per Marcus:
The Gophers men's basketball team's trip to Spain will cost a little over $200,000 and be paid for by the program's enhancement donations fund, according to associate athletics director Chris Werle.
The money will not count against the University of Minnesota athletic department budget.
Minnesota third-year basketball coach Richard Pitino was appreciative of the support his program received in order to participate in the foreign tour this summer.
The Gophers leave Monday for a 10-day tour from Aug. 10-20 in Barcelona and Madrid. They will play four exhibition games.
"We've got great support with that," Pitino said Tuesday of the fund. "It was necessary, certainly. It was important. People who support us, we're always greatly, greatly appreciative of it."
