per Sandell:

Deciding to step away was a major and commendable step by Kill. The key now for the 52-year-old coach is to follow through in his pursuit of stifling the disorder in the most manageable way possible. He must do so while avoiding the temptation to unnecessarily rush back to the game and team the 52-year old coach has devoted his life to.

A premature return followed by another game day incident this season would have a seismic impact on the perception of the situation, and whether right or wrong, it would saddle Kill and Teague, as well as University of Minnesota with an uncomfortable question of "now what?"

Kill realizes that. He wouldn't have made the choice unless he felt it was undoubtedly the right one for his own longevity.

What happens next for the Gophers is unclear, but it will slowly be revealed as the next few weeks unfold.

For now, it comes down to time, which Kill now has.
