What are the odds that all these realignment rumors will turn out exactly the college football realignment of a year ago?

Somehow I feel like that will happen.

But, dude! Texas will be joining the Pac Ten with its buddies! It's a done deal, the Internet said so!

Re: Realignment Rumors

At what point did Miami (before their current run of 6 NCAA appearances in the last 7 years and 2 Frozen Fours in that span, the team had just made the NCAA's twice in program history, and made it for the first time as recently as 1993 *) and Notre Dame (4 NCAA's in the last 6 years and only 1 NCAA before that, their first being in 2004 for god's sake!) become premier programs? These programs are very recent (much more recent than Maine) in their rise to prominence.


* Cue the Miami is a dynasty link...

Let's not be silly here.

They have premier money.

Congratulations on your attainment of 1 internet.

EDIT: Somehow I always suspected that tUMD winning a national championship would bring Armageddon to college hockey.

Right now they are premier programs. The 90's are over. I am not a Miami fan, I am a realist.

Miami is a nice program. Let's not lose focus of what "premier" means....

And that is exactly what we are hearing here about certain schools! It HAZ to be true!

I am very skeptical at this point.

Winning a National Championship is a nice first step.

I'm really looking forwards to Rutgers, Pitt, Syracuse and Missouri starting their first year of Big Ten football this fall.

Did you notice how I said it was a nice first step? Pssst.....This means there is more than one step.

And Jackson has two. Six Final Fours, and Five finals appearances. With him at ND (and their new facility) it's not a matter of if, but when.

So what else?... That MU and ND do not have?

Re: Realignment Rumors

You seem incredulous about charging for club hockey. It's not that shocking. I went to UIUC and I had season tickets for the club team. They were $40. But it's not weird or abnormal for club teams to charge.

Iowa State also charged when I was there. Not a lot, but they did charge.

EDIT: Somehow I always suspected that tUMD winning a national championship would bring Armageddon to college hockey.

We've got to get in a league without UMD in it! We can't compete with the Dogs any more!!!!!

They can't find out until they win a NC. It's like a secret club, you only know what your next step is.

Total cop out.

I would say that a truly premier program would, at a minimum:
1) have multiple national titles
2) be in contention for league and national titles in most years and/or over multiple decades
3) have top-notch facilities and serious money behind the program

There may be other criteria others would add. But these criteria would apply to schools like BC, BU, UND, Michigan, DU, Minnesota, and Wisconsin.

At this point in time, I would consider Miami and Notre Dame to be strong programs, but not premier.

Re: Realignment Rumors

If this was to happen; Which league would be the WCHA, new six team league or the left overs.

Wouldnt that mean the Commish of the WCHA would be leaving since he is based out of Denver?

Where would the McNaughton Cup go? What about MTU and UMD? These teams should be invited to the new league.

The teams that are left would keep the WCHA and CCHA names, as the other schools would be leaving those conferences.


The McNaughton Cup remains the property of MTU and would go where MTU goes.
