Bud won 9 letters as a Gopher. Freshmen were not eligible when he was in school or he most likely would have had 12 letters as a Gopher. Great athlete and coach. RIP, Bud.

Its one of AD Coyle's primary functions to raise money and pay off debt of this kind. So far, he doesn't get a passing grade.

No surprise that Oregon has deep pockets as their key benefactor is Phil Knight, a founder of Nike and an Oregon track alum. He has spent serious money on Oregon athletics. I don't doubt that Bucky is enjoying some of that loot.

Totally agree with you on Coyle. He is a weak stick. The Stadium and Athlete's Village were alll done under someone else's watch. What has he done to pay off our debt? Also, he is the recipient of the largest TV package in the U's history. The revenue alone from the projected TV income...

I am in agreement with Gold Rush. The honeymoon is over. We have huge personnel losses next year. Who replaces Mo? The OL line returns two of five starters and our right tackle who returns has not exactly been stellar. Our WR corps has failed to deliver. The defense will be decimated. PJ...

Its disgusting to realize how much Kirk has owned PJ.

Not surprised considering current administration at the U.

This may have a negative impact on scholarship contributions from ordinary donors who will be making less $$$ than some of the prized athletes.

NIL will continue to screw up college sports until some reasonable solution is found. Who would want to donate to an athletic dept where some of the players (donees) make more than the donors? I, for one, will not play that game anymore (pun intended).

NIL opens the field to bagmen and athletic pimps. Minnesota will be a loser in this scenario. The money will go almost exclusively to the high profile, top end athlete while the 3rd team OL who is in the weight room every morning, at practice every day, etc will get zilch. Only his mother...

Years ago when I was at the U, a few of the very top athletes got some gifts but that is a mere pittance to the many thousands and even millions some are getting today. Its night and day. Still, then as now, the money will flow to a chosen few while the 3rd and 4th team football lineman, for...

Totally agree. Badger and Hawkeye fans can be difficult but I have found the Nebraska fans to be respectful whether they win or lose.

These high salaries are a sign of the times and are market based. How things have changed since Murray Warmath was paid $25.000 per year in 1960 when the Gophers won the national title. The Gophers routinely had larger crowds then than now. TV revenues over the years has changed the...

Market based pay for college FB coaches is getting out of hand. But that's the reality.

I don't think these results fit the Gophers definition of ELITE.

I agree he's better than Norwood Teague, but ranks well behind Maturi and Tom Moe IMO.

You're right. The TC's have been the media's poster boy for crime.

No way would I consider Mexico. I have done business there for decades. Crime, cartels, major corruption, etc. are the norm. Really would be a bad choice.

If you pay them, would be classified as employees and have the right to join a union? Think of the fun that would bring. Think teachers' union in Chicago for example.

Two SEC schools will vie for the national title and bragging rights for their conference.
