    Unreal. I have now seen it all. Dad with dough can buy anything for his kid.

        Yeah, the Coyotes are just killing it down there - certainly a hockey hotbed with tens of thousands of fans just screaming for a hockey team. Can't wait until the NCAA has to subsidize the team or the NCHC has to share their revenue with them.
        They won't end up in the Bi6 and the NCHC can have them. I have no interest in adding some mega-troplis university like that to the WCHA where their hockey team will be the 27th most popular team on their campus right behind the recently added women's sand volleyball team. Good luck to them, hope they last longer than NAU, US International and other programs in the desert SW.

          This is a bit harsh. I hope you know what you're talking about.

            They play in a rink that seats 500 (no I'm not missing a zero, five hundred). Multiply that times 10 and you MIGHT have a team that hangs around a while in that area. Paying $5 to watch a club team is not the same as paying $20-$25 to watch a D-I hockey team. How many of those fans are going to come to games at 5 times the cost just because they're suddenly playing teams they don't play in any other sports. $20+ is what they'll be charging if they don't want the team to be a drain on the university - then again, maybe they don't care, there will be another 20,000 new tuition paying students each year they can always drain fees from. Hockey survives at small schools with small budgets because at most of them hockey is the biggest sport and has all the attention.

              I listened to their press conference, and someone asked them specifically about the old Great West Conference and Northern Arizona University and US International.

              The answer was basically (and I paraphrase) "We're not going to be like them. We're being bankrolled by donors."

              Also asked was how the Coyotes have influenced this decision, and how their situation ties to ASU. "The 'Yotes have helped spark the interest in hockey by young kids. Just like how the Kings, Sharks, and Ducks all helped spark youth hockey in California. And if the Coyotes move, it won't affect ASU's program."

                That's some dad-gum high-level thinking right there. You must have got yourself one of them expensive edumacations to come up with some reasoning like that. I mean, the rest of us goobers figgered they'd go to whatever sityeation that made the least sense. Dang, you must be some kind of hockey savant, a frozen Rain Man. I dub thee "Ice Man."

                  Yeah, with the existing quality of posts in the thread (and of course knowing the existing tendencies of much of the mob participating) I figured someone ought to at least spell it out. It's of course good to see that in doing so, it engendered a brilliant response from some butthurt newb. Why you sooo mad, brah?

                      This is some surprising news. I'm going to be interested to see what conference picks them up. I'd assume it would be temporary (although that could be a decade or more) before other schools potentially start up (Pac-12). I want to see how they are able to make ends meet and how other schools are making the IX requirement. Going based off of Bill Robertson's comments over the summer about hockey expanding into the sun belt I'd say the WCHA is leader to pick up ASU. But that's just a speculative guess.

                          FS-Arizona is giving it some nice coverage between periods of Coyotes game. Hyping it pretty nicely.

                          So they're playing next year?

                          They said the 2015 academic year...

                          Dang... coming together quickly.

                              Yep. Mix of ACHA and NCAA opponents next season, 15-16 (similar to UAH's schedule a few years ago?) and full NCAA opponents in 16-17. With conference acceptance and conference play starting in 17-18.


                              I wonder how many teams tripped over themselves trying to contact ASU for non-conference scheduling in the next two years...
