Notre Dame leaves Hockey East for Big 10

You can't put both Alaska schools and ASU in the same conference. The pain has to be shared at least a little but.

Why? The NCHC was formed for the very reason of preserving the specific schools that joined the conference from the word Go with the B16 Mistake's creation. Courting Mankato State over ASU would fit inline with that business model to the T.

I get it. It totally makes sense for NCHC, which is why I don't like it.

He's not wrong on his key points, though. Football may very well have determined that more schools come in, but who those schools were and whether they'd meet the CIC's requirements don't come down to sports.

Otherwise I'm not sure how you explain that Rutgers and Maryland were the best choices to bring in the last go around, as between the two of them they add (at most) some basketball clout.

Maryland and Rutgers were brought in specifically and ONLY so that the BTN can charge in market rates for NYC, Baltimore, and DC metro areas.
Purely for money, no other competitive reason

End of story...follow the money

Maryland and Rutgers gave the Big Ten Network new markets in the tri-state New York area and along Baltimore-Washington, D.C. beltway. We are talking about a massive volume of TV sets in the East Coast corridor and a windfall for BTN and the Big Ten. Moreover, Rutgers raised BTN’s profile in New York on cable providers such as Cablevision, Comcast and Time Warner Cable.

In addition, the expanded conference footprint in the East Coast corridor led to increased subscriber fees raising more revenue for the network. With the number one and number seven TV markets in tow, Big Ten Network was able to charge more in advertising rates (:30 sec/$4-5000 similar to ESPN and SEC network) and brought in marketers that buy time on the net throughout the year like State Farm, Buffalo Wild Wings, Dr. Pepper, T-Mobile, Microsoft, etc.

Can't disagree with you...follow the $$,$$$,$$$.;)

The BTN makes some $30 million annually per school. That's cute.

Rutgers alone generates over a half billion (with a B) in research grants a year.

So yeah... follow the money.

That will most likely increase to 40M per school after contract negotiations after the 2016-17 basketball season.

Ummm
They were getting that 1/2 billion anyhows, yes?

The $20mm is new.

If you can't tell how having access to a half billion dollar institution might increase resources for the other members (even if that half billion figure is fairly commonplace amongst CIC members), or allow for Rutgers to partner with other CIC members for other grants, then I don't know what to tell you.

good riddance. To the surprise on no one even though we were just recently assured by the coach himself that all is good and HE is a great fit for ND, LOL. As far as the NBC deal? Bye Bye as well. Now we can get back all the games that NESN used to carry

There is very little peer reviewed grant funding done under any partnership agreement. Why the focus on CIC? The AAU metrics are the most important aspect of maintaining academic status in the Big Ten.
 
Re: Notre Dame leaves Hockey East for Big 10

WOW, didn't see this coming, but it makes sense for ND and B10.
I doubt HE will miss them.
Is B10 leaving that 8th spot open for ASU?

I'm curious what makes HC a better fit for ECAC than RIT?
Click to expand...

RIT ticks all the boxes: arena, culturally/philosophically, rabid students, Liberty League, etc
HC has advantages of geography and perhaps snob appeal


From RIT perspective however it would be no more NCAA tourney w/ an anemic Pairwise

this.

i'm not sure what i'll miss most about ND:
the constant complaining, whether it be about travel, officiating, scheduling, whatever
the sleep inducing brand of hockey Jackson teaches
their goalie constantly kicking the net off

jcarter nails it. keep it at 11, lose the octo round

So can you tell us why, if the grant money is so important, why weren't they made CIC members before joining the athletic conference?

Oh, sure, they're going to just "shareies" the money. Like there's a God given specific big10 slush pool enshrined by congress.
