Massive talent disparity especially related to speed

The point is that a tv contract for a “super league” would still include the MSP media market with or without the gophers as part of that league.

There are more than enough alums in MSP from schools that would for sure be in a super league that this market would still be available with or without the gophers. That and the fact that people in every market like watching blue blood teams play.

IU is getting some big money booster donations now for NIL, Mark Cuban being one of those boosters.

they ran out of almost all food there a while ago, oops

I wouldn’t be shocked to see Fitzgerald end up in the next few years at either Iowa or Wisconsin

Yep for all the undeserved accolades John Anderson got from the locals, he never took a team to Omaha. Most schools would not allow a coach to last for almost 40 years without achieving that of a major conference program. And as underwhelming as he was the program is trending even lower now...

Cut men’s baseball. They haven’t been seriously competitive for a long time, and winning the occasional big ten and never making it to Omaha isn’t being competitive on a national scale.

I think she is just burned out and wants to watch her daughter play at Northern Iowa
