Mailbag: Will Eric Lang be a top candidate for coach openings this spring? (#511)

Today’s issue (#511) is headlined with our latest mailbag. Topics in this mailbag include:

• Is Eric Lang a top candidate for openings this spring? (Spoiler: Yes).

• Will there be NIL lawsuits in hockey like basketball?

• Has Tennessee State been included in a potential Independent tournament?

• Why don’t I sympathize with 2004-born players?

• Was Team USA purposely playing so wide open in the 3v3 overtime?

• What to make of James Hagens’ freshman season?

• Changes to NHL draft rights out of the CHL rule change?

• NIL pools.

• Is the moratorium on single-sport conferences expiring soon?

• What goes into CHN’s new CHIP stat?

I also have a notebook with more notes on the House v. NCAA settlement, Christian Humphreys leaving Michigan, and next year’s Holiday Faceoff tournament.
