Many of us have a tattoo waiting in the wings, WHEN (not IF) the Gophers are champions again.

Picking up Mankato would be a much better deal for the majority of the NCHC, both in travel costs and tournament attendance - assuming the three-league tournament never comes to pass.
          You can't put both Alaska schools and ASU in the same conference. The pain has to be shared at least a little but.

              Why? The NCHC was formed for the very reason of preserving the specific schools that joined the conference from the word Go with the B16 Mistake's creation. Courting Mankato State over ASU would fit inline with that business model to the T.

                I get it. It totally makes sense for NCHC, which is why I don't like it.

                  He's not wrong on his key points, though. Football may very well have determined that more schools come in, but who those schools were and whether they'd meet the CIC's requirements don't come down to sports.

                  Otherwise I'm not sure how you explain that Rutgers and Maryland were the best choices to bring in the last go around, as between the two of them they add (at most) some basketball clout.

                    Maryland and Rutgers were brought in specifically and ONLY so that the BTN can charge in market rates for NYC, Baltimore, and DC metro areas.
                    Purely for money, no other competitive reason

                    End of story...follow the money

                        The BTN makes some $30 million annually per school. That's cute.

                        Rutgers alone generates over a half billion (with a B) in research grants a year.

                        So yeah... follow the money.

                            Maryland and Rutgers gave the Big Ten Network new markets in the tri-state New York area and along Baltimore-Washington, D.C. beltway. We are talking about a massive volume of TV sets in the East Coast corridor and a windfall for BTN and the Big Ten. Moreover, Rutgers raised BTN’s profile in New York on cable providers such as Cablevision, Comcast and Time Warner Cable.

                            In addition, the expanded conference footprint in the East Coast corridor led to increased subscriber fees raising more revenue for the network. With the number one and number seven TV markets in tow, Big Ten Network was able to charge more in advertising rates (:30 sec/$4-5000 similar to ESPN and SEC network) and brought in marketers that buy time on the net throughout the year like State Farm, Buffalo Wild Wings, Dr. Pepper, T-Mobile, Microsoft, etc.

                            Can't disagree with you...follow the $$,$$$,$$$.

                              That will most likely increase to 40M per school after contract negotiations after the 2016-17 basketball season.

                                If you can't tell how having access to a half billion dollar institution might increase resources for the other members (even if that half billion figure is fairly commonplace amongst CIC members), or allow for Rutgers to partner with other CIC members for other grants, then I don't know what to tell you.
