GDT: Prospects Tournament Sept 16th - 19th

[Darkauron]

NCAA players can go to training camp, but they have to pay for it out of pocket. Devils and the college team cant pay for him to come.

So most NCAA players never go to training camp. Also since it messes with the college players training camp and early games

 

[My3Sons]

Is there any real reason why the NCAA would take issue with this?

Doesnt the NHL make hefty donations to the NCAA? Would think theyd be a bit more friendly about something like this

In the post NIL world it may be easier but there have been very restrictive rules in place about NCAA players getting benefits from pro teams for anything for a long time. Bo Jackson was declared ineligible in college because he accepted a ride on a team plane.

Couldnt his brothers just pay for it? Or his parents?

Reading the NCAA FAQ I was surprised to see even being given a hat or a jersey is a no go. They advise you to mail the items back to the team or pay the team for them.

idk what NIL is but to be honest I dont like college sports outside of the atmosphere. This is the most discussion ive ever had about the NCAA

 

[Darkauron]

They could but why would they? They are not going to play in the NHL this season anyway, and it takes time out of their college training camp and NCAA games start earlier in season. I think Miles wood did one year while he was still in college, but the vast majority never go to NHL training campus

Because I thought Luke was expected to play late this season, so I figured hed like to get a head start on meeting the team and getting a few NHL practices in

You can’t miss class to attend a camp so I think that rules NHL training camp out for almost all college players, regardless of paying their own way.

I agree with you that even if Hughes could attend that his college practices are more important right now.

Haha that is true I forgot about classes. Yeah that is the biggest factor most likely too

I think that’s part of the reason the NCAA limits how and when you can interact with your pro team.

In the eyes of the NCAA, You have not signed a contract, You are not a pro, You are a college players and college eligibility is your priority.

College players are able to secure sponsorships now associated with their "likeness". My guess it is the NCAA tacitly admitting that they allowed EA Sports to use the likenesses (probably indirectly) of college football players without compensation which is illegal even if the NCAA rules prohibited it. Luke Hughes is sponsored by American Eagle clothing for example. Watch all the unintended consequences once boosters at Alabama and Texas realize they can just pay the recruits now. At some point it will get ugly.

College athletes go to class?

He's not going to pay himself for that, come on.

 

[Eggtimer]

I think there are also issues with insurance with college players and this type of “camp”.
Just not worth it. It would be awesome to see him play but no point him going all over the country for a couple of meaningless games.

College athletes go to class?

They just hire doppelgängers to fill in for them.

 

[Rynewed]

Probably not

But realistically how much could it really be? Dont some teams have players who pay their way through it anyhow?

 

[FinnishDevil]

lots of Slovaks should be tuned in even if it’s gonna be very late

I sense the same kind of hype in Slovakia now that we had in early 10s when we started producing skilled players again. Hopefully you guys can regain your golden age form on international ice.

When has the NCAA ever not been Greedy and uncompromising?

 

[TheUnseenHand]

So where do I find the game? I don't see it on the website.

Clown show. How about a direct link on the website? That would be too much trouble I guess.

[JK3]

Alright, might as well make this live.

 

[Hisch13r]

Not streaming the game on YT is very annoying. The NHL player is such trash

 

[Devs3cups]

Been a while since I said this but... LGD!!!

 

[SJinNewJersey]

What time does the game start?

 

[My3Sons]

These pregane interviews. Meh.
