From here on out if we lose any programs can we all blame UND and DU?

Re: The new Super League is going down the tubes.
IMO, you can't blame PSU but the other three I am on the fence.
Maybe Tech fans could start some new anti- DU and UND chants just so they know how we feel? ;P

Yeah, but they'll never forget you weren't a "Charter Member". Ask Maine and Lowell fans about it sometime.

PSU demanded the Big 10 charter immediately. Of course they were going to because it makes sense for them. But the other 5 schools and the rest of the Big 10 could have said no and they could have joined a conference that would have had 4 of the 6 without issue.
No fence sitting for me. I knew what this crap would do. What I find funny is that its happening in football at the same time.

Re: The new Super League is going down the tubes.
I might be wrong but I don't believe the Big Ten had a choice. If they have at least 6 schools playing a sport they always merge and play together. IMO, everybody but PSU created this mess.

Um. No. They had a choice. 6 Schools is required for a Big 10 Conference but nothing says that they have to form one.

Re: The new Super League is going down the tubes.
I stand corrected. Correct me if I am wrong but I don't believe the Big Ten has ever not formed a conference when they have 6 membership schools playing the same sport. In fact I don't think it has ever happened in 100 plus years of the conference.

Re: The new Super League is going down the tubes.
I believe you are correct there. And Penn State was going to want this no matter what. It was up to the other schools to decide the ultimate decision. I still find it fascinating that a TV Network was probably the deciding factor. No one watches hockey on TV.

Re: The new Super League is going down the tubes.
I hear ya. IMO, the BTN may be to blame in all this. The schools will have a huge advantage over every hockey playing school in the country and that is why I laugh at this new league. The new league could have been avoided and it is a shame they killed college hockey. Sad day.

Re: The new Super League is going down the tubes.
You two could make a "never post on USCHO again" pact.
We're not no one, just like a .0002 share of the market.

Sure. You know what I mean though. There's no ratings. They get higher ratings for poker on ESPN then they do for hockey.

Statistically speaking, yes.

Seems to me if anybody got stabbed it was the CCHA. I haven't heard of any WCHA teams that are being forced to make a move. You'll just be traveling to different cities. Sorry if I don't have a lot of sympathy.
Why does this have to be about arrogance, or big national TV contracts (show me one press release where anybody from the NCHC expects this - certainly nobody in Colorado Springs expects it)?? You do what's best for your program, we'll do what's best for ours.
If you are worried about the greater good, call your state legislature, let them cut a check. It's not our job to subsidize hockey in Houghton, Bemidji, and Anchorage. We all want to see the game succeed, but not at our expense. And again, sorry if I am not entirely sympathetic to your supposed plight. It's just not as fun to watch the Mankatos of the world. Don't deny it, you'd rather watch DU than Mankato any day of the week. Let's cut through the BS, you guys are just a tad jealous that your programs aren't viewed as highly as some others. Deal with it.
I'd rather watch SEC football than the Mountain West, too. And it doesn't bother me a bit that the system is unfair (shedding a tear) to Wyoming.
Let's take a poll - if you were SCSU's athletic director, who here among you would reject the NCHC and stay in the WCHA now? Anybody?

Re: The new Super League is going down the tubes.
That's not the question. The question is: If you were the AD at Denver in April, would you have tried to form a new conference without half of the remaining WCHA teams, or would you consider that the WCHA would still be strong without Minnesota or Wisconsin (which of them made the Final Five this year?) and worked to make an already strong conference even stronger?

Re: The new Super League is going down the tubes.
Thank you. I just want to know the reasons for wanting this and all I've ever gotten from my sources is big egos, arrogance and stupidity. As for bbutzin. Please oh please tell me how Denver of all teams was subsidizing Michigan Tech and Mankato? I don't remember seeing hundreds of Denver's fans at the Final Five.

Re: The new Super League is going down the tubes.
They wanted to dump McLeod, period. DU and UND were all in on that, and others schools just wouldn't push thier chips into the middle of the table to force him out, though under the table they weren't against it. Then DU and UND said, it you can't dump him, leave him, and the little 6 was formed. I don't know how many votes they had against him, or if they had enough to fire him.
