Isn't there a ruling coming that would effectively allow schools to pay athletes instead of having collectives etc? It does appear that we perhaps as fans, administration, alumni, have missed the boat on this whole collective and getting money to compete in this new era. This should be a wake up call to fans, alumni and administration that it is time to support and advocate for the collective.

Exactly. Looks like some drunk kids wrestling around.

You could tell he was a scrappy player who liked to mix it up. Certainly is disappointing to see him go but from the sounds of it, he may have some anger issues and probably will be for the best.

Agreed. I am actually surprised Michigan would want Perron given the pick of players they usually have. Seems like a big gamble to pay money to.

Or BC fans.

Doesn’t really matter where or how. There are things Schloss doesn’t know or doesn’t report

Karl applied for the job and was part of the first round. He didn’t make it to the second round, I would think perhaps he won’t be coming back.

#2. This is disturbing to hear, but makes sense with the lack of recruit announcements coming the last couple years.

As much as we want to pin this all on Chaves, and believe me he is an easy target, he most certainly leaned on Erik Martinson for this as well. I like Marty, I have known him for a long time, but he was just as instrumental in the decision making as Chaves. So good or bad he deserve credit or criticism too.

I feel like whoever made that post was more wishful thinking than matter of fact.

I think a lot of people are worried that it is just going to be more of the same with Jax. I am a bit surprised how many people are less than pleased with the hire. Jax has to change things up otherwise it’s going to be a short tenure.

There you go.

You finally got something right. Per source.

I don’t think Herter would be an assistant here. He would only come as HC. My guess anyway.

Who sets that policy. REA ala Jody Hodgeson or UND?

I’d be ok with either Jax or Herter. It may come down to who can stop the exit of players or recruits from leaving in large numbers and I suppose a case could be made that Jax might prevent a mass exodus more so.

That’s my guess.

Agreed. Nice guy, but just not super effective in my opinion.

Not happening.

source is wrong.

For those of you that think this is a layup for Dane Jackson, that is not the case. He may very well get the job but he certainly has competition. This is not a slam dunk for him.

Signal.

Haha. Just a guess.

I don’t think we will see Jackson behind the bench unless it’s as an assistant coach the new hire decides to keep on.

It always will be, however DU hockey isn’t the only show in town and they aren’t the best show in town or even in local sports. There is pro sports , then college football and basketball. Third fiddle. At UND you are the show in the city and throughout most of the state. It’s a big deal. That can be an attractive sell to some.
