So I get it.
There's some situations like that.
But, you know, ultimately what they could do is in what, you know, there's been whispers of is just breaking away from the NCAA.
Just start your own federation.
Yeah, and hockey is the one sport probably โ and all sports have talked about this at the college level.
Even football has, right?
I mean, they could easily do their own thing, get their own TV contract.
That would be not a problem at all.
But, you know, there's been talk about maybe doing that with college hockey and maybe โ
And do you break it up into tiers?
So, like, you know, you have three divisions.
I know, I mean, let's face it, these teams in Atlantic hockey are not going to ever win the national championship.
Now, it's fun to aspire to a D1 scholarship and play, you know, occasionally play a Boston College, a North Dakota, a Denver, and compete against those guys, but
you know would it be cool if they could compete for their own championship you know whether it's 20 teams in each in each division or each tier if you do it that way and get separate tv contracts and the big boys can get a tv contract and and maybe try to grow the game that way and have more games on prime time get these big dogs together every week playing big games and have a monday night hockey a third whatever you do but yeah that's probably the ultimately then they can do whatever they want in all kinds of situations if they break away and
and hire a commissioner and, and try to, because it is becoming a strong league with the, with the Canadian juniors coming down.
These 20 year old kids are really good players.
Really good.
They've really brought depth.
Yeah.
This Caswell kid in Denver who played, I think he played for Swift current for four years, was their MVP.
