What leeway do private schools have that public schools do not?
You can say it 1000 times but folks still don't hear:
An NIL collective is a private organization and in no way directly controlled by an athletic department much less university. For example:
QuoteThe 1883 Collective is a third-party college athletics collective tailored for UND athletes, aiming to provide name, image, and likeness (NIL) opportunities and foster community service initiatives. Although it supports UND student athletes, it maintains no direct affiliation with the University of North Dakota.

The guy going from QU to Miami better be able to handle losing.
Fillion (to Miami) and Tellier of Q were guys I'd figured to get much interest.

What if Persson hears we are getting 2 Belgian Waffle makers in the players lounge and changes his mind and doesn't go pro? Does Cheese get pushed out?
A Swede like Lud scoffs at your proposed Belgian waffle makers. For him it's kringle or bust.

One more thought on goalies and the portal:
Persson has a Covid year left but is going pro.
Was Lud the two-year plan to get us to Heil and the plan changed, thus enter Semptimphelter for a year. -

Exactly. I don't understand why bringing in a portal goalie is a bad thing.
If it was the long-term not-a-solution solution I'd be against it.
But I see a long-term plan forming up (Hedquist and Heil) so a rental to get there, and back to a stable recruiting pattern and rotation, is palatable.I'm guessing in about a year UND will be hard in the market for a starter capable goalie two years younger than Heil.
And a puck-eater to replace Cheese.- 1

Glad to hear Blake moving on that leg. It looked scary.

I respect KG's coaching skills - but why are we on our 4th portal goalie?
I would point to Adam Scheel leaving after three seasons and Cam Rowe's decommitment putting ripples into the goalie recruiting pipeline as the reasons for having gone to the portal. Covid merely exacerbated it making guys available with one year left.
Now that Hobie is here and appears as advertised, and Heil is a year out, things seem to be stabilizing to a two-year gap between the top two and a puck-eating practice third (any age will do).

On the other hand, when your audience is old and a little infirm, repetition has its advantages.
It's all in the timing.

Anyone else sick of losing recruits to Denver? Anyone else sick of Denver in general?
DU falls under my general despising of maroon and gold teams.

For guys like Wilbur, are social security benefits affected by scholarship awards or NIL income?
Wilbur and Albrecht would share an accountant.

I don’t like the portal any more than I like the 1 year scholarships that schools offer student athletes.
If a university can’t commit to a student athlete for 4 years, I can’t blame a student for leaving either.
Scholarships have always been one-year propositions but I understand your point.

I would have rather taken a goalie that has more than a year, so Heil doesn't rush his development. I thought they would go after the other ASU goalie, Henry Levy, that didn't play but was part of the 2022-23 Penticton title team.
Heil has made a rapid turn around going from SF to the US NTDP this season. And Karl worked with hiim at an international tourney. I trust KG to be the goalie whisperer.
I see Hobie and Heil as the 2025-26 tandem.

And now the transcript of how UND won Semptimphelter ...
KG: Bubs, TJ Semp at ASU is in the portal.
Bubs: Really? Call him.
< sounds of dialing >
TJ: Hello? This is TJ Semp the free agent goalie.
KG: Hello, this is Karl Goehring of the University of Nor.. < cut off by Semp >
TJ: UND? Is the Chicklets U thing real?
KG: I'm calling you from the Zero Grav bed drinking a momosa.
TJ: This isn't Omaha punking me.
KG: See the 701 area code on my caller ID? I swear on the Altitude Room. Want to talk to Bubs?
TJ: I'm in.- 6

Phone didn't ring....sigh....
I said I'd only come in as a RH D if I was playing in front of @Wilbur so there's that too.

Give me the RIT tandem (Scarfone the G and Wilkie the F) and I'm out.

summbody write that code a bit extra in the dark green zone.
That variable will not require a long much less a double. Likely a short.

Thanks @Benny Baker for finding that image.
You can't tell me that knee is in a good way right now.
Blake made a dumb move and got that. Much room to mature.

Portal = Free Agency
NIL = Endorsement Deals
College = Professional
You're not wrong.
But as a pro coach Hafley has a front office dealing with the business side.
