per Shipley:
If P.J. Fleck leads Minnesota football to its first Big Ten title since 1967, there are a couple of predecessors he’d better bring up the moment the Gophers clinch. The U’s new coach has a resume that augurs success, but a tour of the half-completed Athletes Village on Thursday made clear that much of the heavy lifting already has been done.
If a recruit gets through 336,000 square feet of locker rooms, weight rooms, indoor football fields, basketball courts, skyways, hot tubs, cold tubs, kitchens, kitchenettes, tutoring rooms and players lounges and still chooses to attend another school, it won’t be because of facilities.
Henceforth, Gophers coaches looking for excuses will have only the furious Minnesota winters to blame, and even that is mitigated by a nicer skyway system than St. Paul has. No wonder Fleck is always smiling.
