More on Expansion.

It looks like Alberts is keeping it close to the vest, the man must be a really good poker player. Nothing new here really. I am sure we will hear an announcement in the up coming days or up coming weeks.
UNO Athletic Director Trev Alberts reiterated Wednesday night that the Mavs haven’t applied for admission into the WCHA and that the school is happy with its CCHA membership. He said he wasn’t aware exactly of what the WCHA was meeting to discuss or what the result of those talks might have been.

“There would only be a certain scenario under which we would even entertain the thought of leaving and going to a different league,” Alberts said. “Unless those very basic requirements would be contemplated, we have a home (in the CCHA).”

Alberts declined to get into specifics about the conversations Omaha has had with the WCHA about the terms that would have to be met for the Mavs to consider applying.

However, Omaha would benefit significantly if the league reduces or eliminates the membership fee. When Minnesota State-Mankato entered the WCHA in 1999-2000, it had to pay $120,000 over three years, and it did not receive a cut of postseason revenue during that time. [Omaha.com]
