Why not disclose what the NIL deals are? What's the difference between posting players salary in the NHL, NBA, etc and college players? Oh, must be because they are pros and the college kids are amat......or not. College athletes are now free agents (at least until the lawsuit is settled) and they get paid to play. Like it or not, and I don't, college athletes really aren't amateurs anymore.

IIRC he was due a large bonus ($1,000,000?) and the AD didn't want to pay it. At the time I thought DU letting Gwoz go was a terrible idea, but it seems to have worked out quite well. I guess there is a lesson there.

That's hilarious!

I am not a fan of the portal, and I wish the NC$$ can change it so that players can't change teams at will. Having said that, I doubt any other team has been as successful as UND at bringing in the right players at the right time. Kudos to the coaching staff for that, especially this season. There wasn't anyone that came in from the portal that (at least to me) didn't buy in to the culture. And Stoney you were right on the money about Johannes.

FYP

Can the players have agents now, or is the term used interchangably with advisor?

For having a pretty successful year, CC is losing a lot of players. What's the story?

Not necessarily, unless it was a part of one of the lawsuits the NC$$ lost. Can't they go back to making the players sit out a year? That would certainly stop a lot of the movement.

UND had a great season thanks to bringing in some good players from the portal. But I still don't like it. Free agency in college sports is wrong.

I'm not drinking the B1G kool-aid, that was more a reaction to Goon's post. There were a lot of people that expected the B1G to take over college hockey as soon as they were formed. They haven't but they have gotten better. And will continue to be good, as will BC, BU, etc. I'm very concerned that NIL (especially) and free agency will make it very hard for UND to keep up. The bigger cities and schools have a far bigger pool to draw money from and NIL hasn't really affected hockey much yet. And I don't see another Ralph Engelstad out there.

Maybe followed by 5>2, 5>3......

That's true today but might not be after the FF. What's also true is that this year 0<3.

90 seconds to glory boys

Sioux are the second best team on the ice this period. Completely lost the momentum.

Both Michigan goals off lucky bounces

I just noticed that the OT winning goal by MSU went off the WMU defenseman's stick.

let's play the third like the first!

Nice to have informed announcers

Don't do that after the whistle stuff!

Great start - keep it up!

Did I hear that Pyke isn't playing?

BC 6-1. Where have I seen that before?

And there it is - "Holy Scnikies!"

Nothing to debate there.

Definitely a five
