      So next year you would have 18 for the years 2017 - 20. If my grandson want to commit to the class of 2035, he can and he'll count in any 4 year cohort that contains 2031 in the arrival year.

        No. Throwing stones is fun. Especially since the B10 ineptitude makes it so easy.

            Ahhhh, but this assumes hockey needed growth at the collegiate level. I think college hockey has a strong and faithful following in those markets where hockey is part of the local culture. Forcing it into markets for the sake of "growing" does nothing for the sport, and only serves to dilute the talent.

            I agree with you that the BI6 is here to stay and we'll have to get used to it. They're too arrogant to admit it was a mistake. But, it doesn't mean I have to drink the Kool Aid and accept it as a good idea.

              You would have to give SCSU a bit of a pass. Honestly, they didn't want any part of the NCHC... until the conference ran out of teams who wanted to join and then SCSU's invite arrived.

                        Excellent. They said they want more discussion but they should just drop it and admit defeat!

                          I wonder why they decided to drop it. I'd guess that they upset many coaches when they decided to not have it go through the annual NCAA coaches meeting.

                            I think that the only realistic answer is "they didn't have the votes to get it passed". Wanting "more discussion" means that they want to change hearts and minds, and ... well, I expect that's a tough sell.

                                I can't wait until the press release comes out proudly stating that the Bi6(7) pulled the proposal because they felt doing so was in the best interest of college and really that is what the Bi6(7) are all about...
                                They might be the Bi6(7) but I guess they were not big enough to stand up and watch their proposal get shot down. That's the chicken way out, but whatever, at least it is dead (for now).
