Per RandBall:
What is clear for now is this: The Gophers are going for it. In modern sports, that is always a popular approach and often the correct one.
Coyle has said the Gophers plan to distribute the full $20.5 million in revenue sharing next year, a figure and process that should gain more clarity with a court ruling next month.
At his introductory news conference Tuesday, Medved did not shy away from talking about the role money plays in modern big-time men’s basketball, and he also indicated he thinks he will have the financial support he needs to win.
In college sports, you can’t tank for better draft picks. There is no rebuilding once the foundation crumbles. The Gophers are betting on success, which is a lot more interesting than the alternative.

A look around major college sports and the crowded Twin Cities sports landscape tells you what you need to know about hiring new men’s basketball Niko Medved.
