Hate to say it but I am losing interest. I would really like to be into the new phase of College Basketball where everyone is paid. In fact, I have no problem with players getting some sort of cut but in its current state it is, frankly, boring. What if we lost all our good guys every year...

I say keep Ben and fire Coyle. Its the only way to be sure.

Maybe we could hire their AD away from Texas as a start.

Lets be fair - the NCAA legal team is pretty busy right now responding to the women athletes' lawsuit where the girl athletes are requesting bodily privacy in the locker room and female only competition on the field - to mess around with the stupid NIL issue.

Admittedly, I am not that big of a Gopher Football fan but here is my understanding. Coyle has elevated the Football team from a 52% (Kill/Claeys era) to 59%(Fleck) winning percentage and the trend is down a bit over the last 2 years (I think). Is that respectable? From the football fans -...

I'm telling you guys - this goes above Ben. Developing and Orchestrating NIL is the key to success now and it is not a part of Ben's Job Description. Certainly a big coaching name can help but nurturing NIL falls squarely on the shoulders of Coyle. ...and we are way, way, WAY behind. People...

The NCAA is almost worthless at this point and should be broken up. The conferences need to take control back and just manage their own schools. If a group of conferences takes the next step and agrees to play by the same rules - great. At this point the only solution that I can see is for...

I guess I'm just a simple guy trying to understand how this works. Since it sounds like you are in a teaching mode - help me understand. How many more coaches will it take for Coyle to turn the BB program around? Does he need 1, 2, or even 3 more BB coaches to get it right? Can you give me a...

Were you at the summer roadshow ~3 years ago when Coyle addressed how NIL would change the AD role role? He seemed unsure on how to approach it then and it is clear he is behind and we don't have a ton of hope to catch up to the more successful schools. I am sure he is a nice guy but he is...

He oversees the program, he hired and manages the current coach (proudly btw) the trajectory of 8+ years is way down from a mediocre program back then, and we are getting outworked on the NIL side from no name schools. Football also has dipped (I would guess NIL will hit them hard also) Who...

I am just accusing him of being in over his head - we can do better. It sounds like you are accusing him of being an immoral weak man - I think you take it too far.

The problem was not that Pitino was here long before Coyle - it was that Pitino was here long after Coyle. You guys just perpetuate the problem by giving bad leaders another chance.

I blame Coyle for not building the network, donation base, and collaborating to creatively build NIL to a high level here. We could probably do better with a new coach that could better take advantage of NIL but for now I say keep Ben, fire Coyle.

My guess is that Hawkins was happy with his NIL but then heard that one of his teammates was getting a better deal so he tried to renegotiate. With a limited budget they could not do much so he reopened the bidding process in the portal.

Key word - "Oversees". Do you think Coyle will get it right on his 3rd coach or do we need to wait for the 4th? Fire Coyle!

The only way out of this is to hire a bigtime AD who can sell and manage corporate relationships within Minnesota AND to hire a coach that is a pure salesguy (ala Rick Pitino) that knows how to get the buckets of cash into the players hands. Leave the actual coaching to one of the assistants...

BJ=Coyle Coyle=BJ

One word: Coyle

No, I don't think that is what rivalries are. Wisconsin and Iowa have 100 years of games vs MN complete with obnoxious transplants living here, Governors bets with each other, stolen trophies, and general student shenanigans. Wisconsin sucks! I enjoy seeing them lost to any other team. On the...

This sounds boring at best. Manufactured drama. I say skip it.
