Did not bother NU in the least. We'll travel 50 miles down I-89 for that one.

Well don't forget there is always the possibility of a return trip in 2012

Good for NU but Laker hockey is a cash cow for Oswego State (it's only one as far as sports are concerned) and the idea of them trading 3,000 fannies in their seats for a trip down to Cornell or up to Clarkson is probably not all that appealing. If one of those teams was willing to compensate them for the effort then I am sure they would consider it.

Think of it as a "recruiting trip"

While playing a D-I might seem bad revenue wise, as Derek mentioned there could be a return trip. Playing a team like Colgate, Clarkson, St. Lawrence, or less likely, Cornell would be great for both teams if they can get a home-home agreement. What D-I coach wouldn't want his kids to start the season by playing an exhibition in a hostile environment that will get the newer guys used to opposing crowds? Book them for Family and Friends Weekend or whatever they're calling it this week. Usually that's the only game besides Plattsburgh that you're guaranteed a complete sellout. I'm sure playing a D-3 in a nice sized rink before the season starts would be a good way to introduce players into college hockey for both teams.

There also wasnt the same restrictions on games and the NCAA tournament was picked differently back then.

Another reason why Oswego playing a D1 team is unlikely. What D1 team would want to play then in October and loose half their team to them in January?
I like the idea of Oswego playing a D1 team in an exhibition, I just don't think the possibility of a return trip is strong enough for the brass to seriously consider it. Mo' Ville has played Princeton two years in a row, both in New Jersey and I don't really see them going to the Cow Palace for a game any time soon. While the Campus Center is a million times better, I can't see many ECAC teams coming in for a game. I could see a team like Niagara doing a return trip but, with Elmira being the usual second and third game of the season they wouldn't exactly be a big step up from your next opponent.
