    Goldy Gopher in the Portal

    If Goldy wants to leave MN, there is one other college I found that uses "Gophers" as the nickname - Goucher College in Baltimore, Maryland. a D3 school. apparently best known for its Equestrian teams. (no football, but they do play basketball).

    Shama: Glen Taylor: Equity Group Not in Place for Wolves Sale

    Taylor told Reusse that he had an offer from someone who "had the money" who offered $2.5-billion, but that person wanted to move the team to Vegas.

    Shama: Glen Taylor: Equity Group Not in Place for Wolves Sale

    If I want to buy something, and I have enough money to buy it, I buy it. If A-Rod and Lore had the money, they would have completed the deal. This has been going on for years. they knew the terms. they knew the deadlines. they couldn't get it done because they didn't have the money on...

    Are Fans the only Ones left with Loyalty to a Team?

    someone needs to provide some order to college sports. but who? the Supreme Court could - if it rules on some of the current cases involving NIL and transfers the NCAA could vote to adopt new rules and policies - or the big-money football and basketball programs could just break away and form...

    Requiem for College BB

    it's hard to tell what's going to happen with all of the court cases involving various aspects of college athletics - transfers, NIL, etc currently being adjudicated. I see three possible avenues. 1. some of these cases wind up before the Supreme Court and the Court sets a precedent for how...

    Take a deep breath, it’ll be okay.

    other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like the play? FWIW - saw a post from Ryan James. He says that Carrington, JOJ and Payne have been talking to each other for a while. with Carrington and JOJ, it was about NIL and playing time. with Payne, apparently more NIL, because he was getting...

    saw this in another thread - a post from Ryan James (can't copy it to here) talking about the Carrington decision, James said (quoting) This one was the wildest of all when I learned. Braeden thinks he should be making way more NIL money and that is the front of this, plus he thinks he should...

    Shama: Glen Taylor: Equity Group Not in Place for Wolves Sale

    couple of tweets from Jon K from The Athletic on what he's hearing: sounds like a question over interpretation of the purchase agreement. meaning - Let's go to Court. JonKrawczynski Here's what I can gather right now: What this will come down to is an interpretation of the agreement...

    All Things 2024 Minnesota Twins In-Season Thread

    Rocco is all-in on platooning. different lineups for LH and RH pitchers. look at the lineup - one LH hitter and two switch-hitters. Gleeman wrote an article about this for The Athletic with a lot of statistics that back up the strategy. at some point, yes, Julien, Wallner, etc will have...

    Go Get Musselman

    Muss may be able to generate more NIL. but NIL is only one piece of the puzzle. No coach has won - or won consistently - since Clem left over 25 years ago. I think the issues go beyond the coach. to have a winning program, all of the pieces have to line up - the AD, the Administration...

    Go Get Musselman

    my point is that Gopher fans have been having this same argument for 25 years since Clem left. Monson's not getting the job done - time to change coaches. Tubby's not getting the job done - time to change coaches Pitino's not getting the job done - time to change coaches Johnson's not getting...

    not arguing with that. but someone has to identify and hire that coach, and the U has to be willing to pay the salary that would be required. I honestly think identifying the coach is the easy party. getting that coach to commit to MN - and getting the U to pay the higher salary - those are...

    2024 MN High School Basketball State Tournaments

    If the MSHSL ever tried to change the rules for private schools only, there would be a parade of lawyers lining up ready to take that case to court. It's all in or all out. if private schools are members of the MSHSL, then the same rules have to apply to them as to other schools. the...

    Go Get Musselman

    "Hire the Magic Coach" - who can overcome all of the obstacles and make MN a top-level program. should be easy. I'm sure Mark Coyle is up to the challenge. and I'm sure the U of MN Administration and Regents will gladly cough up the money needed to hire the Magic Coach. assuming the...

    OK - let's say the coach is the problem. so MN just needs to find the right coach. A coach who will willingly agree to come to MN under the current circumstances. being honest - MN is a program that has not been relevant in the conference, let alone nationally, for 25 years under multiple...

    Braeden Carrington in the Portal

    could be playing time - could be issues with the Coach - could be wanting to get away from home - could be a lot of things. in the end, regardless of the "why" - this is where college sports are at right now. there are no rules - at least no rules that any governing organization is trying to...

    well, now that A-Rod and Lore are not going to become majority owners of the T-Wolves, maybe someone can get them to throw some of that money into the Gophers' NIL fund - because they love MN so much........... It's a wild sports day in the Cities. Payne in the Portal. Sale of Wolves is...

    Marcus Fuller with article in the Strib: (look at the quotes from Payne just a couple of weeks ago) Progress this season for the Gophers wasn't enough to keep the talented forward with the program. Payne talked to Johnson about his intent to transfer during a meeting this week. The opportunity...
