P.J. Fleck says he took 'major pay cut' to go to Minnesota

Speculation swirled around the Western Michigan football organization all last fall about how much P.J. Fleck was worth and how much a new contract would cost.

Fleck left to coach at Minnesota shortly after taking a loss at the Cotton Bowl with the Broncos in January, but he gave a hint about that proposed offer Thursday on the Jim Rome radio show.

"It's about the dream," Fleck told Rome. "I took a major pay cut to come to Minnesota. A lot of people don't know that."
