Re: Notre Dame going Independent?
Actually, they don't NEED to do anything until the CCHA imposed deadline of September 30. They are the ones that said they plan on being able to reveal their intentions at this week's meetings. So the rest of us are just sitting by hoping they actually do that.

Re: Notre Dame going Independent?
Actually Notre Dame has YET to say when they will reveal any of their plans. Anyone who said otherwise was simply speculating, and speculating incorrectly, as it turns out, according to the Kalamazoo Gazette.

Re: Notre Dame going Independent?
And here is the article from Blue and Gold Illustrated by Dan Murphy that the Gazette took their info from.
I do believe the "other reports" he mentions in this are simply all the speculating that has been done endlessly on boards like this and NDNation. I have heard nothing credible that Notre Dame has EVER intended to make all their plans known at any specific time.

Re: Notre Dame going Independent?
So they are going to go the CCHA meetings and say what? They might not say where they are going, but you think they are not going to get grilled by the other teams if they are staying?

Re: Notre Dame going Independent?
The only thing the CCHA by-laws require is to be informed by some certain date (and we've seen different days noted) of a schools intention to continue in the league, or to leave it. I'm sure everyone in the room will ask, but if Notre Dame hasn't made a decision, what can they tell them? And if they have, they still don't need to reveal it. I'm sure it all has to do with ensuring the most favorable future possible. Before they sign on the dotted line with any conference, I'm sure they'll want to know all the possibilities when it comes to scheduling, TV coverage, playoff scenarios/location, and many other things.

Correction I believe they are waiting for NBC/Versus to give them an hour long special to make the decision.

No, that would be for the almighty football team, and then it would be a 24-hour marathon.

Surprisingly enough, he at least knows ND has a hockey team (unlike the local paper) as I've seen him at a few games.So Hockey get's a 3 minute spot featuring Digger Phelps in a pink tie and a marker
Re: Notre Dame going Independent?
I realize there are no direct quotes, but this article puts a ND name to a statement about announcing their decision at the conference meetings Aug 15-16, so it seemed like more than speculation.

Re: Notre Dame going Independent?
According to this article it looks like less of a possibility. So we will see what happens

Re: Notre Dame going Independent?
Notre Dame knows their leaving, the hockey world knows their leaving and the CCHA knows their leaving...even if they want to keep telling themselves otherwise.
Frankly its kinda crappy for ND to just delay a departure announcement with the only outcome of frustrating CCHA in moving on and try to reorg.

Re: Notre Dame going Independent?
You are contradicting yourself. If the CCHA and the rest of the world knows Notre Dame is leaving anyway, how is it crappy for Notre Dame to be approaching this the way they are approaching it? Everybody already knows, right? My guess is if it was Miami that was holding the college hockey world hostage with an impending announcement, you wouldn't be posting about their "crappy" behavior on an internet message board.
This is the one thing about Notre Dame's emergence as a good hockey program I can do without, the needless and jealousy fueled hand-wringing over anything they do that could possibly be construed as arrogant. For the record, I have posted that I wish they'd just go ahead and make an announcement for just this reason, but then I am a fan of the program. And why is it that Notre Dame is the only school that should act in the best interests of all that is "college hockey" instead of acting first in its own best interests? If it weren't for the knee-jerk behavior of about a dozen other teams in the recent months, none of this would be happening. Because they all acted impulsively and in their own interests first means Notre Dame has to act impulsively now for the betterment of the rest of the sport?

A dozen teams?
It seems 2 teams and a rich guy caused most of the chaos the College Hockey world is now in.

Re: Notre Dame going Independent?
6 Big Ten teams and 6 NCHC teams. Seems like it took all those teams to go along. 6 plus 6 equals a dozen.

Re: Notre Dame going Independent?
What's debatable? the 2 FF in the last 4 seasons, or the 4 NCAA appearances in the last 5, or as many or more wins as just about anyone since 2005, or the fact one of the giants of the college game is at the helm behind the bench, or the the brand new $50 million dollar home...? I wasn't aware that weak programs generally accomplished any of those things. the IQ of this board gets lower and lower every year. I think Puck Swami had the right idea...
