Because our football team wins. 100%, nothing more, nothing less.

I 100% agree with this part of your post. Couple this fact with the U being located in Minneapolis and there you have it.

It's finding companies that need tax write offs and getting them to funnel some of it to your NIL fund, rather than do whatever else it is they have been doing with their "donation" money. You also need to use these atheletes to promote your donor businesses and promote them hard.

Right, but then they will fill in with high level replacements. Here were are looking at D2 level players. The winning was just never established here after Clem and now they are paying the piper. Who wants to come to MN to play bball? Really in the middle of a huge city and a university more...

Here is and has always been the real problem with MN basketball. They fired Clem. And let themselves get hammered into oblivion. Flat out that was the day it was over and has never recovered. Had they stood behind him like Kansas, etc has done, he would have gone on to build(or continue) to be...

He's lucky that he even got a scholly IMO. Mid major/D2 talent.

They are all gone IMO. Might keep the 2 guards only because they just transferred last year. Unreal how this can happen so fast.

I doubt it. He's a P5 borderline all conference player.

Mankato State literally wins in everything if you are looking for a local program to follow. The U should have been taking notes from them a long time ago.

No one is asking for anything other than making the dang tournament 1 out of ever 2-3 years and a sweet sixteen run once a decade.

If you can't keep your starters, then something is wrong. I don't know. Maybe it's just time to follow D2 and D3 where the kids are in it for the love of the game. Or maybe more womens sports. This money chasing, zero loyalty, etc just isn't any fun at all. As with everything in the world money...

Just hard to stay a fan of this program. And we will probably end up replacing him with some stiff that belongs playing D2 ball.

Wow. This is a huge blow. I guess I would also fire Ben now then. This means it's just the start, Garcia and Christie likely gone too.

Like zero minutes on a team starving for bench players. So far he's a miss. He might turn it around, but he was billed as a fairly major recruit for us. Hes not so far.

This one was easy to see coming. It's a loss IMO. Not sure why he lost favor with Ben, but hard to defend what happened to him at the end of the year when we had guys dragging their tongues they were so tired...

Why does having a kid leave to be a fringe NBA player help your program? I have never undestood this line of thinking. Selling the program these days has to do with 2 things, money and winning. Kids don't care that an NIT team sent a guy to the pros to be a 2nd round pick. Losing him hurts the...

Put it this way. If the team loses Cam, Garcia, JOJ + another player that sees minutes, Ben will flat out not last. I don't think that will happen, but if it does, it's over for Ben.

Not sure why they want to give up on JOJ. I can see Ihnen, but JOJ is a decent player. He should have gotten some more playing time. Most likely they lose him, but I guess I see some promise in the kid. Too bad.

I took C. Better than the last few years for sure. Still not good though. One thing that really bothered me. The defense relapsing. They were borderline great in that category at the beginning of the Big Ten season, and laughably bad towards the end. Part of this probably has to do with...

PSU game was garbage too. Just so we are clear they(PSU) are a terrible team. You should blow them out in your own building. Expect more, bottom barrel teams are bottom barrel teams. Kill them and move on
