One team of interest today is Minnesota, with new allegations of a toxic culture under P.J. Fleck being release yesterday Jul 27, 2023

Show notes

-The drama never stops—first, Northwestern; then, Michigan; and now….Minnesota. According to Front Office Sports, former Gophers players described Fleck’s program as a ‘cult,’ and the program’s culture is “fraught with intimidation and toxicity”

-There was reference to a “Fleck Bank,” in which players could rack up goodwill to circumvent the repercussions of failed drug tests and other violations. Could be an interesting day for Fleck today in Indy
