BU Hockey '25-'26: Can we keep up the run to Vegas?

[Terrier86]

Wouldn't each of the kids just signed (especially those from the CHL) have been promised and been informed of how rev share/NIL was going to work at BU for at least this coming season and perhaps next season BEFORE they signed with us? If so, then perhaps there is nothing to worry about.

I would say 1) I'm not 100% sure that BU knew the Patriot League was going to force their hand but you would think they would/should have. 2) Any NIL deals made before now will still be valid, so anything NIL promised to the players is ok. 3) Future NIL deals will be much more heavily scrutinized and have to pass an NCAA clearinghouse and must have (and I'm no expert) proof of business use and for a reasonable amount. So BU cannot simply pass off "revenue sharing" payment and call it NIL.

So they are using the prem league model
