BearLover chimpfood adamw one thing that might happen, is NHL teams will be less likely to take NCAA-bound players in the later rounds.Absolutely, was just thinking that this hurts the chances of DiGiulian and Cournoyer getting drafted (but I guess helps us). Does anyone know if players drafted under the old rules are going to be immediately subject to the new ones or will there be grandfatheringby abmarks - Hockey

Here's another twist on the CHL recruitment saga. Re: CHL players moving to the NCAA, coaches are finding out that a lot of them will not be academically eligible to play college hockey. It's not that the CHL players are bad students. The primary issue is that many have not taken the required 16 NCAA-approved core classes, including 10 in the first seven semesters of high school.by abmarks - Hockey

Re: Ben Robertson transfer - 2 months ago
BearLover Are you intentionally obtuse, or just dishonest? You’re quoting things from my post out of context and claiming I was responding to something different from what I was responding to. For example, you previously argued against the 3k average NIL amount by making the point that Adam was referring to big 10 schools, not all schools. I said that this number was intended to average the dby abmarks - Hockey
Re: Ben Robertson transfer - 2 months ago
BearLover “Adam said some B1G schools, not all schools” If some B1G schools were paying 100K, that would be reflected in the data. It is mathematically impossible for the average to be as low as 3K if multiple players were making 100K. You still fail the ol' logic test. . That dataset ends as of June 2024.

The Rancor Dafatone VIEWfromK BearLover Robertson has almost no chance of an NHL career. I wasn't even considering the possibility that Jacob MacDonald or Joakim Ryan would play in the NHL based on their time at Cornell, yet both have played in the league. Maybe you wouldn't call it a career but since I don't think Cornell turns out finished products it's kind of hard to really know Also, iby abmarks - Hockey

Re: Ben Robertson transfer - 2 months ago
BearLover adamw To think NIL is not involved in college hockey is really off base. Some Big Ten schools are floating upwards of $100,000/year at players - currently. It would be pretty obvious Robertson got something, plus a full ride. The notion that $100,000 payments are remotely commonplace directly contradicts this article: The chart at the end says annual NIL earnings for men’s hockey plby abmarks - Hockey
