There are a lot of compelling opinions in this thread, and that’s OK.

What I’d like to see is a paradigm shift from the top down in the UM administration to make a commitment to shift the culture of the entire athletic department, a complete makeover to the front porch if you will. Someone heading the department with vision and the ability to find and collaborate with others to strive for and achieve higher goals. Step up to the plate, take some big swings and get after it.

I’m not saying that would vault the Gophers into blue blood status. We know what the current ceiling is now, and if you’re fine with treading water like that, OK. I’m not OK with it, and my NIL contribution isn’t going shift the culture.

The players have to submit the deal to NiL Go, not the schools. Fewer than 20% of NiL deals are even getting submitted. Please don’t bring this up again until a player has been suspended for bypassing NiL Go, it has no teeth

Imagine actually thinking that this is anything more than Tony Soprano being a waste management consultant. Nobody realistically believes there is any real enforcement going on here. It's still 100% pay to play.

Agree. There are a number of factors and top notch coaches are one of them.

Do you, or do you not believe that we need considerably more money to pay players?

Bold: she could have made that decision for 10x less than that. Who's to say for sure? I don't trust anyone who just claims it without showing the receipts, as the kids say. What do they have to hide?

I can say with 100% certainty, that I am not transferring from Prestigious school and successful team to crap like that for 10x less.

Yeah, I don't think too many would transfer from Stanford to Texas Tech unless there was life changing money involved, and even then when you look at future earning potential, it might be a stretch.

If Mn wants to compete for titles, of course. That's one factor.

Do you agree Mn administration has to LEAD on getting $$$for coaches and players?

Do you agree Mn administration intentionally neglected athletic programs, specifically fb and bb, for decades? Good grief, this is so obvious.
