Mailbag: How did Maine do what it did?

This week's mailbag hits on a lot of topics, including:

• How is Maine so successful with just one drafted player?

• What are the chances Merrimack football gets into a conference?

• How much money are college hockey players really getting in NIL?

• Why are some teams constantly stuck at the bottom of the Pairwise?

• Why is Merrimack’s student section not with the opposing goalie?

• How are teams paid for making the NCAA basketball tournament?
