    Notre Dame to the Big Ten?

    I suspect the big ten is actively negotiating terms and conditions for admission of Notre dame with an end of July deadline. and I would pretty much bet Stanford is going to be part of the package that brings in the Irish. And if these negotiations fail, then I could see the big ten banning...

    Lou Hudson elected to Basketball HOF!

    I was a kid on the prairie listening to gopher basketball games on Scratchy radio that faded in and out depending on weather conditions. I thought I remembered him breaking his shooting hand so checked out his bio. His senior season year he broke his right hand, missed seven games, and came...

    Minnesota and NIL

    I don't know the reason for brown transfer (it was officially pre-NIL) but seems more than a coincidence that Spartans announce NIL payments to players within a few months and brown is on the payroll. Moreover Spartans have been very aggressive going after transfers.

    Minnesota and NIL

    Minnesota lost LB Itayvion brown to Michigan State last year which has an NIL deal with a booster/former athlete that gives Spartan players $500/mo. If we can't match that number, we lose players to Michigan State. MSU added 14 transfers last year from Power 5 schools around the country so I...

    Official 2023 Gophers Football Recruiting Thread: Links, Tweets, Videos, Rumors

    Both Michigan and Michigan State have relationships with INFLCR to help facilitate NIL deals between athletes and interested boosters, organizations, etc. As far as I know, Minnesota does not have a third party coordinating deals between athletes and boosters or companies. NIL is the future...

    Minnesota and NIL

    Not sure on the proper legal term here (deal, agreement, partnership) and how that legal arrangement works, but the outcome remains MSU athletes are receiving NIL funds from United wholesale mortgage.

    What is the going rate for athletes receiving NIL funding? What are the payouts at other Big Ten schools? I can confirm that football and scholarship athletes at Michigan State are getting $500/month.

    All Things P.J. Fleck Rumor Mill Thread - Listed as Candidate for Other Jobs

    I highly doubt fleck would get anything more than a cursory look from Michigan if the job opens up. Michigan has this thing called Michigan Man that it looks for in coaches and the only time in recent years it looked outside envelope, it ended up with RichRod which was doomed from the start. Of...

    Just checking while loading the car and preparing to head south: is anybody surprised Iowa and Penn state are losing? Nothing at QB! (We have to get better play at QB, I don't care how nice a guy Morgan is.) Penn state playing today is just galling - that should have been the gophers. Ohio...
