“There’s no reason we can’t be the model program in the country. We’re working very hard on Athletes Village, and we’re so grateful for the donors who have stepped up to support that. We’re proud of our success academically, and we’re going to continue to focus on our academics. We also have had great success athletically. I appreciate how hard our kids are working. We all have to be in it. And when it’s done right, it can be special for this entire state.”

—Mark Coyle, director of Gopher Athletics
