NIL money doesn’t come from the team or the school. The bargain: NIL money is a royalty paid by a third party in return for the right to use a player’s name, image and likeness. It is not a wage paid for playing in a college football game.

Looks like WI QB Braedyn Locke is also in the portal. Must be a new big-time QB transferring into Madison … or maybe the wheels are coming off.

Right. Not a penalty. Just a "dead ball" call. An invalid fair catch signal, which typically slows down, disorganizes or even momentarily freezes the punt return coverage, simply stops an offending punt reception from being advanced. GHer's shouldn't worry if they can't understand this concept...

Consumer fraud cause of action?

Sounds as though he is in it solely for himself. Not a team guy. Wouldn't doubt would be a toxic presence on a team of otherwise unselfish players.

Belicheat won't want players wasting time on attending classes or otherwise participating in normal college activities.

Malachi Coleman is a freak athlete, and only a freshman, so probably a great get for a developmental team like the Gophers, if he is amenable to development. He's a Nebraska kid, and Nebbie fans were ecstatic that he stayed home. He should've been a Koi Perich type. But he didn't get a lot of...

Under the current state of affairs in college football, our big cats, Koi and DT, are currently in the barn and simultaneously out of the barn. The barn belongs to a guy named Schrödinger. It’s complicated.

There is no guarantee that any player currently on the Gopher team will return to play next season. US Constitution forbids involuntary servitude (except as a punishment for crime). Best evidence is what players say themselves—an honest indication of current intent. Keeping my fingers crossed...

Jordan Nubin, RB, is in the transfer portal ..

Been a while since the Gophs have had a deep threat at WR. If Lindsay is the future, a guy who can chuck the ball a long ways, would be nice to have a deep threat who he has connected with many times in HS. Key to explosive plays—passing and running—is to stress the D by stretching the field of...

Quinton Joyner, USC RB who had some really good performances, is in the portal. 90th ranked player in nation coming out of high school—high four star. Shifty and fast. Probably looking to move upstream, to a CFB contender—or maybe upgrade NIL money—but you never know.

With Ersery, Carroll and Cooper all moving on, might be worth taking a swing at Gentry. Highly-rated player who got beat out while injured. If he is interested and would like to stay in the B1G, he could add some needed experience and maturity to the 2025 OL.

Interesting to see if Ersery plays, given his injury in the WI game. If Brosmer, Jackson and Spencer all play--Jackson is only possible opt-out in the group, I assume--I like our chances on offense. I assume Carroll, Walley, Robinson and Henderson will all play, for the reason you cite. Is...

I like the destination and the opponent. On paper, this is a toss-up game for me. Easy win? Remember, the Gophers have two opponents in every game: the other team and ... themselves. The Gophers dug deep and found a way to lose to UNC; they choked and made huge mistakes in the first half...

Came as a preferred W/O, I think. Saw field a lot; more in 2023 (w/ all the LB injuries) than 2024. Not sure if he was ever a scholarship player. Deserved to be, but the math is tough.

Lot of quality players from Arkansas team entering the portal. Wonder what's up?

Only a sophomore. Already has slightly better numbers--earned in the B1G--than Marcus Major did after 4 years, I believe. Seems like a good chance to take!

Emmett Johnson fits current Gopher RB mode: He is an effective, hard-nosed runner and has a lot of quality receptions out of the backfield. Very good receiver. Finishing up his sophomore season in the B1G and easily at the Marcus Major level, IMHO. Would have another year of eligibility after...
