We’ve received a copy of Eigner’s contract. Term and salary were already known (six years, $1.35m total). Bonuses appear to be identical to CB’s original contract, but the buyout via contract termination by Eigner is now equal to that year’s base salary. bgsuhockey.com/wp-content/upl…

Assistant coach salary pull is now over $180k. That’s a $5k increase and will increase by $10k per season as well.

Per a Big Ten source, the conference recently instructed teams not to schedule non-conference games for the 2021-22 season and beyond, likely to allow the league time to figure out its new conference format with the University of Illinois D1 elevation gaining momentum.

There is no imminent announcement, but things have started to come along and the league is making sure it’s ready for the addition.

Sources telling me that the assistant hiring process at Bowling Green is moving. While the application period ended yesterday, BG is in the process of phone calls. It's possible that they get on-campus visits next week. A hockey ops spot will be hired after the assistants arrive
