Gophers to host St. Thomas on November 6

[60's Guy]

I missed that one, thanks.

Credit to Will Wade for scheduling it.

Or is it more that Will Wade has pissed off so many coaches that nobody will play him and so High Point is an alternative to all the animosity from more practical opponents?

Part II: I know St Thomas got NIL raided but is it still the Gophers most competitive pre season home game?

So far of what’s been confirmed, I’d say yes.

FWIW, LSU has scheduled High Point for next season.

Did they fill out their roster with YMCA noon ballers in their 40s?

A bunch of international players who may or may not be eligible and RJ Luis who may or may not be eligible

So Niko is pretty much saying, hey, I did this for the fans, but enough with the BS that the Gophers have to play St Thomas every year.

Per Shama:

Nothing has been announced, but a guess is Minnesota is paying the Tommies a guarantee of between $80,000 and $95,000 for their game at Williams Arena.
