    Wasn't Williams originally recruited as a LB?

    Roman Voss

    I agree, but I believe there was an era when the outstate players were at a distinct disadvantage when it came to facilities and instruction. I think with the expansion of camps that provide exposure and advances in instruction, that opportunity gap has narrowed. I think the concentration on...

    All Things Gophers in NFL Scout/Prospect Bowls

    I've read a couple of reports from the Senior Bowl and they all mention Ersery as doing well.

    All Things Gophers in NFL Scout/Prospect Bowls

    The Hula Bowl was pretty much closed to the public and from what I read there were no fans in the stands. It was kind of like the 2nd-tier combine with scouts and player personnel staff onhand. Saw the tweet about Striggow, but were there ny reports come out about the other Gopher players did...

    New House Settlement Option

    If I get what you're driving at, I agree. There's a difference between how NIL was initially envisioned and what it has turned into with the collectives. It seems the Ivy League is simply saying "We're not setting up a collective, but that doesn't limit you as individual athletes from seeking...

    Max Brosmer 2025 NFL Draft: Scouting Report For Minnesota Golden Gophers QB

    When I first posted about the Pavia case, folks around here were a bit dismissive of the case's importance. If the Pavia decision stands, it's going to mess everything up. Schools themselves will just have to say "Times up. Thanks for your contributions" after traditional eligibility is...

    Top 5 Golden Gophers Who Played in the NBA

    I think Bobby Jackson is one of the most underrated Gophers in program history. Maybe it was the scandal that makes a lot of people forget about him, but the guy was an absolute stud and one of the most well-rounded players I've watched.

    Top 5 Golden Gophers Who Played in the NBA

    Can't believe he didn't mention Brewer. Whether he belonged on the first team is a question, but he was a very good college player whose talents didn't readily translate to the pro game. Absolute warrior in college. The writer must have been Luke Witte's cousin to ignore Ron Behagen. Archie...

    Gophers hiring Kevin Kane for on-field coaching role.

    Darn it. I was hoping for Johnny Kane.

    Who do you want to win the Super Bowl ?

    Has any team playing these playoff games won their playoff game while while turning the ball over more than their opponents?

    Dep't of Education says Revenue-sharing should be subject to Title IX

    Probably Reason #1 why Congress won't intervene.

    Dep't of Education says Revenue-sharing should be subject to Title IX

    Law (to the extent the action is constitutional) overrides rule, but I doubt Congress will intervene here. I think there's a lot of overreaction going on because this falls into the area of "guidance."

    Official Former Gophers in the Coaching Ranks Thread

    Trestman has had a really solid coaching career. His teams won three Grey Cups in Canda and although his stint as head coach of the Bears didn't pan out (he did manage to finish .500 his first year), he's hung around the game at the pro level for a long time and that doesn't happen unless you...

    Dep't of Education says Revenue-sharing should be subject to Title IX

    OT Board-bound or not, I've had the same thoughts. If US DOE goes away or is limited in scope, which agency is the enforcer in that scenario? It would be like having speed limits with no cops. As bobloblaw said, it likely ends up in court if this were come to pass. Who knows what happens...

    ESPN: Effort to unionize college athletes hits stumbling block

    Agree with the NIL part. Same goes with the pros as has been pointed out. Pat Mahomes isn't limited in what endorsements he can seek and the same would likely be in place for any college players' union. I think the union effort would be misguided to attempt that, but I think what the players...

    ESPN: Effort to unionize college athletes hits stumbling block

    That's my understanding as well. A person doesn't have to join a union (but still get to be free-riders on whatever the union contract has in terms of benefits), but they are still governed by what the union has negotiated.

    ESPN: Effort to unionize college athletes hits stumbling block

    I think we are in agreement. We were just looking at the issue from both the pre- and post-organizing efforts.
