Nothing new in this statement. However, it is the non-revenue sports (swimming, wrestling, track, etc.) that supply our Olympic teams. Without this feed from the collegiate sports, many Olympic sports would falter.

Football and MBB have been the big money earners for years, even decades. TV revenues have just enhanced their contribution.

How will presently endowed scholarships in non-football sports like wrestling, track, swimming, etc. be treated?

I can attest that Coyle is as miserable one on one as he is as a public speaker. And speaking of money raising skills, we still have a deficit on Athletes Village....and how long has Coyle been here?

The Finns would say Casey has "Sisu". Look it up. It applies to him.

Great article. I shared many of the same memories.

Speaking only for myself, apathy is already setting in.

Disagree strongly. Some of the worst I have ever heard.

I'm a life long runner and used to run exclusively in Nike shoes. I switched several years ago to another brand due to Phil Knight and the lousy quality of the soles on Nike shoes.

I hope not. That would be pathetic. They would be turning their backs on the coaches, their teammates and the fans. The ultimate in selfishness, but I understand that is becoming more the norm in a "its all about me" culture.

I wouldn't put too many chips on Coyle's ability to successfully handle a situation like this.

The only downside to the great Bronko story is that in 1955 his son, Bronko,Jr along with Jim Colosimo of Eveleth and Bob Wetoska from the TC's all enrolled at Notre Dame and not the U of MN.

Too many top in state OL played elsewhere over the years. We don't produce many top QB's, DB's, RB's, etc but we do have a fair amount of instate OL talent. We need to keep them at home. We won't get them all, but we can do better.

Why would anyone trust Coyle to negotiate anything of significance?
