Notre Dame leaves Hockey East for Big 10

Re: Notre Dame leaves Hockey East for Big 10

Well, considering that the athletes playing in the games are, you know, undergrads, it's absurd to overlook that aspect.

I don't think you know how the big ten works. Academics is the driver, not sports. And specifically graduate research.

You should google the CIC and read about its role in academics and athletics. It's why Chicago is still a member of the Big Ten.

So in theory could we say the Big Ten got two teams into the NCAA this year instead of one? :D

They're not thought of as undergrads, that would imply they're expected to go to class.
 
Re: Notre Dame leaves Hockey East for Big 10

In what? Don't say undergraduate because the big ten doesn't give a **** about UG. They care about research.

OK, well they rank ahead of five B1G schools in law, three in business, and seven in medicine. So once again, your argument is incorrect. Before you bring up the AAU, which I know is your next step, let me know how Nebraska is faring in that group.

UC is not a member of the Big Ten, just the CIC.

Lol.

HE exes are acting jilted.

:D


Has nothing to do with competition - which is cyclical.

It's all about the $$$$

Operating costs and potential revenue.
 
Re: Notre Dame leaves Hockey East for Big 10

From the moment they joined HE, it felt like trying to force a square peg into a round hole. I think ND will be better off in the Big Ten and I don't think HE is going to miss them much.
 
Re: Notre Dame leaves Hockey East for Big 10

Goodbye and good riddance. Never understood why (well, yes ... money), but thought it was a dumb reason. It was only made worthwhile by the constant complaints of having to come to Boston. Who would have thought?

Agreed.

Hardly. They didn't belong in Hockey East in the first place and I'm generally happy they're leaving (Lowell's 7-1-2 record against them being the only positive about their membership IMO).

Just the tone of the posts... :)


So the article says 17-18 as the season they join. Do they play HE again in 16-17?
 
Re: Notre Dame leaves Hockey East for Big 10

It's really funny that you're trying to tell a fan of an Ivy League team this.

:rolleyes:

Again, none of those are major research grant areas save for medicine. Does the school pull in more than $1 billion in research grants a year?

AAU membership is still a requirement. Nebraska was an AAU member when the process was initiated. They were kicked out when the medical school (one of the best in the nation when it comes to infectious diseases) was no longer considered part of the Lincoln campus rather than part of Omaha.



UC is not a member of the Big Ten, just the CIC.

Which is effectively the driver of big ten membership. It's called the academic big ten for a reason.
 
Re: Notre Dame leaves Hockey East for Big 10


I think RIT would jump at the chance to move to ECAC. They also have a women's team that could join the ECAC women's conference. They have facilities that I believe would be comparable to most of the ECAC.

The biggest strike against them would be they would need to rearrange travel partners.
 
Re: Notre Dame leaves Hockey East for Big 10

No doubt that QPac goes to HE, RIT to ECAC. I remember Paul Kelly right after he left College Hockey Inc say that he expected the Ivies to form their own league soon. If Ivies peel off, ECAC schools should form new league with Atlantic. Forming new league would get rid of Paul Stewart and his antics.
