MSU will replace Augustine with a first round superstar goalie. JFC. People actually think the Gopher NIL is anywhere close to MSU and UM's.

I think for your sanity you should probably take a break from the hockey discussion for awhile. At the rate you are going your liable to have a breakdown. It’s entertainment for gods sake. Your life shouldn’t revolve around it.

In the NIL/CHL age, the probability of the Gophers winning titles is lower than it's been since the pre Brooks era. It sucks. Sort of feels like being a Gopher football fan but not that horrible.

The way you phrase things is fricking ridiculous. Find me one quote. One. Where anybody on this board claims to know that the Gophers NIL is the same as MSUs'. There have been a few people, myself included, who state that nobody knows what the NIL funding is. I stand by that.

You use the "no one knows" angle because you're either too blind or too much of a homer to know we don't need to see the data to know all the rumors we hear are true about MSU having tons of money from guys like Magic Johnson and the Gophers having squat because they can't even get their hockey collectives off the ground.

Look at the quality of recruits in the last couple years. Minnesota has been left in the dust.

Let's state it another way:
Do you believe the Gophers have anywhere near the NIL of MSU? You won't answer it, you can't even say what you believe.

I use the "no one knows" angle because... no one does know. Including you. If the sole factor in determining where recruits sign is money, then yeah it would be safe to assume that we have less. But you say Bob is a terrible recruiter and terrible coach. You say the assistants suck. You say players don't develop here. You say that the University sucks academically. You say that the campus now sucks and nobody would want their kid to go here. If all that is true, is it not possible that those are the primary factors? Seems to me if all that was true, then our recruiting classes would suck big time, no matter how much money we had. More importantly, if all that was true, why would you still be a fan? You really should get the hell out of here and buy a BU sweater.

Yes, I believe that MSU likely does have more NIL funding devoted to hockey. I have never said otherwise. But I don't know that to be a fact and I don't know the magnitude of the difference. Nobody does, yet you claim to. Make you happy?

And btw, you didn't answer my question about finding a single quote on this board from someone claiming to know that Gopher hockey had as much NIL funding as MSU. You won't answer that because you can't.
