13 New Hampshire 4,992
14 ACC Notre Dame 4,816
15 B1G Ohio State 4,576

Looking at attendance baseball and women's basketball draw better crowds. The issue is cost of production vs TV fill time in the time between football seasons. If the BTN is showing 6 hockey teams they are betting they will make more than it costs to produce, hence they make money. If the BTN uses the B1G then sooner or later ESPN will use the ACC to match product air time. BTN hockey = Coke, so ACC hockey = Pepsi. Coke has Dasani and Pepsi has Aquafina. As 1 develops a product line, so does the other to not lose shelf space.
You may know the game, but you don't know jack sh*t about markets and marketing.

I believe that if UA had a NCAA hockey team, they would match our baseball attendance from the last few years.

I think what he's saying is that Hockey East = Dr Pepper. They're not going to be destroyed no matter how dominant the others are. ACC Hockey doesn't = Pepsi, because it isn't Pepsi.
Trying to create Pepsi out of Dr. Pepper doesn't work, to use the stupid fricking analogy that's been set forth.

Those are club teams, it's not NCAA. It would require starting a program for them to compete at the NCAA level.
Just as Penn St is considered just a 2nd year program despite having club hockey for years.
I don't even know what to say in response to you sharing attendance, this is just about the dumbest dialogue I've ever been involved with.
