Coaching?? This is 2024. Not 1994 or our childhoods.

In case you need me to translate:

Ben was developing a rapidly improving team...until the Texas schools bought our players. Etc., etc. There are several reasons why Minnesota will NEVER be a winning program. No coach in the world could win here. Our administration won't allow it. Even officiating won't allow it. Etc.

Is all about the money!

All this crap I read on hear about coaching and recruiting....they may be important but the gophers will never significantly better without a whole lot more NIL money. They'll to be fodder for the teams that have the money.
