After chanting "Big Tens sucks" during the trophy presentation after the championship game a lady wearing Big Ten credentials called myself and my buddy over to her by the Zamboni entrance. Thinking "here we go about to get yelled at." They lady says "tell me what you don't like about the setup" we proceeded to tell her our complaints. 1. Go to home sites for first two rounds 2. Listen to the fans complaints. She said the format was voted on by the coaches and in two years when the contracts are up for The X in Minny and Olympi Entertainment in Detroit they will revisit the format. She also admitted she loved the CCHA because that is what she grew up with. Was a nice conversation and she appeared to agree with us and be open to our ideas. Never got her name other than a "deputy commissioner". After doing some research this was Diane Dietz. Delaneys right hand (wo)man. A Michigan grad and women's basketball star. We'll see what comes of it but it doesn't sound like anything until 3 seasons from now.
