per Syracuse.com:
There's no putting the toothpaste back in the tube. The idea of college sports being an extracurricular activity wherein the fellas can blow off some steam in the gym or on a back field before returning, invigorated, to the classroom rests with spats.
Nevertheless, what we witnessed on Wednesday, another example of evolution gone bad, was little more than an indictment.
That Mark Coyle will be paid roughly a million dollars a year in salary, incentives, goods and services to oversee the sandbox that is the University of Minnesota's athletic department isn't the issue, really. He is, after all, a good capitalist with a nose made to sniff out profit.
And, oh, by abandoning Syracuse University and beating that path to those Golden Gophers, Coyle went from wealthy to wealthier with the stroke of a pen. We've fought wars to ensure the kind of day the Orange's drive-by athletic director enjoyed out there in Minneapolis, so bully for him and for his family that has been secured for generations.
