Rumor Alert out west

Rumor has it the WCHA and the new league are in early talks of merging the two conferences. Both conferences are not happy with the way things have turned out and things may change in one to three years.

It's too early for the Big 10 to give up. If Minnesota has a decent second half to the season, there is still a chance of landing two teams in the dance through the automatic qualifier.
 
Re: Rumor Alert out west

If true, seems like it would almost have to be tied back to WMU and Miami travel (esp with ASU looming). Both sides have to agree and after all the drama, its hard to say why the other NCHC teams would want to scrap the whole thing two years in.
 
Re: Rumor Alert out west

Yes, congratulations to Michigan Tech. Their hockey arena now has such amazing amenities as the ability to make ice, a place for people to sit and a way to tell time. Quite impressive.

NCHC made a mistake by not inviting MTU to join the league. They have put many upgrades in the rink (ice plant,seats, clock, and box seating) and payed big dollars for a high end coach. I see that team is getting many wins these days.

Sounds nice.

If they can get a decent skating treadmill I see NC's in their future.

All I am saying is the NCHC missed the boat.

That boat was at the bottom of Lake Superior for the past 30 years. Just because it was raised back up for three months doesn't mean it won't be sinking back down to its' rightful place soon. Judging by recent games, that appears to have already begun.

According to the 2013 tax statement, for three employees they did:
Assets: $502,253
Income: $701,521
Expenses: $609,995
Liabilities: $56,486
Ruling Year: 2012
Fiscal Year Start: September 1
Fiscal Year End: August 31

This would have been just prior to the start of their inaugural season.


Here's the WCHA for the final season before the breakup: https://www.citizenaudit.org/416042580/#2013_12_EO/41-6042580_990_201306.pdf *.pdf

With the hire of their Director of Communications, the NCHC now has four full-time employees (Josh Fenton, Joe Novak, Michael Weisman and Verna Toller) and several contracted employees (Don Adam, other supervisors of officials, some video guys for post-game highlights and the Top 5 Goals/Inside NCHC Videos).

Undoubtedly, their costs went up, however their revenue also went up with the inaugural Frozen Faceoff. The following year's statement (this current fiscal year) will also include revenue from NCHC.tv and an increase in advertising on their videos and site.

Yes. We'll have to wait until next year to see how the NCHC.tv revenue/expenses helped/hurt the league. But we'll get a feel for the first year's travel costs and any revenue/expense from the CBSSN exclusivity.

Thanks for all the links pointing to revenue for all those schools. Without that we'd be here thinking you just made some convenient assertions to support your view.
