I take football for TV as a done deal now. My guess would be that the first game will be season ticket holders and the visitor's official party only, so about 25,000 minus no shows for the first game. Spread out as you wish.

We are rapidly coming up on the date the Athletic Department told us they would make an announcement about the upcoming football season. My speculation on what they will or could or should do is as follows: They will need to set a "drop dead" date for season ticket resubscription. They will...

"...hundreds of millions of people rushing to the doctor." ??? Easy there, oh wise one.

I respectfully disagree. Each university will simply put it to their state governor that if the team is not permitted to play he or she, the governor, will need to come up with the $75 million dollars needed to maintain the athletic budget or be directly responsible for the closing down of...

Here is what I have learned in my 54 years as an adult Gopher fan, for what that is worth. The University of Minnesota, located in the metro Twin Cities universe and all that entails, is a very, very dangerous place to play this "bag man" game. Here whistle blowers get Pulitzer prize awards...

I think the video is quite clear on that point: if you legally pay the players $50,000 the best players will just demand an additional $50,000 under the table.

Hey, but when I was younger I would absolutely have missed watching the pretty girls moving up and down the aisles to get to their seats!

That is particularly good news in that I thought Democratic governors would be particularly reluctant to open one part of a state while their core voting block area remained closed. Excellent, momentum is really moving our way!

Best wishes to all the Morgan family.

Mainly, the two things, Gopher football and nursing homes, have nothing to do with one another. One can be safely open while the other should be safely closed.

People have always, every day of every month of every year, died from contagious diseases no more or less lethal than this particular disease. If, like me and my wife, you are over age 60, you should take this disease as a real threat to you and your life. Otherwise, get on with life as we...

First the nation must be brought to the point of total crisis, then the election can be won by the Democrats, then the nation can return to normal. Once Joe or whomever is elected, happiness will return to America.

I agree compleatly. I just think when a person names the sports to be cut it quickly becomes clear that cutting that particular sport will not be allowed, thus, the football games will be played to avoid that disaster, fans or no fans. If you name the sports you think could be cut I will tell...

TV is three fifths of the total budget. This is why I am certain the football, BB and men's hockey games will be played this year even if no fans are allowed all year in all sports.

A simple "we will not know jack until June 1" would have sufficed.

Suggest a cut that you think would be acceptable? Additionally, I am amazed that Gopher fans do not understand how dependent the U is on TV money over all other sources of revenue.

"Oh thank you Mr. Coyle, your message is not only the highlight of my day but will lighten the doubts and concerns of all Americans. We are all in this together!" Better ?‍♂️ ?‍♂️

As football will be played this fall this discussion is not useful. The U, like all P5 conferences, will not pass on $75million.

A nothing update with no update on anything. Thanks for the non update. Next time, don't bother. Go Gophers!!

Your thesis that keeping everyone locked down will spare people Covid 19 is now demonstrated to be false. Look at both various states and various countries and you will clearly see that those who have done the most damage to their economies have done no better with their deaths. I get nothing...
