Comments on: Big Ten held high level talks on new conference http://michiganhockey.net/?p=732 Covering Michigan Hockey online since 1997 Fri, 03 Sep 2010 01:16:19 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: GoBlue2009 http://michiganhockey.net/?p=732&cpage=1#comment-150 GoBlue2009 Tue, 13 Oct 2009 00:40:50 +0000 http://michiganhockey.net/?p=732#comment-150 I'm glad there is some movement on this front. I've long been a proponent of a Big Ten hockey conference. It's good for visibility, competition, stability, etc. I know it will be a detriment to the smaller schools, but it's not like they couldn't play non-conference games with us; you'd need it to fill the schedule. I'm almost certain Miami and Notre Dame would stay in the CCHA. And to round out the Big 10, it looks like Illinois and Penn State would be the closest to joining. Yay all around for this.
