Potential First-Overall Pick Has Just Been Offered $1 Million To Play In The NCAA Next Season
Potential first-overall pick Michael Misa has just been approached by Boston College with an offer of $1 million for him to join them for the upcoming season.
This $1.4-million contract, to be exact, underlined the great talent of Michael Misa to be considered the highly valued prospect for the 2025 NHL draft.
This move by the NCAA, letting the athletes cash in on their NIL, is what completely changed college athletics and let players like Michael Misa cash in on their talent and worth to a team.
Insanely, that places Misa's NIL package even above the base salary cap of NHL entry-level contracts, which max out at $950,000 before performance bonuses. What really makes that deal even more impressive is because he's just a starting player.
His numbers with the Saginaw Spirit of the OHL, volumes are being said on the ice, 55 points in 27 games, stamp him as a dominant force.
Sportsnet's Sam Cosentino projects him to go 3rd overall this summer, and there's little question he's among the best players in his class.
It almost feels like the recent inclusions of all the CHL players into NCAA hockey open every avenue for a young star like him to further develop his game and create new pathways toward reaching his goals.
Knowing the options to weigh, Misa realizes the ever-changing landscape of NIL opportunities has opened a new frontier in amateur athletics and avenues for cashing in on his skills and his brand in ways never before imagined, along with opening doors both on and off the ice toward a more promising future.
