BGSU AD Christopher not surprised by the formation of new league

According to John Wagner of the Falcon Fodder, BGSU AD Greg Christopher was not surprised about the new Division I hockey conference formation.
John Wagner; Falcon Fodder --- BGSU athletic director Greg Christopher said he wasn’t surprised by the formation of the new league, which also is expected to include Colorado College, Denver, Minnesota-Duluth, Nebraska-Omaha and North Dakota.

“I had heard rumblings about a new conference almost immediately after the Big Ten announcement,” he said. “I’m disappointed some schools have left college hockey in such a fragile state that other schools may be forced to drop hockey or won’t have a place to play in the future.”

While it’s unclear what league Bowling Green eventually will call home, Christopher said the school’s commitment to the program won’t change.
Here is the question I wish someone would ask; why is it that some athletic directors and commissioners of the various schools/leagues that "were not" in the mix to be in the new College Hockey Super League knew the league was a possibility, whiles others did not? Do these people not spend any time on their computers at work or at home? Seriously!!! I think we have a communication problem in Division I hockey or at least a disconnect.
