per Marcus:
The NCAA and the Big Five conferences (the Atlantic Coast, Big 12, Big Ten, Pac-12 and Southeastern) are likely to decide in August on how the current structure will be modified, whether it's scholarships covering the full cost of a college education or other student-athlete welfare proposals.
"What's this going to cost the University of Minnesota," university regent John Frobenius asked, "assuming that you go through with most of the initial compensation?"
"We don't really know, to be honest with you," Teague said. "We're doing a lot of figuring in that area."
But the question remains how the Gophers can continue to make strides while trying to meet the financial demands that could come with reform.
"It'll be pressure on us, no doubt," Teague said. "It depends on how much pressure. We'll just take it as a challenge. We want what's best for student-athletes. I think in the end smart decisions will be made. We may have to squeeze ourselves financially to a degree."
