Who in their right mind is giving this basketball program NIL $? May as well light your money on fire. If they hire a legit candidate, the NIL money will be better.I'll ask the question - how much does Mark Coyle really care about basketball? Coyle's #1 priority is Football. Kissing PJ Fleck's butt is at 1A. Pat Reusse says he's been told that almost all of the Gophers' NIL money goes to football.
as I noted in another thread, Dinkytown Athletes just did a big matching-funds campaign - and said flat-out that the proceeds would go to Football and Volleyball.
Sure, the powers-that-be at the U would like to see Men's hoops generate more revenue. But is that really a priority?
Nothing will happen during the season. after the season, Coyle will announce that he is evaluating the program. after a week or so, Coyle will announce that Ben Johnson is leaving as Head Coach, but Coyle will claim it was "a mutual decision." Coyle will announce "a national search" for a new Head Coach. and then he'll hire a coach who is willing to take the job for the lowest possible salary.
and the wheel goes around and around and around and around......
DTA’s campaign was for those two sports as it’s soon to be retention season. I would anticipate a decent fundraising push by DTA when CBJ is let go, in anticipation of needing to sign new guys. Ideally you run that campaign earlier to have it ready, but they obviously can’t do that with CBJ still employed.
