Is MSU getting intimation of being racist for this and is the media saying that a minority needs to be the new hire? I am curious if that is a Minnesota thing, but blue bloods don't have to face that same treatment?

I love one of the comments under the announcement: "He has failed miserably in building funding channels through our big money alumni. MSU is the only div 1 school who has failed to get its most wealthy donors to fund nil."

The fans of every school seem to think they are a million miles behind everyone else.

. Nah, both MSU and MN have been outstanding in inclusion within leadership. Other Big Ten schools have gone the ‘don’t borrow trouble’ route. Sad.

One of those wealthy alumni is Mat Ishbia, who played for Izzo, made his money in the mortgage business, and is owner of the Phoenix Suns. He's given major dollars to MSU already - nobody has done anything close to that for MN.
