The USCHO Fan Forum has migrated to a new plaform, xenForo. Most of the function of the forum should work in familiar ways.
Please note that you can switch between light and dark modes by clicking on the gear icon in the upper right of the main menu bar.
We are hoping that this new platform will prove to be faster and more reliable. Please feel free to explore its features.
Yes, I am glad they added the DSA rules to the settlement, but it seems like it was too little, too late for a lot of athletes. I know quite a few that transferred already before the DSA proposition was made/approved. And future years' recruiting classes will suffer, too, since they won't be...
I would agree it is good news for hockey. Unfortunately, for some other teams, such as Track and Field (who will have to trim their roster size significantly to remain under the settlement limits, and who will also probably not receive a cent in the revenue share) they probably would disagree

Seems like any schools that have a road game against NEU slated for the second semester might need to reschedule?
According to the writeup, the Lowell schedule is wrong, and it is on Feb 6.

Lowell is out. There is a conflict between one of their games with Amherst. Lowell has a game down for Jan 6, Amherst has it as Feb 6.
Someone who is a part of the UML "Blue Crew" (the club that runs the student fan section) says it's unlikely the school is opting in for the roster limits, after all. This would seem to back up that claim; I can't see us using 10/26 spots on defense.
My only guess would be Nordlund because he went a full year without playing. Tate Brandon also falls into this category even though he's a grad student, and neither of them would appear likely to play next year anyway

With the roster limits, they have to get down to 26 players for next year. They had 31 this year.
On another note, no Lowell players in the portal yet?
Their fundraising campaign has reached $64.5 million in the last six months, and the wording on the website implies that a decent portion of the money is going towards athletics.

I may have just missed it, but apparently UVM is planning to opt-in for the new roster limits as part of the NCAA settlement, but I can't find anything about this except on a Merrimack news article. Does anyone know if the school made an official announcement...
I think this was briefly mentioned before, but my guess is they won't opt in. The men's XC team has been arguably the most successful team on campus this decade, having won five straight America East championships. They currently have a roster size of over 50, and the opt-in roster limits are...
