Free Gopher tickets from Coach Ben

[UpAndUnder43]

Tomorrow morning at 9am Ben will be giving away 10 free lower level tickets for the Michigan St game.
Per his post NCAA rules apply (no free tickets to recruitable age kids 6th grade and up I think)

Very
The right man for the job
We are fortunate and blessed to have him as our coach

This is why Coyle didn't go out and try to hire away an aging coach....like so many here wanted. Guy who played for the team, was an assistant here, has local ties, and has the energy to sell the program.

What if my 6th grader is one of the shortest kids in his class and plays hockey?? Can I get some sort of waiver?

We can't do this but Texas can pay their O-line $50,000? Interesting times.

No one can give tickets to kids in those age ranges. This isn't NIL related

I get all that. It just seems silly that a school can dangle the carrot of a $50,000 paycheck to prospective players but then the NCAA is worried about tickets.

100% agree. But it’s the NCAA. Logic and reason are not their strengths!

As Jack Nicholson said "I think of a man, then I take away reason and accountability".

Coach Johnson is going to join the Power Trip in their next segment. Becoming a common guest.....once or even every other week on one of the most popular radio shows/podcasts in the U.S. is a good idea. Great way to market the team to a younger crowd.

Any chance this game is sold out?

Sounds like they've sold a little over 10k tickets. A couple more thousand to go!

Is Power Trip really that popular?

It is one of the highest rated morning shows in the country.

...although popular and good do not necessarily go hand in hand (see: Keeping up with the Kardashians).

What if I'm a recruitable 41 year old?
