UMass Lowell 2024-2025 Season: Expectations are.....Expectations

Yes. It allows your team to have 26 scholarships to give out and revenue sharing if you want to pay them extra.
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

The ones that would be cut to get down to roster limit can be “designated student athletes” which means they are exempt from roster limits. So they can gradually get to the roster limit without cuts.
Does anyone have any information on changes to the coaching staff? I noticed job postings for an Assistant Coach and a Director of Hockey Operations and Video Analysis.

Interesting. I haven’t heard of any changes but Boschetto and Sorenson have been reposting Lowell stuff on their X accounts the past few days and considering the assistant job was posted on June 23rd, I doubt it’s either of them leaving. Maybe Zink?
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 eligible for the DSA status

How will they suffer since there are effectively 8 players that would get extra scholarships that otherwise wouldn’t? Or more than likely 18 players on partials that now get full scholarships. Plus they can get revenue sharing to help with there extra living expenses. There is no question this greatly benefits the student athlete.
Talking about Track and Field/XC at UML specifically.

You're assuming that the school is going to suddenly give out 26 full scholarships. Just because it's allowed doesn't mean they will or that they can afford it. Also, as Will mentioned, other sports, such as Track and Field will be significantly impacted. Men's Track and Field had 88 men on the roster this past season (the women had 52). The new limit is 45. So, nearly 50% of the mens team will be cut to get to the limit.
A little dated, but I ran across this on the NCAA website. Includes a nice Hellebuyck highlight video:
