A few will do that, but quitting on your team mid season isn’t going to move you up on the draft board.

I am pretty sure they don’t get anything until they are on campus, registered for classes, and meet a predetermined criteria for payment. Otherwise there would be examples of high school players taking the money but not attending. Now you have a mess to deal with in trying to recover the $.

And you know of the talent differential because……..?

Ludicrous amount of money for an unproven freshman, or even a proven starter. The NCAA is now the Hunger Games, with a handful of ultra wealthy programs trying to buy success and outbid each other, and everyone else searching for scraps. The next coaching staff hire will have to be someone who...

The middling Power Four conference teams, like the Gophers, are now the Jr. College transfer schools for the big boys with loads of NIL money and other highly paid opportunities. Rumor is that Payne got $500,000:to transfer to Texas A & M. He was t even the best player on the team.

A Parker Jefferson commitment would be nice. But I no longer expect highly regarded recruits to sign with us because they can get big NIL money elsewhere. And if they did sign with the UMN, one good season and they flee for a better payday, like Hawkins and Payne did. That leaves the Gophers...

Odukale brought the offense to a halt several times by dribbling too much. I hope BJ gets that corrected.

Odukale dribbles too much, then turns it over. Got to correct that. They have better ball handlers.

Great list! Thanks for compiling it.

Great list

Do the UMN women have a field hockey team like some colleges? If so, that might be the reason.

Sorry, but if the blown offside call against Michigan wasn’t’ made, a victory wasn’t guaranteed.

Maybe if he committed in the spring so he could practice. But why now? I guess because he is just a big dude, so why not give him a chance. Low risk.

To be honest, in real time I thought it WAS an offside, which should never happen on a kickoff. But the replay showed it should not have been called.

This will be a make or break year for Ben Johnson. The team needs some real success, and the recruiting of high school players has to get better. Free agency for players makes it very difficult for mediocre teams to get better and stay that way, as is indicated by the loss of Gopher starters who...

Gonzaga would make sense for the PAC 12/6, but they don’t play football.

That is an accurate description of the incompetence of the NCAA. I have lost interest in college sports a because of it.

If true, Sanders has not class and this is a race to the bottom. Imagine requesting money from this murderous' misogynistic Saudi regime. I cannot imagine the CU administration gave approval to this.

I saw the Nebraska basketball arena this summer, and it is fantastic! I have loved the barn and its history, with many great memories. But it is a detriment to recruiting. Unless the Gophers can pay more than competitors like Nebraska, or players being recruited love BJ, they will probably get...

I love Williams Arena and have gone to games there since 1960. But I doubt they could do the engineering that would be required to enhance the fan experience. Narrows hallways and outdated locker rooms, too few restrooms, etc. Put the money into paying players now that it is legal to pay “amateurs”.
