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

    That is telling, he brought in Cooper also with about the same results. Guy handling the ball is so important. You can forget it with Patterson in that position. They aren't going to win anymore games.

    ESPN bowl monopoly

    Based on the non targeting call in Atlanta and the fact that they didn't show the replay kind of points to ESPN almost dictating who they want in the Semi's. I'm done watching it's a farce.

    ***MORGAN ST AT MINNESOTA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Johnson playing him out of position to get him on the court maybe, not going to take Mike Mitchell's minutes, whatever it is it's not working, if he go's 1/11 against a B1G opponent they lose.

    ***MORGAN ST AT MINNESOTA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    It's got to be defense and rebounding. The guy can score, might not be physical enough for Johnson, would love to see what he can add as another scorer on the floor.

    Wisconsin Badgers are idiots

    Sounds like they are going to push the contract side of things. If Wisconsin try's to enforce that type of thing they are going to scare lots of recruits away. I had an agreement with my first corporate job based on training, wanted out as soon as the contract was up

    Al Nolen's comments on the FDU broadcast

    It's been a fact of college athletics for the last 60 years. Coaching in and of itself is not enough to be successful. Go back to the 60's. No one could doubt the pedigree and the ability to coach at the time but more was needed and the Gophers needed to move on. A mix of recruiting and coaching...

    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.
