Judd Zulgad: President has chance to make big impact on major sports at 'U'



This is going to be a very interesting time for both football and the entire athletic department. Probably will be lot of change at the associate AD level and will be very interesting to see what stance is taken towards saving vs. cutting sports. Continued positive progress by the football team will be vital for Kill to stay on the right side of his new boss and hopefully ensure that he is around for a while.
 

This paragraph says it all.....

Call it favoritism if you want, but remember this: If you want to be successful in big-time college athletics, if you want to go to Jan. 1 (or later) bowl games, if you want big-time recruits to come to your school, then you have to treat your football program like a big business.

And this . . . "One rule of thumb is that the most successful schools list their top five favorite sports in this order: football, football, football, men's basketball, football." Judd Zulgad

Emphasizing and providing resources for your biggest sports venue will create benefits for not only the athletic department but the school at large. People want to be a part of a winning football program. When the football team is successful, the school's coffers enjoy increased contributions. A good thing to happen, especially during these budget-tightening days.

Go Gophers!!
