Gophers AD Mark Coyle: ‘Integrity compromised’ by Michigan sign saga

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:11:27 GMT

Gophers Athletics Director Mark Coyle told KFAN on Saturday “the integrity of the game has been compromised” with the Michigan sign-stealing scandal.“The integrity of the game is the most important thing; we talk about it all the time,” Coyle told the radio station during the Gophers’ pregame show. “The Big Ten has talked about it for over 100 years of existence. There is no doubt the integrity of the game has been compromised.”Coyle and other Big Ten ADs met with commissioner Tony Petitti on a video call Thursday to discuss issues with the Wolverines that came to light in early October. Big Ten football coaches met with the new commissioner earlier this week.“I’ve expressed our disappointment,” Coyle said.Coyle said the issue will go to the COP/C — the Big Ten’s Committee of Presidents and Chancellors. Timing is yet to be determined on if and when Petitt and the COP/C might make a ruling on a potential punishment via the Big Ten’s sportsmanship policy. The NCAA ha...

Keeler: Deion Sanders, CU Buffs hosting Jordan Seaton, America’s No. 1 OL recruit. He’s perfect. The only catch? Coach Prime needs three of him.

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:11:27 GMT

BOULDER — Great offensive lines, the best of the beasts, can’t be portaled. It’s the one fatal flaw in The Coach Prime Plan. Maybe the only flaw, come to think of it, short of academic red tape. And the Buffs chucked that baby out the window once they jumped onto the Deion Sanders party train.“They really need,” Pat Ward told me by phone Friday morning, “to play together.”Ward knows his stuff. Now the varsity football coach at St. John’s High School in D.C., one of the Cherry Creeks of the Beltway, Ward is among the leading offensive line teachers in the northeast, a former four-year letterman at Maryland who went on to tutor a half-dozen All-Americans and a handful NFL players. He founded his Ward Line Academy in 2012 and was an assistant coach at the Under Armour All-American Game in 2013.He also was Jordan Seaton’s high school coach before the kid transferred to IMG. If you’re not familiar with Seaton, you should be. For...

Karlsson bullish on Sharks’ future, an old friend has Quinn’s back, and where’s Doug Wilson now?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:11:27 GMT

SAN JOSE – Erik Karlsson said after last season that he wouldn’t have minded remaining with the San Jose Sharks had he been in his early twenties instead of his early thirties.Despite the Sharks having the worst record in the NHL, Karlsson said he remained bullish on the team’s future and is a believer in general manager Mike Grier’s plan as the franchise continues with a rebuild that could last for a few more seasons.“It’s an unfortunate part of the business and the cycle, where the team and the organization are right now,” Karlsson, 33, said. “Unfortunately, the clock is ticking a little bit faster (for me) than I would have liked.“The people that came in, the people that are trying to shape this (are) good people. They have good intentions and a purposeful plan.”Karlsson in August was traded by the Sharks to Pittsburgh in a three-team deal that brought back to San Jose forwards Mikael Granlund and Matt Hoffman, defenseman Jan Rutta, and a conditional Penguins first-round dr...
