Change is difficult. Change is uncomfortable. Change can be ugly. But sometimes change is necessary. The University of Minnesota and its Athletic Department are currently going through a change. The Star Tribune’s Chip Scoggins wrote a nice article on the philosophical shift taking place within the Athletic Department. Please give it a read if you haven’t.
In my opinion, Minnesota has/had reached a critical juncture when it came to the two main revenue sports, football and men’s basketball. I am/was of the opinion it was time for the school to either push their chips all in and play to win or stick with the status quo and just come out and admit they are content being mediocre.
