per Chip:
Nebraska’s football facility features a three-story waterfall, a dedicated Heisman Trophy room and first-class amenities for athletes. The Gophers have a dark indoor facility with holes in the ceiling.
Think recruits notice the difference?
A cynic might argue the merits of facilities because the Gophers have caught or surpassed teams with fancier digs. That’s missing the point. They are winning despite that. And why settle?
The university displayed a commitment to football by building TCF Bank Stadium, and also by standing with Kill through his health crises and giving significant raises to him and his staff last offseason. Those were critical pieces to the puzzle. After this successful season, Kill doesn’t need another raise, he needs the shovels to hit the dirt, pronto.
The time is right to take advantage of this momentum. Their program feels like it’s on the cusp of big things.
They found the right coach. Now they need to keep building around him.
