Take the "zero NIL" with a grain of salt. Put your name on, and run a hockey camp in the summer = $$$ Or any of the other 1000 ways....speeches...like former president's can be big money makers too.

I asked my bff,

Exactly. The "theory" and the "practice" are not aligned. We saw a former UND player transfer and he somehow knows his exact dollar amount already?! How did that happen? Joe Blow from across the country just really liked the kid and thought he could help out his brand?! Lol. You're living in a dream world. NIL is a type of blue ribbon commission that runs parallel to university. The kids are bought and paid for. And when you sit down to offer a kid a scholarship, he'll tell you exactly how much the other schools/collective offered him. And if you'd like to match it. Dane Jackson is the middleman between any collective and the recruit. There's a baseline salary for everyone: Alston, sales of names on jerseys, and a share of donation pot.....Imo try and share that pot pretty evenly. And of course everyone knows they can go out and get their own NIL money anytime anywhere. That sorta goes without saying. That would spark curiosity not controversy amongst players. "How'd you do that? Maybe I should try that."

Wonder how "different amounts of NIL" divide a locker room in today's college landcspe. Everyone with $0 means everyone is equal. Maybe Dane ( i mean cough* non UND entity* cough) should pay everyone equally and if someone doesn't come because they want more money, you instantly know they don't fit. Just gotta think one or two guys making a lot more than the rest of the team might even subconsciously divide a team. Suddenly UND becomes "David" again vs "Goliath".....small teams with little money....against the Big Ten schools with all their fancy money laden rosters! Lean into this culture. It's what built UND into a powerhouse! Small UND vs Big school Gophers! UND: "the leftover players who the Gophers and Michigans didn't want" was the attitude....that national attitude put a chip on UND players shoulders in the 80s and 90s. That attitude won National Championships. Problem is we became too big with the new Ralph and all the Championships. It developed a big target on our backs! And like the Michigan's and Gophers, UND the last twenty years got everyone's A game. Time to go back and reestablish our roots.

IDK, a career focused individual is sorta what I'd like to see in a head coach.

Exact quote. Freudian slip as he stumbled over his words.

"If I was an ambitious guy, I would have left 15 years ago."

I love how a couple key individuals came together and formed a non profit to help UND athletics. This isn't a full time job for them. They are just volunteers. And asking for money like any non profit. People acting like this is a UND alumni association at work. Maybe UND should funnel some money to form another collective with full time fundraisers! It's not going to be easy to suddenly add $500k to $million+ a year to the "donation pockets" of the UND stakeholders.

Going to be fun when a star NHL player goes to two NCAA schools and both get to claim him as theirs.

I love cheering for NCHC teams in the tournament!

Source?

Oh gotcha...took me a second! 😆 😊

That's the official North Dakota Hockey account announcing the new head coach. Lots of eyeballs on it. Especially younger people....*cough recruits*.

...showing the entire college hockey world there's a lot more to the story than is being told.

Looks like this team had more than just that "one issue, one person."

Doubt she's drunk this morning, as that's when she's commenting. But of course I could be wrong.

OK thanks. That would seem weird. Had a Elon Musk and one his his "sons" relationship flashback.

Now thats it's on Social Media for the world to see, Can Brad Schlossman finally comment on it? Maybe we'll need someone from the Forum to do the actual work again?

You know the rules: Screenshots or it didn't happen. His girls really seemed to live extravagant lifestyles for their ages....maybe upset not sure where future money will come from?...oh wait...they had the trademark...but that was taken away too!

At least Bubba Schweigert was younger than Dane Jackson when he was hired to be the head coach. Both got the positions because of the UND connection, Over younger, rising stars (chippahs) with more hunger and drive. Dane, like Berry, now has to learn to run the entire program. As both had never really been a head coach of anything before (unless you count Dane replacing the one coach who died during the season). Hakstol and Blais, had head coaching experience and were "young"...not hard to see a clear pattern of key ingredients that separate these two groups: Berry, Dane Hakstol, Blais

Whomever Dane hires as his assistants better be good because we all know one will be the next UND head coach in a few years after Dane is gone.

Absolute bonkers they'd choose Dane Jackson over Nick Fohr! This was the exact same as the Bubba hire over Kalen Deboer!

Just like when Eric Schmidt was hired..... You can sit on SiouxSports and know who was gonna be hired days ago!

And the rest of the prayers musta handled it poorly and let it affect their performance.

Says a lot about those players too.
