Last night, ESPNU aired the final installment in a four-part series, “Being P.J. Fleck.”
Here are a few of the highlights from “Sleeping Giant”:
The Land O’ Lakes Center for Excellence was a key selling point. One of the first things that athletic director Mark Coyle showed Fleck during his courtship back in January was the plans for the new athletic facilities. During the episode, he even took the producers on a tour of the in-progress athletic center, where he talked about how it represents a substantial commitment to athletics from the university. Fleck also emphasized that there are 725 student athletes at Minnesota and that this new facility will allow them all to come together as more of a close-knit community.
