Bubba was already under contract for 2 more years. If you send him home you still pay it.
I had a visit from one of the foundation guys last week looking for donations. Not affiliated with athletics.
He told me that Bubba has been a big boost for that department. He is very well liked, knows everyone and opens a lot of doors for them. Often goes along on alumni visits.
It's been a long time since I was in school so a lot has changed.
I assumed you kept your scholarship through the end of the semester even if you entered the portal. Is her scholarship protected beyond that if she isn't with the team? Or are you referring to other scholarships beyond basketball?
Nice Strib article on Gutzmer. It is probably behind a paywall but it says Feeney and Gutzmer top 2 QBs on their class in MN and #7 and #9 overall in the state.
I know the Minnetonka coaches would be biased toward their guy but they thought he compared favorably with Feeney.

That would be great. He's very talented. Had a leg injury last year so missed a number of weeks and wasn't at full strength for the playoffs.
He has offer from Miami (Florida). A couple of months ago I mentioned to someone on Minnetonka staff that UND probably out of the mix because of that but he said 'not necessarily.' Gutzmer really liked Schmitty and Danny.
Reusse was on Michael Rand podcast this morning talking about the crazy NIL situation. Said he talked with Uelmen after he helped us beat St Thomas in tourney. Uelmen said he loved UND and Sather gave him a chance ....... Not long after he was in the portal.
Reusse then said he talked to Sather at a coaches function at start of NCAA tourney. He asked Sather about losing Uelmen and Sather said something like "I have no idea who I'll have next year at this point. Almost all of my team is in the portal."
