per this MN Daily Q&A:
The football spring season is underway. Anything you’ve noticed from them since we talked in January?
There’s a sense of urgency and excitement obviously, with [head coach P.J. Fleck] being a new coach. He gets to have his first practice, so I’m sure he’s excited. I had a chance to talk with him [Tuesday] afternoon. He’s excited to be out there and have a practice and spend time with those students. I think our students are excited. I know coach Fleck, our new coaching staff, is excited to get practice started and to continue to build on the momentum we have in place and keep moving forward.
There was a report Fleck had communicated with a former player. Did you take that seriously? Note: This question was asked before it was reported Minnesota would be self-reporting a NCAA violation.
What was interesting about that is they were all anonymous sources and that type of deal. We’re not recruiting any students from Western Michigan. There’s all these anonymous stories and so forth, and we’re not recruiting any students from Western Michigan.
How did you respond to the report?
Every day, information comes across your desk. I can tell you, when information comes across our desk, we want to make sure we understand what that information is and most importantly, we react on any information that comes across our desk. Again, we didn’t see any recruiting of student athletes. We’re not recruiting anyone from Western Michigan and we move forward from there.
