    Senators Unveil Details of 'Protect College Sports' Act

    I applaud the attempt, but I still don't know how you get around NIL collectives. If the NCAA couldn't stop them, (and Congressman Romney said they were coming for the NCAA back when this mess started), but now Congress wants to do the very thing they said the NCAA can't do? I don't think...

    You used * for footnotes but then didn't list the footnotes for Diane and Daniels. Why the star next to their names?

    3 Early Thoughts on UCLA's November Trip to Minnesota

    Pretty fair article and probably not AI generated if the only thing I can nit-pik on is 2/4 isn't "most". I'd much rather be MN than the Bruins right now though.

    22nd Ave Station, formerly of NE Mpls. Now it's a thai restaurant or something.

    Summer Visits

    If only the son had paid the taxes, sigh. Instead his woman spent his money and he couldn't pay the IRS so they shut it down. I remember going in near the end and they were selling beer they bought at the liquor store across the street cuz they weren't getting deliveries anymore.

    Senators Unveil Details of 'Protect College Sports' Act

    Good point, I let that slip over my head. But here's an article in USA today that I don't quite get, it mentions the antitrust exemption as a way to avoid lawsuits...

    Start Times Announced for Five Gophers Games

    I'd prefer the opener to be a tougher opponent like @dpodoll68 said, but it would have to be a game that gets us attention, like TCU when they were ranked high. If we aren't going to get national TV exposure, then I'll go with the guaranteed win/warm up game.

    MN High School Recruits

    How in the world did you come to that conclusion??? Seems like you're just butt-hurt because someone had a critical comment about your post.

    Senators Unveil Details of 'Protect College Sports' Act

    Legally I don't see anything wrong, I mean, it's not illegal to cap salaries in other pro leagues. I don't think them being 18-23 versus older for the NFL has any legal standing. As for ethics, that can probably be argued to death with no agreed upon conclusion (cue MplsGopher, Gophers4Life...

    Texas Tech transfer quarterback Brendan Sorsby is checking into a residential treatment program for a gambling addiction.

    So I went and looked it up, there are actually a few picks that went in round 1 (Bernie Kosar and Brian Bosworth the most popular names), Terrelle Pryor went in the 3rd in 2011 and someone from Western Michigan went in the 3rd in 2018. The problem for Sorsby might be the talent in the next...

    Surprise at #4 - CBS Projects Gophers Drake Lindsey to Get Drafted #4 Overall; Greg Johnson 15th

    Wasn't he the QB for Petrino's team that was up to #3 in the polls? I think he went to Michigan first because Mitch Mustain stayed home for Arkansas.

    Who would have made a 24-team field in the College Football Playoff era? Try 80 different teams

    The great thing is that every year EVERY team in the P4 starts out with an opportunity to play for the national championship, regardless of how big or small the playoff is. Just win and you're in!

    Texas Tech transfer quarterback Brendan Sorsby is checking into a residential treatment program for a gambling addiction.

    I could be wrong, but I'd tend to think not being eligible to play would trigger the "force majeure" part of the contract.

    Coach Coldest to Hottest Rankings: Big Ten (14. P.J. Fleck, Minnesota; 2. Luke Fickell, Wisconsin)

    Especially with Matt Campbell at #9. Much, much better chance PSU moves on from him than Oregon from Lanning. That hire seems like that Harsin guy going from Boise St to Auburn. Same with Whittingham at Michigan.

    Iowa State AD’s frustration with Big Ten, SEC boils over: ‘Let ’em break away’

    Yeah, and I doubt the impending idea of competing in track against the same schools carries much weight. If there ever was an individual sport that could exist on it's own without conferences.... But, if he wants to ensure most of the country never sees a regular season Iowa State game, having...

    Texas Tech transfer quarterback Brendan Sorsby is checking into a residential treatment program for a gambling addiction.

    Oh for crying out loud, really? Aren't judges supposed to recuse themselves at any sense of a conflict of interest?

    Your favorite bits of Gopher lore or obscure details

    Watching the ear piece fly out of the Michigan QB's helmet after getting drilled by a Gopher right before halftime, with us up 28-7. October 2003. The dome was rockin'.
