No inflated at all….fairly basic needs in fact.

$100 - parking $100 - fuel $70 - 2 haircuts per month $200 - basic groceries and toiletries to keep in apartment $150 - clothes/shoes etc $150 - only 2 nights out with girlfriend each month $200 - one night out with position group every week That’s almost $1000 for just some basic expenditures...

Unfortunately, $1000 /mo just isn’t much money to live on, even with room and board being free. My nephew still has to pay for monthly parking on campus, clothes, shoes, haircuts, toiletries, etc….it adds up fast. Some kid’s families don’t have money to send them, and every little bit counts.

Not a bad idea if you can force the kids to not change their commitment once they sign the NLI in August.

I totally get what you’re saying. Down here in Texas, NIL deals are huge, so I’m probably seeing things a little differently. NIL is still relatively new, and I can see it going in the direction of the haves and have nots…especial when the portal enters the equation. I hope I’m wrong.

Where a team like Minnesota could be hurt is when underclassmen have a breakout year, and see greener pastures in schools that have players signing lucrative NIL deals. The portal makes it easy for good players to leave and go make the money. And the flip side, portal players could also covet...

100% accurate. And the current state of Minnesota boosters not coming to the table with NIL money will hurt recruiting in the long run. These kids know where they can and can’t go to line their pockets. Live on $1000/mo stipend at Minnesota, or go make 10X or more at a competitor school? That is...

GopherHole could sponsor 3 or 4 athletes, and do weekly 5-10 minute video interviews with those players to get some good insider info. I’m on Orangebloods.com down here in Texas, and they have probably a dozen UT athletes across several sports that they sponsor. The weekly videos are really good.

You’re correct…they get a stipend. The football players get $1000/mo when they are in school. June and July, they get nothing.

Coming to my first spring game. Flight and hotel booked yesterday. Can’t wait.

I want a blowout, and for PJ to get a bunch of young guys some playing time.

This isn’t the first time Fat Gary has embellished the truth. I hope my Longhorns kick his ass tomorrow.

Ewers isn’t going anywhere with the NIL deals he has in place. He’ll be fine by next year.

Boye is getting worked over by freshmen Tackles so far. He needs to turn it up.

Flying in from Fort Worth for my first Gopher game ever. Can’t wait!

That food all sounds delicious. Can’t wait fir my first game in October.

And the players absolutely live them.

He was widely liked down here in Fort Worth.

I’ll be making the trip from Texas for my first ever Minnesota game when Nebraska comes to town. I hope we destroy those guys!

Possible that ESPN and FOX team up buy UT and OU out of the Big 12, and ESPN handing over certain TV grant of rights for certain schools/conferences exclusively to FOX. It would be a financial win in the long term for both ESPN and FOX. Strictly rumor, but it would make some sense.
