As you know by now, Rashod Bateman is officially back, having been granted a waiver by the NCAA to be able to compete with the Minnesota Golden Gophers this season after reversing his initial decision to opt out. In the days since the announcement, he has been sharing his story with the media, and it is every bit the roller coaster ride you’d expect.
On Wednesday, Bateman sat down with KFAN’s Justin Gaard for the Golden Gopher Podcast to discuss a range of topics, including his decision to return to Minnesota, the waiver process with the NCAA, and how he broke the news to his teammates.
