  • New Conference Idea

    Why don't we take the #8 team from the WCHA, #7, #10 & #11 from the CCHA, add an expansion team and one major marquee team from the WCHA and form a new conference. It should give those schools an easier route to the NCAA tourney.

    What??? You mean they've already done that????

    Not only that but they did it for TV, and no one watches hockey on TV.

      The conversation will go something like this:

      If you want to be a BADGER, just come along with me

      BRING BACK PAT RICHTER!!!


      At his graduation ceremony from the U of Minnesota, my cousin got a keychain. When asked what UW gave her for graduation, my sister said, "A degree from a University that matters."

        If this is true, why are there so many college hockey games on TV now, an unprecedented number, and more coming?

          Too many stations desperate for programming.

              LOL.

              Yeah, except the BIG 10 will give the sport a lot more pub (particularly if they add a couple teams, which I think is inevitable for the conference to truly survive and flourish) as will NBC and I think the ratings will improve some over the next few years.

              Whatever anybody says or thinks, it's undeniable that there are more viewing options for college hockey than ever before and the situation is getting better, not worse. That's more eyes and more exposure.

              The glass is half full, not half empty, in my book.

                    I guess those same teams could have just merged with the Atlantic Hockey Conference and had the same result. At least as far as the easier route to the tourney.

                        And the fact that networks are throwing money at college hockey should be telling you just how desperate they are for programming that people actually watch live.

                          I would like to know the demographics of fans who watch college hockey on T.V.. I suspect they comprise a desirable market. However, pay-per-view and subscription coverage of college hockey is unlikely to recruit more fans or further popularize college hockey, big ten not withstanding.

                            You have to get people to actually cover the games before you can have that.
