    Scoggins: Word is Mark Coyle wants to build Gophers men’s basketball. What does it mean for Ben Johnson?

    My point was: how is that possible to achieve when the large majority of our dollars would be from the rev share amount that every school has the same ability to spend the same amount? I'm missing something

    CBS: If Big Ten, SEC programs want to keep fans engaged, they should move to 10-game conference schedules

    A few SEC (Kentucky, Florida, Georgia, SC) and now three Big Ten teams (Iowa, Washington, ... I assume but not certain Oregon) have yearly in-state rivalry games. EDIT: also USC-Notre Dame I'd rather see the remaining SEC and Big Ten teams schedule a 10th game home/away that compliments the...

    Scoggins: Word is Mark Coyle wants to build Gophers men’s basketball. What does it mean for Ben Johnson?

    Every Big Ten school can choose to spend the same amount as the Gophers on MBB, in terms of revenue sharing. Wouldn't it then just go right back to any additional NIL that third parties can muster? Maybe it puts us higher than some Big 12 and ACC (and other conference) teams though.

    All Things 2025 Minnesota Vikings Off-Season Thread

    I will say that McCarthy won't start this season until week 6-10, unless we don't retain either of Darnold or DJones and don't get someone else of that caliber. Otherwise, what leadership is essentially trying to tell the fanbase is something like "look, we're willing to lose the first 6-10...

    Do we get to know how well McCarthy is going to bounce back from injury? :ROFLMAO:

    I don't think coaching staffs are as reactionary as certain message board posters :D

    Five Guys On A Shortlist: If the U Decides Change Is Needed, Aim High & Don't Be Cheap With That Big Ten Cash

    Scoggins has an article this morning in STrib that Coyle wants to invest in MBB. https://www.startribune.com/gophers-mens-basketball-revenue-sharing-mark-coyle-athletic-director-ben-johnson-wisconsin/601231544 Scoggins: Word is Mark Coyle wants to build Gophers men’s basketball. What does it...

    Seth Davis: Ben Johnson has done an incredible job with this team. One of the elite coaches in one of the toughest jobs in America.

    Me personally? Of course I don't know anything. I'm a nobody. If your overall point is that it we shouldn't be allowed to draw conclusions (or get close to that) based on reasonable concepts simply because there is no hard proof .... I just don't think that holds water. Courts convict people...

    Conference Realignment Updates

    In the meantime, Northern Illinois joined the MW for football only (and the Horizon League for other sports). No MW for Daktoas. Probably no FBS period unless they go CUSA? I think they're too far away for the MAC to backfill with them. Illinois State would make more sense

    Conference Realignment Updates

    You updated this post with candidate list. Happy to agree to disagree, but just don't think Stanford belongs on 2nd tier. Don't think Bay Area is "covered" by UCLA/USC. Lot of Big Ten alumni there (tech companies). Huge market. The cons are numerous I'm sure: it's a market that doesn't care...

    2025 high school football thread

    Bolded: isn't this already being done in 2 year cycles. It isn't difficult at all that if you win state title one year that you should be pushed up ... for all of one more year. If you bomb, then go down in the next 2 year cycle.

    Do you think there would be any benefit in adding Stanford over one of the ACC schools, if Notre Dame is being brought in and demands it?

    Bolded: his comment was referring to the time when Ben Johnson was hired. Why did you then switch it to the present?

    Seth Davis: Ben Johnson has done an incredible job with this team. One of the elite coaches in one of the toughest jobs in America.

    You really think Gabel kept an official record of such a directive?? My guess is it would have been a face to face discussion with no paper trail to FOIA.

    Seth Davis: Ben Johnson has done an incredible job with this team. One of the elite coaches in one of the toughest jobs in America.

    I think that's where other people have been laying the blame on Coyle. Like what I said earlier, I think he is partially a victim of timing -- at that exact moment the idea of getting a guy in here to recruit the crap out of Twin Cities major prospects could have made sense. Then NIL and the...

    Conference Realignment Updates

    The SEC is just going to be getting to 9 conf games a year. I think the more likely thing with 10 will be scheduling agreements, say between Big Ten and SEC for the 10th game, alternating home and away to match the 4home/5away and 5home/4away cycles from 9 conf games. An alternate scenario to...

    Conference Realignment Updates

    Wow, massive change from how the current GoR works. Would expect 2030 will be the next round of big realignment: " As a result of the settlement, the penalty to leave the conference has been significantly reduced. The grant of rights remains in place through 2036, but beginning next year, the...
