I keep hearing that the NCAA should have done something sooner. The NCAA and the Universities don't mind this new system at all. They found a way to get the players paid, without them paying!! The Gophers make 100M on the BTN contract (or whatever the figure is) whether they field a...
This could be one of those scenarios where Hawkins knew he was going to enter the portal, but wanted to wait for his last installment to be paid before giving Ben and the team the bad news?
True, it is strange. The GM can be hired by the university directly though. The U has plenty of money to spend on a coach or GM, whether they prioritize it or not is up to them, but they have money.

I'm sure it was mentioned before in the thread, but I was surprised to see JOJ get some run yesterday.
I thought the team played hard, and it was a really fun game to watch. I really think our double team on defense needs work. It almost seems like they hesitate and aren't sure if they...
Getting a win against MSU, and beating them twice in a season would be fantastic! Huge game, maybe it's just me, but winning this one would really change the way I feel about the team moving forward. I need to see that this team still has some fight left in them! Let's go boys!!!
