Shama: Lou Nanne may head the committee to assist Teague in $190MM fundraising

[BleedGopher]

per Shama:

Don’t be surprised if University of Minnesota alum and former North Stars executive Lou Nanne heads the committee to assist Gophers athletic director Norwood Teague in raising $190 million for new athletic facilities.

If true, good move on Teague's part.

Yep.

 

[MNVCGUY]

That would be a great decision if he is willing because I get the impression he is plugged in with the majority of the high rollers in this town and he clearly loves the U of M.

 

[JMWZ]

It's been 15 years since the University of Minnesota has made a decision even remotely as good as this one.

It came from Shama, so it's probably about as accurate as if wren wrote it.

This is positive on two fronts: 1. Lou Nanne seems like a good choice. 2. It's not Joel Maturi

Maturi didn't need Nanne to bail him out when he was raising funds for the Gophers football stadium. It is obvious that our new carpetbagger AD is failing miserably at raising money for the proposed new athletic facilities. No surprise there. Teague is not from Minnesota and he has no connection to the U. Potential big money donors always find it easier to say no to people they don't know. Teague will be out of here for a new job back East at the first opportunity.

Oh yeah? What was Maturi's U connection? Where was Maturi from?

I'll hang up and listen.

Ah, that classic Minnesota distrust of anyone who's not "one of us."
