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

    Players get 20% in the revenue sharing proposal. Seems to me if you fill the Barn at say an average of $60.00 bucks a ticket over the course of the season that is a bit of change that would be going to the players, add the TV revenue, NIL funding, etc. that is that much more. Not going to be...

    Al Nolen's comments on the FDU broadcast

    I think the comment by Nolen comes out because of frustration. If Minnesota could have found a way to pay Payne they would have and he would still be a Gopher. Fox decided to come back after everyone went in the portal

    ***OFFICIAL FAIRLEIGH DICKINSON AT MINNESOTA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    I didn't see the game but the few times I've seen Patterson play he reminded me of Cooper, by nature of the way he played the offense always grinded to a halt.

    A question Coyle/the new coach must answer

    If revenue sharing becomes a reality a middling lower tier Big Ten school like Minnesota is going to have more money and resources than the same type of program in the ACC like NC State. The Big Ten contracts are just bigger than any other conference and will have more to pay players with. Sure...

    A qualifying list of potential replacements

    Jobs in places like the B1G are way more than coaching. Not sure it is even 50% of what's needed to succeed. The current staff in today's environment just does not have what you need to be successful. I still think from a strictly basketball perspective Johnson is better than Pitino and probably...

    A qualifying list of potential replacements

    I look at Payne, he was the best player on the court in the A&M Purdue game. It sure wasn't Buzz that did the developing but Johnson. Has to be doing something right.

    A qualifying list of potential replacements

    All of the support goes to mbb at Dayton though. Minnesota mbb gets a smallish percentage of Nil money.

    A qualifying list of potential replacements

    If revenue sharing becomes a reality the Minnesota job might not be as bad as people think. With the Big Ten TV contracts there is a decent pot of money out there. If this happens though they will really need start attracting crowds at basketball games. The extra revenue will become critical.

    Fire Ben Johnson

    I look at Payne, he's averaging 16+ minutes a game and around 6.7 ppg. Hawkins is averaging around 24 minutes a game but similar points to Payne. Ola-Joseph similar points and minutes to Payne. All for a little more money. The landscape has changed, Johnson may have succeeded had this not...

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT INDIANA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    My understanding is that it is going to come from the guaranteed payout from tv contracts etc.. Currently 100% of that money goes to the athletic department to pay for all sports. If 20-25% of that money in the future is going directly to athletes the athletic department is going to have a huge...

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT INDIANA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Do you think the administration has even started to consider revenue sharing. My guess is that it is going to be an implementation disaster. Lots of hard decisions would have to be made. Massive cuts/elimination of non revenue sports. Not much confidence in them getting it right.

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT INDIANA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    This is my problem with not getting Edmunds as much time as possible early in the season so he would be better prepared. Now when you need him because of matchups he just isn't ready.

    What is an acceptable expectation for a Gopher Men’s Basketball Head Coach?

    Not sure how this is calculated but it sounds like this is the estimated payout of the proposed revenue sharing plan if it becomes a reality. If it becomes reality like you stated how it is disbursed is critical.

    ***OFFICIAL MICHIGAN STATE AT MINNESOTA IZZO LONG POST-GAME HANDSHAKE WITH JOHNSON, POST-GAME PRAISE IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    That is only part of the story, facilitating the offense, getting the team going is probably more important, I hate the way Patterson runs the offense, Asuma is a natural.

    ***OFFICIAL MICHIGAN STATE AT MINNESOTA IZZO LONG POST-GAME HANDSHAKE WITH JOHNSON, POST-GAME PRAISE IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    I don't get that at all. Patterson has had some nice games but he is not a point guard. Mitchell and Asuma are the only ones that should be Hàndling the ball.

    Went to the Vikings game, in town for the week but it was an easy decision.

    ***OFFICIAL BETHUNE-COOKMAN AT MINNESOTA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    I agree, in certain situations Edmonds is just going to be more productive than Fox or Mitchell. He's bigger and is athletic, defensively he will be a much better rim protector.

    Should Ben Johnson had the team foul at end of regulation?

    Should have picked them up full court and waist some time getting the ball up the court, hopefully this would have forced them into a hurried shot even if you don't foul.

    I thought we were the Deepest team we have been?

    I don't remember him making any big mistakes last night, letting his man break free and getting open layups, played as well as anyone. The guy he was guarding made one pull up jumper across the middle.
