You make a good point. There are many people pushing for an expansion of D1 men's hockey, specifically from SEC, Big 12, etc. I personally think it's...

There are theories about this so you're not wrong....

They recently announced their signing class. I counted 27 for the upcoming season so my guess is that they're opting out unless there's some provision...

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

Bowling Green will vote in the best interest of the conference. They represent the conference. Without them, it's a bit of a crap shoot....

[njmav1]

I doubt the income would be anything like what you think it would be. UMD and St Cloud make out better in the NCHC because of Denver and NoDak. Revenue...

I believe (women's) bowling is just one division. Men's volleyball has a combined D1 and D2 national championship....

Augustana as a better upside than Bemidji in my opinion.

I still have my doubts that a non D1 all sports conference would be allowed to sponsor...

[njmav1]

Not sure what you mean by "how the conference is run." I think every fan will say that about whatever conference their team is in frankly....

[njmav1]

If the rumor is correct, the NCHC extended an offer to BGSU around the time the Mavs applied for admission. BG turned down the NCHC and likely got the...

I absolutely agree that SCSU and UMD would rather be in a geographically smaller conference with familiar foes- as would Bemidji, Mankato, and Augie....

The NSIC is nothing like the B1G- not even at the D2 level. And by NSIC, you mean the member schools. I don't see Mankato, Bemidji, or Augustana voting...

[njmav1]

It's possible, but unlikely. BGSU was courted by the NCHC but they said no. BGSU held the rights to the CCHA's name and intellectual property. So to me,...

[njmav1]

Agreed. UMD and SCSU don't want to leave the NCHC. I don't think any NCHC school would leave-except maybe IMO Denver and NoDak if they got the right ...

[njmav1]

I don't think any of the current NSIC D1 programs would want to be in a conference with no D1 members. The conference would have no say in any matters...

[njmav1]

Are you saying the NSIC sponsor D1 men's hockey if Jamestown/Minot (and I believe Mary as well) move up to NCAA D1?...

[njmav1]

Is there anything stopping the NSIC (besides finances) from sponsoring the sport within the ACHA instead of the NCAA?...
