This isn't really indicative of a program's issues but one man's poor judgement and ethics. The encounters were consensual and nothing was illegal until the break in and threats. The sign stealing racket was way worse from a program corruption standpoint. I would walk through either...

Why Jedd Fisch? He had one good year at Arizona but has a losing record as a head coach. Only has one year ten years ago with the program, among the vast number of jobs he’s held. Not really a midwest guy either. I guess people see that he’s held a job for almost 2 years and must be itching...

I admit I threw in $100 on a 2 cent Kalshi contract that Fleck gets the Michigan job In my shock and dismay and realization that the Michigan coach's affair destroyed the Gopher football program I would at least have $5000 as consolation I highly doubt they are getting Kalen DeBoer or want...

It's very common to be laid off without cause and continue to work for the company for weeks or even months. But usually HR is involved.

You are right that they are married, and he's also about 50 years older than she is. We were thinking of the same person.

It's not just a salary cap it's also revenue sharing, a draft system that gives the worst team the first picks, etc. While Ohio State isn't directly cutting us checks we're netting out to gain some of their revenues

Oh, that's bad too. But if he's gonna do it, pick absolutely anyone but his assistant at work. Lots of coaches have had affairs (ours is strongly rumored to have had one before) and haven't lost their jobs and created a massive national scandal on top of wrecking their home.

this is why these kinds of things are unfathomably stupid. You give her obvious leverage to destroy you unless you do everything she demands. There are a couple million women in the Ann Arbor - Detroit metro and he has to get involved with his direct report and put himself in blindingly...

The American professional sports system is one of the greatest examples of socialism working and creating a rising tide that lifted all boats. It made a bunch of players and owners far richer than they would if it was the same 3 rich teams contending every year and everyone else as feeder...

Girlfriend who's over 50 years younger, but yes it was him

The Gophers could be set up for a big run next season. The traditional powers on the schedule (Michigan and Penn State) are both going through coaching changes and are somewhat down. Michigan is a home game. There's iowa and a trip to Seattle. But no Oregon, Ohio State, USC, etc. 3 winnable...

Even before this, Eslinger was the most decorated and accomplished Gopher football player of the last few decades, based on his time at the U. Also won or was a finalist for a slew of academic awards on top of being a unanimous All American on the field.

I think it's even legally ok with a student. But with a staff member in his reporting line, even if that staff member is single and in her 40s, can be grounds for termination.

Was never a big enough name for them and they didn't have to fight/dream hard enough to get him They want someone who can win the press conference

He'll always be a legend on my NCAA '25 team. Averaged like 12 YPC on misdirection runs.
