This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Don't think there's much by ndmd99
Believe the players can use the NIL collective started by Brady Quinn (believe it centers on partnering with non-profits for charity work). Not sure if there are other ND collectives.
For comparison, Gophers have a NIL collective called Dinkytown Athletics (it even includes players getting a cut of beer/vodka sales LOL).
As far as individual NIL, Bischel held a goalie camp over the summer. And does some radio spots for a local bank. Other than that, haven't seen any other indication other players have personal NIL deals.
It's hard to verify the extent of NIL in hockey. Lots of rumors. But tough to tell who is telling the truth. Probably not wide spread except for the difference-making super high end kids where the recruiting battles are raging.
