    True. But since the NCAA D3 hockey budget is about what CBS pays for about 6 minutes of the national championship D1 basketball game, I think the NCAA can afford it.

      Do you fly into Stevens Point or to Madison and take a bus?

        Fly into Green Bay and take a very short bus ride to the CCC.

          This whine is used over and over and over again. But it doesn't matter. As NUProf always jokes, the NCAA will give us a tiny bit of money and us D3 folks better be grateful for it.

          But on a serious note, the NCAA establishes a budget. Whether you like the amount or not. And they expect each sport to stay within that budget. Now having said that, they will at times be flexible. And they have flown three teams (or more) during the course of a tournament. We'll see. IMO, it wouldn't surprise me if they put the championship weekend out west no matter how many flights it takes.

            But, I think you need to worry about beating Stevens Point first...

                Seriously though, the runway at Austin Straubel is only 1000 yards from the entrance to the CCC. Hard to beat that convenience.

                    We all know that.

                    Read my previous post.

                    You're wasting your time getting all worked up over it.

                      Then why bus? Make the players walk. They're young and healthy.

                          Unless you take a private jet, you cannot fly into Stevens Point.

                          I was there for 27/92.

                            Why would you fly into Madison when Appleton and even Green Bay are much closer? It takes 2 minutes to research these things before you post.

                              Green Bay is actually about the same as Madison surprisingly. Appleton is by far the closest.

                                For Stevens Point you fly to Central Wisconsin Airport is in Mosinee. That’s about 29 miles to KB Willett

                                And it’s where the jet picked up UWSP before stopping in GB to get SNC on the way to Lewiston ME, if I remember correctly.

                                And BILP - CWA has commercial service to MSP, ORD and DTW
