        Frankly I think this is a complete joke. I'm really peeved this is coming from my team. It's embarrassing.

              Where was it written this is the reason for the proposal?

              There it is. The rest is window dressing.
              In context I think he's more saying, "Bite me" and pointing out the hypocrisy of the whining about the proposal.

              [edit]One other thing about the B1G regarding the student athlete - they have been pushing to have a mandatory redshirt year in FB for a few years. Is that because the B1G can't compete in that sport?

                  Great! Here's my current problem. The Minnesota hockey coach is acting like a creep (not the word I want to use to describe his behavior, but I'm sure you get the idea). Can you use your internet problem-solving powers and get on that for me ASAP? Maybe talk some sense into him? Appreciate it, you're the best.

                    Conference commissioners mean of those conferences which support many D1 sports. Thus conferences like the AHC, WCHA, NCHC, HEA, and ECAC (less sure on this one) do not get a vote. The conferences they belong to for all other sports (America East, Patriot League, Ivy League, MAC, etc.) do get a vote. I imagine the 22 programs (or 36.67% of all the teams in NCAA D1) are the teams which hockey is their play up sport.

                      Listening to the Gopher post game show, and Lucia was on there talking. I was in the process of turning off the broadcast when I hear Lucia say, "...and it's especially disappointing when it's some older guy..." and that's where when I had hit the switch. Morley scored SCSU's first goal of the night. Morley is a 25yo senior, so I think that's where Lucia was going with it.

                          That's the trade-off the schools made when they chose to play up in any sport: you may not get to sit at the table when the decisions are made. You want a seat you have to elevate all your athletics to D1.

                            St. Clown, you have just explained 90% of the conspiracy theory nonsense going on in this thread.
                            Lucia was talking about it being frustrating to see his veteran players making mistakes....C. Reilly wandering away from Benik leaving him open to score the GWG, and Bischoff taking the penalty to put SCSU on the PP where they scored the tying goal. The full quote was "it's especially disappointing when it's some of the older guys making those mistakes." He was talking about the veteran guys on his own team.

                            I get that it's always nice to have a villain, and the Big10 has done plenty oblige. There is enough wrong with the way this proposal is being introduced to have everyone more than a little upset. But the illogical and irrational conclusions so many are jumping to is just ridiculous.

                            This proposal is going to do something, anything, 1 iota, to bring more 18yos into college hockey?
                            The team that has won more games than anyone else over the past 4 seasons is changing the rules because they are fed up with losing?
                            Multiple schools are going to drop their programs if this proposal takes effect?
                            Somehow all of the Big 10 relies on blue-chip true-freshman when Ohio St. has more players who would be affected by this than Tech, or Union, or Quinnipiac, or Providence, or Yale, or Duluth, or St. Cloud (or any number of other programs)?

                            This proposal would hit some schools very hard. Some meaning a handful. And they are pretty much all Atlantic Hockey and mid-bottom tier WCHA teams. Or put another way, teams that aren't going to really be competing for NCAA Tournament births (let alone FF appearances or National Titles) regardless. I'm all on board with saying these are teams that don't need to be kicked while they are down, but extrapolating that this is going to give the Big 10 some sort of significant advantage is pure fantasy.

                            I'll say it again. This proposal is the result of zealotry, not underhanded gamesmanship.

                              I call BS on that. A school like Michigan Tech was playing "D1" hockey long before there were any rules and to say that they should just become D1 in everything if they want a seat at the table is BS. Hockey is unique and there is nothing wrong with it being different. The Big Twn shouldn't get a special advantage in changing the rule of a sport that is so heavily setup with play-ups.

                                Accuracy, not understanding is the issue. That was very clear in my post.
