CHL Can Now Play NCAA - Changes Everything

[terrierguy11]

As for the niche word of college hockey, it hasn't really been a problem (yet and I'm very very skeptical of the claim that Penn is offering Martone north of 200K).

The only way someone is offering anybody more than 6 figures is mega-wealthy alumni who are doing so out of a passion for the team/sport.

In Penn St's case I think it is possible due to Terry Pegula, but I agree that some of these numbers are fabricated. I really think the money/NIL part is being overblown by a lot.

NIL is nice, but for a lot of hockey players they are already rich and their ELCs will be 3-5x what they will make per year in college. Going to the place that will let you get there quicker (and also gives you more leverage to burn a year) is a good decision.

Yeah, I've been saying as much about NIL since this thread started.......On a plus for B.U. fans, however, I do have it on very good authority that a potential top 10 for 25 CHL player did visit the school last month and was "excited" about the “possibilities”. As with these things though, the NHL draft, his agent and team will determine just how excited he really was.
