Andy Baggot; Madison.com --- Six other WCHA schools — Colorado College, Denver, Minnesota-Duluth, Nebraska-Omaha, North Dakota and St. Cloud State — subsequently relocated in the new eight-team National Collegiate Hockey Conference and in the process hurled WCHA commissioner Bruce McLeod under a moving Greyhound.
McLeod apparently had no clue the exodus was being planned — good God, his office is located on the Denver campus — which doesn't speak well of his instincts or the character of those involved in the clandestine operation.
The unspoken narrative is that the renegades — led by Denver and North Dakota, which have won seven NCAA titles apiece, in cahoots with CC and Omaha — were disenchanted with McLeod's guidance and were worried that the new Big Ten monolith would soon dominate the landscape.
