per David:
The job of recruiting high school football players to play for the University of Minnesota likely has grown significantly more difficult in the wake of this week’s controversy over a sexual assault investigation and a subsequent team boycott.
Ten Gophers were suspended on Tuesday, leading to Thursday’s full-team boycott of all team activities. That boycott threatened the team’s Holiday Bowl commitment, but the players had an overnight change of heart by Saturday morning. The players said the suspensions, a result the school’s investigation into a Sept. 2 sexual assault allegation, were unfair and came without due process.
It all adds up to an unpleasant backdrop for recruiting the next crop of future Gophers.
Brad Anderson, who stepped down as Wayzata football coach this fall after 18 seasons, said, “Some parents might not be comfortable about the university acting this way, whether it’s to be founded or not.”
