    The Mountain West is in serious dialogue to add FCS powerhouse North Dakota State as a football-only member starting this coming season

    The fact that this statement is true is absolute proof that the SEC/Big 10 need to come up with someone to shut out the smaller conferences.

    Potential Changes to Eligibility Rules

    I just can't imagine how an age-based rule would be a "reasonable" restraint on trade. How could it be "reasonable" to stop a 25 year old from making money in college basketball? The courts have rejected any notion of "because it's college basketball and it's best for the game" type of...

    All Things 2026 Transfer Portal Thread

    He is a big and athletic guard who was player of the year in MN while playing in a decent conference. The Texas Tech team was pretty stacked. As far as comparisons to Treyton Thompson, IMO, there are some big differences. Thompson actually struggled a bit after he transferred to La Lumiere and...

    It'll also be cool that they will be the first set of twins on the gopher basketball team since Austin and Andre Hollins.

    Athletic: College football may be in danger

    The problem is that "players" is not a homogenous group. The average players have completely different interests than the star players. I agree with your assessment though, that scenario does not make any sense. I think NIL will be mostly driven by the star players.

    New Executive Order on College Sports

    If you start agreeing with Stocker, you're cooked. A large portion of NCAA football/basketball fans are right in the Republican demographic and this is pandering to them. Most fans of the sports do not like the changes.

    New Executive Order on College Sports

    I am not going to read the entire 74 page order right now. Maybe I will on my next long flight. Executive orders cannot overturn federal law and almost all the meaningful changes to college athletics have occurred because courts have deemed many of the historic NCAA rules to violate the...

    Durkin is back

    He reminds me of Jimmy Chitwood.

    I like Kai. I really like his upside on defense. That said, I think the evidence is kind of a push. I don't think Kai gets any run at TTU last year.

    How does this program get meaningfully more NIL money for Medved?

    I honestly think viewership is up because of gambling.

    How does this program get meaningfully more NIL money for Medved?

    This is nearly impossible to enforce (FYI).

    All Things 2024 Daniel Freitag Recruitment Thread (Gophers Have Offered)

    The talk was that he made it clear he wasn't that interested in the U and so Ben stopped putting time into him. You can't blame a coach for not wasting their time on someone who already rejected you. As far as Freitag now, if he's interested in coming home, you can never have too many ball...

    Jaylen Crocker Johnson is COMING BACK!

    I was actually kind of worried about this. He's the kind of guy who could help just about any team (athletic, versatile, etc.).

    BREAKING: Coyle Hires Brett Larson as New Gophers Coach

    Yep, you're referring to those urban rednecks? Most people don't refer to people from urban areas by their county. That's county of a rural thing. Your description certainly implies you believe the St. Cloud area to be rural. But we can agree to disagree on where the line of is between rural and...

    You avoid rural places because of white people? Yikes.

    Oregon Dan Lanning: Koi is "football serious."

    I have no hate for the kid and I understand why he did it, but I don't think the bold is some Hallmark story. He's a 20 year old millionaire who left to make more money (and a bigger stage). That's cool, I think of college football more like pro football now. That said, if we are treating it...

    ***OFFICIAL OLE MISS VS MINNESOTA RD OF 32 NCAA TOURNAMENT IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Awesome to the see the barn absolutely rocking yesterday. Even more than other venues, it's one of those places that when empty, it's about the most depressing venue in the country. When it's packed and rocking, it's really special.

    2026 NCAA Tournament Thread

    I have no idea. I saw one angle of it and it looked like Golden and the Florida coaches were kind of screaming at and mean-mugging the Iowa team as they went to the bench and then McCollum took exception to that. I don't know, it was weird.

    Future Gopher Coach Discussion

    No, I appreciate it and I feel ya. Like you said, it's that stage of grief.
