What NIL money? I haven't heard a single credible report of an American player getting significant nil money. There just isn't that much money in ncaa hockey.
Misa, Martone etc as Canadians can't get paid that way anyhow.
NCAAH is the third highest revenue sport of all the male and female collegiate sports after throwball and basketball. Now there is a big gap between those two and third place, but the majority of hockey DI programmes either make money or break even at worst. There are some in the red for sure, but you can say that about every sport. Actually throwball is one of the biggest detrimental sports for a college due to the significant amount it costs to build a stadium, the significant amount to pay a good college coach, and the sheer number of scholarships you must give out to make your school competitive in the recruitment phase. The number for a throwball team is 105, but not everyone is getting a sports scholarship, I think it was around 40 to 50 if I remember correctly (quote me if I am wrong here). Giving 40 to 50 players a full ride is super costly to a school.
Not every school will be able to pay the rumoured one million dollar NIL contract that Michigan supposedly offered Porter, but Michigian is definitely one school which can do that.
