I'm a life long runner and used to run exclusively in Nike shoes. I switched several years ago to another brand due to Phil Knight and the lousy quality of the soles on Nike shoes.

I hope not. That would be pathetic. They would be turning their backs on the coaches, their teammates and the fans. The ultimate in selfishness, but I understand that is becoming more the norm in a "its all about me" culture.

I wouldn't put too many chips on Coyle's ability to successfully handle a situation like this.

The only downside to the great Bronko story is that in 1955 his son, Bronko,Jr along with Jim Colosimo of Eveleth and Bob Wetoska from the TC's all enrolled at Notre Dame and not the U of MN.

Too many top in state OL played elsewhere over the years. We don't produce many top QB's, DB's, RB's, etc but we do have a fair amount of instate OL talent. We need to keep them at home. We won't get them all, but we can do better.

Why would anyone trust Coyle to negotiate anything of significance?

Hopefully the Gophers can right the ship this FB season but looking at our schedule it will be difficult just to have winning year. As bad as FB looks, Gophers BB even looks more dire. After the cupcake pre conference games, it will get really ugly. And who's in charge of the whole athletics...

Blame our incompetent AD for negotiating this outrageous clause.

I would welcome Maturi back in a nano second over Coyle.

With the realignment of conferences, NIL, the portal, etc. I have pretty much checked out of college sports. I will always be a Gopher but my support has withered greatly.

If the non-revenue sports are totally left out, it will severely impact future USA Olympic teams such as wrestling, T & F, swimming, etc. The NCAA schools have fed the Olympic program for nearly a century. It will benefit adversaries such as China, Russia, etc.

Query...What athletes would share n the spoils? Only football? FB and BB? Female athletes? Many Q's to answer.

Your Dad was right.

Most but not all of the TV revenue is generated by football. Coyle, and most other BIG AD's are blessed to have well over half their overhead expenses covered by this TV revenue....even before one single ticket is sold. Most business people would recognize what a great windfall that is. BTW...

Coyle's statement that football funds 80% of department operations is a bit slight of hand. The department budget is $130-135M. Revenue received from the BIG TV package is about $71M/year or a bit over half of department revenues. Its true that but for football there probably would not be a...

The BOR is merely a rubber stamp on these matters. Market forces drive these decisions. Coach Kill was honest enough to admit that high level college football programs are in the entertainment business. If coaches were paid like ordinary teaching professors, their salaries would be a fraction...

There is almost zero evidence in her career regarding how she will regard our sports programs. We'll just have to wait for the results.

The weather was always consistently nice in the Dome.

We have a tough schedule next year. I try to be optimistic and hope for the best but I suspect a record something like the '23 season, maybe worse.
