I keep hearing that the NCAA should have done something sooner. The NCAA and the Universities don't mind this new system at all. They found a way to get the players paid, without them paying!! The Gophers make 100M on the BTN contract (or whatever the figure is) whether they field a...

This could be one of those scenarios where Hawkins knew he was going to enter the portal, but wanted to wait for his last installment to be paid before giving Ben and the team the bad news?

True, it is strange. The GM can be hired by the university directly though. The U has plenty of money to spend on a coach or GM, whether they prioritize it or not is up to them, but they have money.

The U and really all D1 college teams now, need to have a GM position.

Completely speculating, but for JOJ to go from playing major minutes to almost nothing, with no injury (the late season concussion aside) something had to happen at practice or in the locker room. I could see a scenario where JOJ and BC were both unhappy about their roles and decided together...

I agree; however, the money that the students deserve, should come from the money that they generate.

This is my biggest issue with the NIL thing. The NCAA and the universities are making billions, but we need to donate our money to DTA to try to lure recruits in hopes that we can field a good team and make the university more money! It's so backwards.

I think this would be a good sign. Why tease it, if you're going to be done? or maybe he has gas?

could a big booster cut a deal with the university to share in any team profits?

Right! I need to know what kind of sly smile this was. Sly, like, “dude it’s over, I’m gone” or sly like, “just wait, there’s some good news coming”!

I had a good run, held the top spot for one day!

I had a different question about that same play. I saw it was slightly blocked, so at that point it's off Butler, but it clearly bounced in bounds and then Payne goes after it to save it, seems like he touched it, then wouldn't it have been off Minnesota, last touched by Payne?

I'm sure it was mentioned before in the thread, but I was surprised to see JOJ get some run yesterday. I thought the team played hard, and it was a really fun game to watch. I really think our double team on defense needs work. It almost seems like they hesitate and aren't sure if they...

I went to one right around that time too. It was $5!

Getting a win against MSU, and beating them twice in a season would be fantastic! Huge game, maybe it's just me, but winning this one would really change the way I feel about the team moving forward. I need to see that this team still has some fight left in them! Let's go boys!!!

I saw it was reported that JOJ had concussion symptoms. I was watching him during the game, he looked like he was bored, not interested in the game at all. Are the players getting these concussions in practice? I would be shocked if JOJ was on the team next season.

Heading into the game now! Let’s end the regular season with a win! Momentum into the B1G tournament.

He has an unbelievable knack for knowing just when to leave his man to help on defense and go for the block. I LOVE when he flies in for a two handed block!

This was my take on it too. It sounded more like trying to sell the guys that are here and get them to stick together for what could be a good year next year. I did not listen to the podcast, but was it possible the quote was just making the statement that no one will want to play us, like...

My wife and I will be at that game too! Northwestern is in our area these days so I don't get to see the Gophers play much in person, really looking forward to it. Hope they have a chance to make it a winning conference record at that game.
