Matt Slovin, who is the Managing Editor and hockey beat writer for Michigan Daily added the following:

Should be interesting to see how this impacts the Jets.  We have contacted Scott Brown, Senior Director of Corporate Communications, to find out if the Jets have further comment.  We will update this post as soon we hear further.

We have already examined the options for Trouba if/when he leaves college.  Listen here.
