've heard. I know the near future is full with other series including Michigan, Michigan State, Minnesota-Duluth. I doubt Wisconsin will ever agree to even that arrangement in this day and age. Wisconsin has "better" teams to trade "1for1s" with than a couple of UP schools. There is talk of continuing to play North Dakota, Wisconsin but other than a 2 for 1s with Michigan and Mich State and a 1 for 1 with UMD, nothing else beyond 2013-14 is set in stone for MTU.
Agreed. Only schedule 1 for 1 arrangements.
Those aren't exactly 1 for 1's. Money wise, yeah they are, but you still don't get a game in your home building.
I think the benefit for Wisconsin is to try to engage fans in NE Wisconsin by trying to bring games to that audience every now and then. And if Barry can accomplish that with "away" games, he'll like it all the better.
I still don't see Barry agreeing to do something like that, MTU and NMU aren't big enough in the new world to garner 1 for 1s, even if the UW road games are in Green Bay. I wouldn't complain about doing something like this if MTU limited their other deals so they still got their average of 17 games in Houghton a season.
