Re: The New WCHA, 2014 Offseason: See-ya, Bruce
If the WCHA won't show interest due to the regional nature of the network, at least MTU, NMU, LSSU, and FSU ought to be looking to strike a deal of their own.
The Griffins are clearly the anchor team for the network, and given their recent success and affiliation with the Wings, that should give them a modest built-in audience for 6-8 months out of the year at least. With the increasing bombardment of TV advertising now, I think that seems to offset the costs of running a minor network - why else would there be hundreds of these regional channels now?
