I bought tickets for the final five this weekend, due to the valentines day special. The price for 1 ticket was 54 instead of what, 68. but the total bill after fees and taxes was 74.50. So I paid 20 dollars in fees. Seems like an awful lot to me. I would have been better off just walking up.

It seems like an infinite loop....I wonder if anyone at the NCAA ever even considered it.

Here's the NCAA guideline
FWIW, MSU would still be first in PWR with a tie in that game, second behind North Dakota with a loss.

Relaying some discussion from the UAA thread, neither of us Alaska schools fanbases are entirely confident at the continued futures of our programs...

And no that's not a joke. Well it is but the jokes on us.
Used to be that way however in our infinite wisdom we have now decided to pay the oil companies to pump "our" oil.

And to go with the tax decreases noted above, production has sharply declined as well

We won't have to pay them as much.
I'm pretty sure the folks we send to Juneau are more than capable of dreaming up a way to pay them more.
It behooves their reelection chances.
Well in the current tax structure the sharp decline is a good thing.

Well, technically we are bursting with oil money. The Permanent Fund (the state's savings account) currently has about $52 billion in it. Politically, however, it's untouchable. We may hate the government up here but by God don't take away our annual check from the government.
And since no politician wants to talk about tapping the PF with a 10 foot pole for fear of not getting re-elected, here we are with our current budget crisis, which is likely to have a major trickle down effect on the UA system.
All of this plus the oil tax fiasco as mentioned by Seawolf Fan and Jimjamesak is a shining example of what happens when oil companies run your state legislature.

Re: WCHA 2014-15: Semi-colons make things seem important
Here is how the rest of the WCHA season is scheduled out and I broke them out by "tiers". I think it is going to be another fun ride to that last Saturday night, much like last year!
Mankato (40 points): bye, home with Tech, at Bemidji
Michigan Tech (39): bye, at Mankato, home and home with Northern Michigan
-----
Bowling Green (31): home with Northern Michigan, at Anchorage, home with Huntsville
-----
Alaska (not eligible for playoffs): bye, at Huntsville, at Anchorage
-----
Bemidji (20): home with Anchorage, at Ferris, home with Mankato
Northern Michigan (20): at Bowling Green, home with Lake State, home and home with Tech
Ferris State (18): at Huntsville, home with Bemidji, at Lake Superior State
----
Alabama-Huntsville (15): home with Ferris, home with Alaska, at Bowling Green
Lake Superior State (13): bye, at Northern Michigan, home with Ferris
Alaska-Anchorage (10): at Bemidji State, home with Bowling Green, home with Fairbanks
And here is how I get the season playing out from the "What If" Calculator over on SiouxSports:
http://siouxsports.com/hockey/whatif/index.php?confid=9
MSU-Mankato 28 44
Michigan Tech 28 44
Bowling Green 28 40
Alaska 28 30
Bemidji State 28 28
Ferris State 28 26
Northern Michigan 28 23
Alabama-Huntsville 28 19
Lake Superior 28 15
Alaska Anchorage 28 11

Re: WCHA 2014-15: Semi-colons make things seem important
Is anyone on here in the know enough to speculate on how the league is doing financially?
I think this is a real important year and the results will influence decisions made in the spring about realignment. So this is a pitch to help support the league if you can. Go to the final five, buy the TV games and let's put our money where our mouth is. We want this league to succeed it seems to me.

I doubt anyone will have a good idea until after the F5. I've heard last season was a financial dud due in part to being in Grand Rapids, but that wasn't entirely unexpected.
Re: WCHA 2014-15: Semi-colons make things seem important
The geography of the league will make attendance an issue no matter where it's located. We went to GR last year because it was a fairly easy drive to get there. Not so much so, this year. At a minimum it's a 10.5 hour drive from BG. That makes it difficult to get there for the first game on Friday unless we leave at an ungodly hour. Our schedules don't allow for many options (like getting there a day early).

Some one start proposing a Misfits week in Houghton. WE MUST ONE UP THEM.
On a serious note... That's pretty awesome!

Re: WCHA 2014-15: Semi-colons make things seem important
The WHL is asking the Washington state legislature to pass legislation exempting the league from some labor laws.
If they don't get the legislation they seek they say the teams will have to abandon the state.
Edit: may not have said that correctly.
While Washington’s four teams in the Western Hockey League are investigated for child labor practices, the state Legislature is considering a league request to exempt amateur athletes from state labor laws.
In a hearing before the Washington state Senate’s Commerce and Labor Committee Wednesday, officials from the state’s WHL teams and the league office said the Seattle Thunderbirds, Spokane Chiefs, Tri-City Americans and Everett Silvertips might have to leave or shut down if state law isn’t changed to consider amateur athletes non-employees.
The state’s Labor and Industry department has been investigating all four teams since a complaint was filed in 2013 over working conditions for their players, who range in age from 16 to 20 years old.
“If the bill is not passed, it could negatively impact our ability to operate and would force us to move or not operate in the state,” Silvertips general manager Garry Davidson told the Senate committee.
