    I don't see any way this brings in revenue. I assume MN will actually lose money.

    The reason for the talent in the west? Because MN didn't rely on Canada.

      Well, I suppose it won't be as big of a boost as it to the other 4 existing programs. But I doubt that it will go down in the long run, anyways.

          Unless I misunderstand the BTN,

          Mn pay from BTN will stay the same. Games will be in HD.
          MN pay from tickets will stay the same. Unless they get more home games?
          MN pay from other TV will go down.

            Which means they will likely follow Michigan's lead and rarely stray from home for NC games.

              Currently, they have 14 WCHA home games and as many as six nonconference home games.

              In the B1G, they'll have 10 B1G home games and as many as fourteen nonconference home games. My guess is they'll want to have at least ten of those fourteen at home to match the maximum number of home games they get currently.

                That is what it looks like. The days of seeing the elite hockey programs will be almost over. I really don't believe the Gophers will schedule the best of the best because the Big Ten will be hard enough.

                  I keep reading this but why would a school agree to playing UM only at Yost? The answer is money and if it is worthwhile great and if not then UM will have to travel. There are plenty of other programs that will need games, that may offer more money or include a return trip.

                    Just to be clear...Minnesota was a driving force for the prior status quo...

                    Whatever momentum the initiative seemed to have gained, though, apparently slowed because Minnesota athletic director Joel Maturi spoke out strongly against it. ...

                    "There is some disagreement as to whether we should have a Big Ten hockey conference. I, for one, have felt that wouldn't be good for college hockey. Some may not agree with me and I'm respectful of that because we all have differences of opinion."

                      How can Wisconsin be thought of as an innocent bystander.

                      Minnesota and Michigan had expressed indifference to Big 10 due to the impact on college hockey.....

                      Wisconsin wanted the money.

                        But I'm sure of three things:

                        1) It was Minnesota's job to take care of the other state schools and they didn't, instead selfishly going for the money grab.

                        2) It was North Dakota's job to be the stewards of the WCHA after the Gophers left, but instead they went for the money grab also.

                        3) Wisconsin was an innocent bystander.



                        Sorry, but Minnesota stands to benefit FAR less than the other Big Ten schools with this move.

                        I don't think they were in favor of the move, but had little choice.
