Fleck on Perich: “we knew during the season that he was leaving”; says he received a $2 million package to join the hugely-funded Ducks

One thing I've never thought about is how the number of agents has fluctuated with the changes to college athletics. It used to be only the top 1-2% needed an agent. Now literally every athlete in every sport has some sort of agent. Probably lots of horror stories out there as a result of this.

Perhaps staying loyal to him as he did commit to play a 2nd year with the Gophers. Both parties fulfilled their end of the deal.

Exactly! Treating Koi with respect and letting him play even though he was leaving shows other top recruits that you won't throw them under the bus if they play here for a couple years and decide to go someplace else...for considerably more money. Seems like a good business move by Fleck.

If you want to be in play for top recruits, you have to be prepared to deal with things like this professionally.

PJ wanted to win the Bowl. Perich was being compensated to assist in that effort.

It’s a pretty ridiculous arguments
