Gopher / Tommie hoops

NIL is going to operate outside the NCAA/Title IX system, there simply is no way to require Athlete A to share his sponsorship money with Athlete B, who did nothing to earn or produce the sponsorship relationship. However, the collaborative money (a school fund alumni contribute to at the U it’s called Dinkeytown Athletes or something similar) will likely have Title IX rules apply. Which will likely be the death knell for a lot of women’s sports and not football/basketball male sports. Have 36 athletic programs is going to be tough to fund the athletes equally when your competition or a SEC team make the other sport club teams not subject to Title IX.

Back to the thread…looks like the Gophs got whooped last night. Seems like that dream has died.

To be fair! They ran into a hot Michigan State team thats on like a 14 game winning streak. If they would have beaten them last night it would of been a real turn around of a season.

Yeah I wasn’t so bummed the game was on peacock when I checked the halftime score. Yikes.

I think I am gonna check out NDSU at UST this weekend as I live nearby. # 2 and 3 in the conference should be decent. Tommies 9-0 at home this year.
