University of Minnesota student-athletes had a school-record 3.29 grade point average last year and tied for the lead among public Big Ten schools with a 93 percent graduation rate, according to a school report.

The Gophers also achieved a rare feat on the playing field: Of the 65 schools in the “Power Five” conferences, Minnesota was alone in posting a winning record in every team sport, Athletics Director Mark Coyle said in an annual report Thursday to the Board of Regents.

“We make it very, very clear to our coaches, when they start to recruit these young men and women, that they have to compete on this campus academically and athletically,” Coyle said.

I'm sure Rochelle Olson is about to release a multi part series of articles on this achievement.
 

Yeah while there have been low moments, most of the Gopher teams have at least had winning seasons, with some of them better than others. All things considered, the last decade has been alright

Football has won at least five games every season, earned six bowl berths, including a New Year's Day, won three bowls. Plus won all of the rivalry trophies in that span
Men's Basketball has three NCAA berths along with an NIT title and an NIT runner-up
Women's Basketball had two NCAA berths and made a strong hire with Lindsay Whalen
Men's Hockey had six conference titles, a conference tourney win and two Frozen Fours
Women's Hockey had four conference titles, four conference tourney titles, seven Frozen Fours and four national titles
Volleyball has had six trips to the NCAA, with two trips to the Final Four and two conference titles
Baseball earned two conference titles, a conference tourney title, two NCAA berths and a regional title.
