NCAA Hockey Scheduling Disparities

Re: NCAA Hockey Scheduling Disparities

Now, I know you think you are the Most Valuable Player of Gopher Hockey, but I think you should let those with investment in and concern for hockey in the state and country outside of their own personal entertainment voice their concerns. Because the last time I checked, honest criticism hasn't ever hurt anyone.

What do you have against Steven Wilke? I've never met him.

Is it just me, or does the snippet of the post look botched? Went too far down.

October will be here before we know it. Gotta be ready to go...

Where was the concern when they formed the Big 10?
Where was UND/Denver's concern when they formed the NCHC?
Where was the CCHA's concern when Alabama Huntsville was going down the drain?

There's real world and there's fantasy.

I didn't see any other conference throw UAH a lifeline either at the time.

So, with the announcement of Michigan's schedule for '13-14- some non conference analysis:

The Wolverines are hosting 3 HEA schools: BC, BU and UML. They are also hosting MTU (2), Niagara and Ferris State.

They travel to UNH (2), UNO (2) and to RIT. They will also play in the GLI at Comerica Park against WMU and either MSU or Tech.

So... can we give them a little slack on the "Michigan doesn't travel for series" mantra?

Just curious, are those all one for one deals for the non conference series?

Another great example.

Forcing RIT into a 2-for-1 and not even playing them at their home rink? Another one-and-done for a school that hosted World Juniors games? Absolutely not.

Five bucks says Ferris doesn't get a return trip.

Do all schools that participate in the GLI split the revenue from that event equally? Sorry, not as familiar with that event. It would be nice to see Michigan make some return trips to some of the other Michigan schools.

Tech and UM are the hosts. I believe MSU may also be a host or a permanent invite. The fourth school gets compensated for its appearance.

Re: NCAA Hockey Scheduling Disparities

Well, Akron, Central Michigan and Connecticut were already tied up by the Wolverines this year, so Barry had to take what was available.


EDIT: Sorry, I should have looked ahead. You do have Miami on 2014's schedule. Wait, what? Miami of Ohio? Well, App State has proven that they can be tough (for you guys), so that should be a good test to start the season.

Oh, c'mon. You really want to go there? I don't think you want to compare Wisconsin's and Michigan's nc schedule the past decade+.The last few years have been weak, but not Fraudger weak. Got a ton of mileage out of that rivalry with UNLV. Wisconsin hasn't played two legit nc games in the same season since 2003 although this coming season has two.

Wisconsin
2013: U-Mass, Tenn Tech, ASU and BYU.
2012: Northern Iowa, Oregon St, UTEP, Utah State.
2011: UNLV, Oregon St, NIU, South Dakota
2010: UNLV, Austin Peay, ASU, San Jose State
2009: NIU, Hawaii, Fresno St, Wofford
2008: Akron, Marshall, Fresno St, Cal-Poly
2007: Wash St, NIU, UNLV, Citadel
2006: BGSU, Western Illinois, San Diego St, Buffalo
2005: BGSU, Temple, UNC, Hawaii
2004: UCF, UNLV, Arizona
2003: WV, Akron, UNLV, UNC
2002: Fresno St, UNLV, WV, NIU, Arizona

Michigan:

2013: CMU, Notre Dame, UConn, Akron
2012: Alabama, Air Force, Notre Dame, U-Mass
2011: WMU, Notre Dame, EMU, San Diego St
2010: U-Conn, Notre Dame, U-Mass, BGSU
2009: WMU, Notre Dame, EMU, Delaware St.
2008: Utah, Miami Oh, Notre Dame, Toledo
2007: Appy St, Notre Dame, Oregon, EMU
2006: Vanderbilt, Notre Dame, CMU, Ball St.
2005: NIU, Notre Dame, EMU
2004:Miami, Oh, Notre Dame, SDSU
2003: CMU, Houston, Notre Dame, Oregon
2002: Washington, WMU, Notre Dame, Utah

MSU is a permanent invite. MTU was the originator of the tourney (in cooperation with the Red Wings) and Michigan was added as a co-host later.

I don't know if RIT had their arm twisted. Didn't seem to bother Bentley two years in a row. Oh, and hold your breath while I check into that future schedule with Ferris and I'll get back to you.

Not sure what the future schedule is. I'd have to ask. I do know that the series with MTU is being reciprocated.

I think Michigan owed UNO a series back after they went to Yost for a series the first year they went to the W.
