Getting a hockey only invite is a raw goddamned deal.

It's a demonstration that the B1G is not at all serious about actually having us as a league partner of any kind. It's a gigantic slap in the face, UNLESS it comes with a commitment that the league will be taking us in as full members by such and such a date, and/or making commitments to play us out of league in football and basketball.

Moreover it's a move that makes no sense for them anyhow.

My guess is that negotiation is not part of your day job requirements.

Inviting us to the hockey league is a sign they don't want us in the league at all? K...

I was interested to see if there was any excitement surrounding Navy's fan base. Found this interesting post about how the Army-Navy game is scheduled after conference championship games. Interesting. It also goes onto some MWC and Air Force discussion. And the value of the Army-Navy game to The American in terms of TV deals.

Well, I sure hope we're one of those six. I'd imagine that Cincinnati, UCF, ECU, BYU, Memphis, Boise St., and Houston would be the only other remotely realistic contenders.

affiliate ugh. I swear I'm a better speller than my last few posts.
Boat never admit to the spelling error.
You were actually just setting up Samoo's witty reply.
A brilliant post on your part.

From ASU Media Relations to my ASU HCKY question

" We won’t have an announcement for a while. We’re currently talking to conferences.."

@pfh1964 Favorites to become #8..if ASU is 7th
1. Duluth
2. Omaha
3. Colorado College.
4. UCONN
5. Denver
6. North Dakota

@pfh1964 I think most teams would balk at any talk of joining a conference of B1G HCKY...it's just too different..COA's...different circles

@flugempire I know. That's why UCONN and partner make sense to me, but I'm not behind the scenes.

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 26m26 minutes ago
@pfh1964 Minnesota Duluth is the chalk (favorite) on who becomes the 8th school if an 8th is needed. But UCONN is also a candidate

Enough already. ASU is not joining B1G Hockey, and the B1G is NOT inviting UCONN partial anything.

I don't think you're getting the whole "Non-Key Tweets" thing! Maybe only follow it if you're drinking perhaps? Then maybe it won't come across as real, you know, just crap being thrown at a wall.

Sooooo, by that reasoning, the entire CR board is only to be taken in with a few shots of Jager?

@Expansion_Crush @pfh1964 ...what Associate Commish Keppel (B1G) said about why ASU should think about joining B1G HCKY...she said ASU..

Greg Flugaur @flugempire · 51m 51 minutes ago
@Expansion_Crush @pfh1964 ...should think about joining like-minded insututions. So if you reverse Keppels statements and come from it at..

Greg Flugaur @flugempire · 50m 50 minutes ago
@Expansion_Crush @pfh1964 ...the point of view in B1G eyes (like minded insitutions ) for team #8 (if ASU is 7) it becomes most difficult.

Greg Flugaur @flugempire · 49m 49 minutes ago
@Expansion_Crush @pfh1964 Denver has a long history with Gophers/Bsdgers (WCHA). They also have a good following. But they are private.

Greg Flugaur @flugempire · 47m 47 minutes ago
@Expansion_Crush @pfh1964 And I'm not sure these hockey "first & last" schools want to join a Football first hockey league for many reasons

Greg Flugaur @flugempire · 46m 46 minutes ago
@Expansion_Crush @pfh1964 So if ASU decides to enter the B1G HCKY league (b/c of PACN/BTN combo) the candidates for 8 are extremely limited

Greg Flugaur @flugempire · 45m 45 minutes ago
@Expansion_Crush @pfh1964 Minnesota Duluth/Omaha have to be the chalks for team 8 because they are in NEB/MIN state systems. They both..

Greg Flugaur @flugempire · 44m 44 minutes ago
@Expansion_Crush @pfh1964 ...have very good fan bases..and they can be gotten (especially UMD Bulldogs) UCONN & Notre Dame are the only 2..

Greg Flugaur @flugempire · 43m 43 minutes ago
@Expansion_Crush @pfh1964 ...schools available that have d1 football (athletic departments over 60 mil in Rev) that have D1 supported HCKY

Greg Flugaur @flugempire · 42m 42 minutes ago
@Expansion_Crush @pfh1964 So I, and others, look at NCHC trying to get ASU/ND for 9-10. And B1G trying to get ASU/Omaha/Duluth/UCONN.

Greg Flugaur @flugempire · 41m 41 minutes ago
@Expansion_Crush @pfh1964 Will see who gets ASU...and then dominoes will fall in the world of college hockey

Greg Flugaur @flugempire · 32m 32 minutes ago
@Expansion_Crush @pfh1964 But what I find most interesting is: NCHC has to be talking with schools(ND) about becoming 10 if ASU joins NCHC..

Greg Flugaur @flugempire · 31m 31 minutes ago
@Expansion_Crush @pfh1964 ..and B1G has to be talking with schools RIGHT NOW to become 8 if ASU joins B1G HCKY. So I do see a few NDA..

Greg Flugaur @flugempire · 30m 30 minutes ago
@Expansion_Crush @pfh1964 NDA (Non Disclosure Agreements) floating around some AD offices for the next 30-60 days.
