Always gonna be a loose thread in an idea written in a paragraph. But you could set a minimum reporting number, like anything under $500 (or whatever you want that number to be) doesn't have to be reported. The problem with NIL isn't random fans giving a player a couple bucks for an...

I don't think an approval process would be impossible, but you would have to hire a number of employees whos full time job would be approving businesses. If you don't want to go that route, you could establish very strict and clear rules on which businesses are allowed to hire players for NIL...

For NIL I would ban collectives and funds such as Dinkytown Athletics. I would make it so that only businesses approved by the NCAA can offer NIL deals for players and every NIL deal should be documented and be close to the actual value of the NIL. So for example, a national Wendy's ad is worth...

This the ideal, but I wonder with NIL problems if we can realistically get quality at both.

There are already a handful of notable names who have already entered the portal, including Will Rodgers, Will Howard, Tyler Van Dyke, and Max Johnson (UNC) to name a few. Even more will flood the portal once bowl season is over. So, the question is, what should the Gophers do? Do we try and get...

Last one I remember is when we were playing Michigan in 2020 and it was a direct snap to Ko Kieft that went no where

At the time of saying that (2010ish-2020ish), both Wisconsin and Iowa were consistently top 20 teams that were considered contenders for the Big Ten. If we beat both of them it would mean that we had rose to those ranks as well. However, since then both Iowa and Wisconsin have declined. Because...

Last year was also pretty ugly lol. 7-5 Purdue snuck into the Big Ten Championship

I would argue that without Fleck we’d be ranked even worse than 12th. Regardless, I also know that Fleck isn’t going anywhere for the next year, but the point of the post was that we have plateaued as a program and we won’t take the next step until we move on from Fleck.

I was there!!! I watched the entire painful game! But why does Tanner get the excuse of vanilla gameplan but Athan doesn’t?? At least Athan can beat MAC teams….

He had two chances to bring us down field and win us the game and he threw two horrible interceptions. Enough said.

yeah, the buyout is a problem and realistically the U won’t be willing to pay it and pay for a quality coach. Next year is such a pivotal year for the program, we really need someone who can fully utilize the talent on this roster.

Then you look back on Tanner with rose colored glasses. He only had 59 yards against Bowling Green of all teams.

We dont beat Nebraska with Tanner, we dont beat Iowa with Tanner, we still lose today with Tanner. The only game we may have won with Tanner is Northwestern. I think you're forgetting just how bad Tanner had become by 2022.

Fleck has taken us to another level. Our recruiting has dramatically improved and winning 9 games a season would have been a dream to us back in 2009. However, today was another example of how we have platued as a program. I am not saying that we are ever going to be a national championship...

He tries too hard to make the big play. He has to learn that sometimes you just gotta play your role and not try and be the hero

I get your point of view. I just feel like it’s more coaching not coaching guys up and not putting them in positions to succeed than it is a deficiency at a certain position (only talking about offensive side of the ball here). It’s not just Athan either, Tanner severely regressed from 2019 and...

I’m not saying he’s perfect or even that good, but acting like a transfer QB is gonna come in and magically make our offense competent is delusional at best. Athan played fine today and even made a clutch throw to give us the lead with 5 minutes left.

Must’ve missed the Nebraska game then

He only gave them 3 touchdowns and 0 turnovers but yeah that game is definitely on Athan
