per Marcus:
One of the most decorated Gophers players of the past 50 years was furious with his alma mater Saturday morning, having just watched University of Minnesota players end their boycott of the team.
“I’m done with the University of Minnesota, unless President [Eric Kaler] and the [athletic director Mark Coyle] get fired,” said Tyrone Carter, the Jim Thorpe Award winner as college football’s top defensive back in 1999. “They got to get a new administration. They’re going to lose kids. I feel bad as a [friend] of Antoine Winfield that he trusted the university with his kid. The way they handled that situation was totally disrespectful.”
Carter, a former Gophers All-America and two-time Super Bowl champion, supported the players’ boycott that came after the suspension of 10 teammates because of an alleged sexual assault, saying it was “about making sure the players got due process,” he said. “I’m proud of those boys. They did it on their own. They knew they weren’t going to get a fair shot.”
