Re: Rumor Alert out west
Back in the late 1970s, Don Canham, Michigan's AD, floated an idea to merge the WCHA and the fairly new CCHA. UM was tired of the travel costs associated with much of the WCHA by then. He enlisted the aid of the Notre Dame AD Moose Krause. He knew Notre Dame was having series issues with costs associated with their hockey program, much of it stemming from a pressing need to make changes to comply with TITLE IX. Notre Dame had only become co-ed a couple of years earlier. Notre Dame was somewhat responsive to the idea, but most of the schools in the WCHA were not. This is what led eventually to Michigan and Notre Dame (and they were soon followed by Michigan Tech and Michigan State) to the CCHA. Notre Dame and Michigan announced the move to the CCHA in May of 1980, and Tech and MSU followed suit a month later. Moose Krause was all for the move, as he was counting beans as much as anything, but Irish Hockey coach Lefty Smith was against the idea, derisively referring to the CCHA as a "bus league." Canham famously dissed the WCHA in his remarks, noting that by playing Ohio State, Yost would be filled, whereas they couldn't draw flies playing Denver.
