Re: What if the Committee Decides to Makes Changes to the Tournament Design?
The football and basketball rights are separate from the hockey rights. If and when the NCAA hockey tournament games lose money you will see ESPN drop the tournament. Also, It is my understanding that the NCAA does not lose money on the men's hockey tournament, it makes money. They used to publish the profit/loss, but no longer appear to. It is also my understanding that the NCAA does not bet any money, because the official hosts have to make financial guarantees and are subject to lose money.
For those interested in average home attendance, the NCAA publishes that every year. Here is the 2013-14 attendance records. USCHO also tracks the attendanace and includes average attendance vs capacity. Here is the 2014-15 attendance records.
