Fleck on legalizing sports gambling: "brings out even more termites in the wood"
per the Quad City Times:
Coaches and Delany see a need for changes extending beyond announcing a list of players who are available to participate each week.
They see a need for greater education for their players and staff members.
Minnesota coach P.J. Fleck sees that as a necessity.
"Any time you legalize something like that, it brings out even more termites in the wood," Fleck said.
The Golden Gophers coach said his players can expect to hear from plenty of speakers, including FBI agents, about how to avoid potential problems.
"First and foremost, we need to educate our guys on the issue," Fitzgerald said. "We need to make them, players and staff, aware about how far people will go to get information. Do people ask questions that they have never asked before? Guys need to be in tune with those types of things."
Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh has his own solution for players who find themselves being asked about health situations of teammates.
"Turn and run," Harbaugh said. "Run fast and avoid that situation. Say nothing to anybody, especially the people you really don’t know. That’s what we’ll tell our staff and players."
