      Agreed, they need to be gone, it would be putting Crookston out of their misery and killing athletics at St. Cloud which could be the death nail or a saving grace for the school to not stay open exclusively for Hockey.

      Also agree that Cloud and Duluth should be brought back into the fold with the rest of the conference teams, if that means another school or 3 add D1 hockey and having the league leadership enact the rule that if there is enough squads for an auto bid the NSIC must play together.
      I keep having a hard time with your take of ‘forcing’ Duluth and St Cloud into an NSIC hockey conference. St Cloud and Crookston were allowed to stay after dropping football, so the NSIC has already shown themselves to be powerless and afraid of making a move.

Also, again what is one vote, supposedly representing the other 7 of us, is going to do against the other conferences that are majority D1 or exclusively D1?
        The fact that they are in the room and privy to the debate going on is a lot. They can add and interject as they or the conference sees fit, especially on debate dealing with hockey that most of the members of the Power Conferences will have no interest in outside of the Big Ten and a spattering of teams out east.

          I believe St Thomas has a history with the old NCC.

            You're right, it's a pipedream but it would be awesome. Natural rivals, local teams, less travel.

            We all agree Cloud should have been removed, but if they're going to keep hockey we may as well incorporate it in so everyone is under the NSIC banner

                I'd be for this if we make it mandatory that they have to play at least two Power 4 schools in every sport, every year. I could use a good laugh hehe

                  IMO - the more I read his posts, the more I think he enjoys the beaurcracy of college sports more than the college sports itself. An NSIC DI hockey conference would be absolutely awful - nobody that watches college hockey wants that. Jeopardizing the future of your program just to boss around UMD and SCSU is a pretty wild take.

                  Now - I'm all for the NSIC running an independent hockey conference for the DII schools to take advantage of the CHL avalanche, but even then the conference would struggle to run it.

                    This might be a tough pill to swallow - but all that matters in hockey is making the NCAA Tournament. It's not a participation trophy sport like basketball where everyone holds hands and sings campfire songs. Winning is the only thing that matters. BGSU doesn't win, so they don't matter.

                    What you are advocating for would push MSU back in hockey by two decades. Sure it would weaken the NCHC a little, but it still wouldn't get MSU out of an autobid situation. Sorry- but NSIC DI hockey makes absolutely zero sense.

                    • Bash Crookston all you want but they at least have their women's soccer and volleyball schedules updated. Jamestown, nothing.

                          Wonder if they are waiting for the official announcement...but maybe I'm giving too much credit.

                            What official announcement would they be waiting for? Their football schedule is up and in the article where they hired their old HC as ST coach, the NSIC stuff is all over it. Maybe some other announcements?

                              Golden Eagles have had a salty baseball program as well, they always play Augie and Mavs well.
