Re: Michigan Tech Off-season Revised - Onward and Upward
Go look at our road/home splits over the last 18 seasons and ask me how much pity I have for you. It stinks! This much is true. But the fact is that the big schools don't have much incentive to do 2-for-1s with small schools. Win and you don't do much for your RPI; lose and you're hurting. Yes, it's lower home revenue for Mugwump State Technical College than Boston University, but you have your season ticket base to carry you through the games against MSTC.
The only way that something like this works is a contractual agreement within conferences or across them (say, WCHA-AHC-ECAC) that says, "Sign a 2-for-1 or more than N money dates and you're fined $X." That said, that won't fly with everyone. UAH has traditionally used money dates to defray the costs of the program — going to NoDak for "their Stanley Cup Game 7" is pretty lucrative.
