I disagree.
The international game allows little of the mucking about you’ll see in NHL hockey and is actually a better game. I like the physical aspect of the NHL because it’s closer to the brand of hockey I could play. I didn’t have the puck handling skills or the speed to compete with the good players so all I could do is deny the puck, redirect players if I couldn’t keep them from the puck or punish them if not.
Now no question men’s hockey is on a different level than the women’s game, but much like basketball, it’s actually a purer form of the game than the men’s pro game.
Just my two cents.
Biggest money losers in men's sports:
Baseball; 114 teams lost $1.029 mil total
Hockey; 16 teams lost $1.028 mil total
Seven Women's hockey teams lost a total of $1.65 million, a total loss surpassed only by the $2.3 million that 129 women's BB teams lost.
Now, I realize that NU is an exception in the revenue area, where even women's BB and VB are in the black. But would we be willing to take the chance that hockey would make money as well? It would take a huge investment just to find out.
... Sorry to add so much seriousness to a sarcastic thread...

I'm with ya on all but "take Trev with it". I hope he never gets close to DONU athletic dept.
Just curious, do you have a link to this agreement? I didn't know one was officially in place. Not trying to be a jerk by asking for a link, just interested in the subject...
it’s ok but what that report did not show was the contributions to the program. Students fees. All other contributions that add to the over all revenue.
I would imagine that adding it all up sure there would be some losses which i would also imagine would help come tax time
Europe model with bigger ice you better be able to skate. You tie up 2 3 players on the boards. It’s a break away.
I played center and wing. Pure hockey where you can just skate and feel the poetry of the game form around you is amazing

“Tax time”?
Ice Hockey on average loses $3M per year in net revenue - men's and women's combined.
I suspect Nebraska could be better than that but it would ludicrous to bet that on net the two could break even. Why add a new high cost sport that at best it would break-even?
i thought it changed when addressed by congress in 2006 my bad
better for fans than paying x coaches millions?
As far as I know, as long as the activity falls under the umbrella of the ‘academic mission’ revenue is tax exempt. And the umbrella is really big.
after reading. You right!As far as I know, as long as the activity falls under the umbrella of the ‘academic mission’ revenue is tax exempt. And the umbrella is really big.
Are you saying that 16 men's teams together lost the $1.028 mil? If so, then did the remainder of the 60'ish men's teams operate at a profit? There are certainly more than 16 men's and seven women's hockey teams in the NCAA. The report that you are citing is not complete.
