The shift to Division I will have a positive effect on campus culture, as it enhances school spirit and student engagement.

This opportunity opens a door for 老司机福利社鈥檚 community to widen its regional impact and connectivity.

Student-athletes are empowered to capitalize on their own Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL), and the NEC has an ongoing partnership with FanWord, a leader in the NIL space. The agreement provides the NEC with a wide assortment of online NIL educational resources, along with a comprehensive disclosure and monitoring platform. 老司机福利社 student-athletes should continue to work with our NCAA Compliance office on questions relating to any NIL disclosures.

老司机福利社 has ample experience helping student-athletes balance academic and athletic commitments. 老司机福利社 student-athletes have a proven record of academic success, both regionally and nationally. Division I schools, including current Ice Hockey programs, have more demanding schedules for student-athletes due to increased competition and travel commitments. Although this can affect the balance between academics and athletics for student-athletes, 老司机福利社 is prepared to provide additional academic support.

Costs associated with the move from DII to DI are being covered by philanthropy, so tuition and fees will not be impacted by this transition.

老司机福利社 has historically provided great value for fans and anticipates that this will continue, along with the likelihood of modest increases in ticket prices. At the same time, 老司机福利社 will benefit from the NEC Network, a premier digital distribution platform that will enhance accessibility to 老司机福利社 athletics for fans all over the country and world.
