NMU Decides to Stay in CCHA --- Rob Balmes
Much to the chagrin of many Wildcat fans, the NMU President, Board, and Athletic Director decided to remain in the CCHA, turning down an offer to rejoin the WCHA. I personally believe it is a terrible mistake, but respect the decision. Fans should now petition the CCHA to open a dialogue and not be bullied by Michigan and Michigan State to have cross-over interleague play every season. They have their nice little deal to play Wisconsin and Minnesota every season. The dream is dead, NMU remains a Central member.

NMU to stay in the CCHA.
It had been speculated that NMU might jump to the WCHA, but that rumor has been shot down. I agree with the NMU blogger, I think NMU would be a great addition to the WCHA and would be a natural rival with MTU. I think NMU fans should email and call the NMU athletic department.

That's trouble for the Beavers. I think that most thought Northern Michigan was the best bet to join the Beavers in the WCHA, but evidently that is not going to happen anymore now. I don't see how there can be balance and a fair schedule with 11 teams...
ReplyDeleteThat is BS, cut out the lame non-conference games and add more league games.
ReplyDeleteCharlie, if you cut out the non-conference games for the teams, then there is no comparison for Pairwise Rankings - the NCAA's criteria for qualifying for the NCAA tournament. There would be no college hockey showcase, Icebreaker tournament, or ANY holiday tournaments either. Think twice before saying something so stupid again.
