per Chip:

The Gophers likely need a lead donor for their big facilities wish list, and the most obvious candidate is billionaire alum T. Denny Sanford. But that’s where things become murky.

Teague has overhauled his fundraising department with the goal of expanding the donor base. It’s also no secret that winning spurs financial giving in college athletics. The Gophers need to become more successful in their two marquee sports.

The athletic department is planning a statewide caravan in an attempt to reconnect with its fan base and jump-start fundraising. Teague clearly loves this part of his job and said he’s “ready to roll” again after finding a new basketball coach.

Now he can only hope that Denny Sanford eventually feels the same way.
