per Mason:
As University of Minnesota athletic director Mark Coyle sat in his corner office of the new Athletes Village building less than a week before the Gophers home opener, he was interrupted by tubas.
The school’s band marched by on its way to practice, passing by the second-floor windows of Coyle’s office en route to TCF Bank Stadium. The blare of the big brass instruments briefly stopped Coyle mid-sentence as he talked about the school’s new $166 million facility for its student-athletes and the impact he hopes the building has on Minnesota’s athletic and academic success.
“It does have an impact on recruiting,” Coyle said, just as the low notes of the tubas cut him off.
The Athletes Village, complete with all the bells and whistles imaginable, isn’t the only thing helping the Gopher football team land recruits. Coyle gives plenty of credit to second-year head coach P.J. Fleck and the energy he’s helped inject into a program in need.
