I thought it would be a good idea to catch with an old friend and Co-Worker, who is still Coaching in College athletics today. I wanting to get the view of a Coach of a non-revenue sport or boots on the the ground as may say. I want to hear first hand if all hell is breaking loose or the changes or just an adjustment for those who work in the today's environment of college sports. I stated today by catching up with Coach Thorton and also, an explanation of his day to day duties as an assistant track at Kansas University. 
We moved on from there to discuss how the hot button topics of the day have changed him as coach having to deal with the Transfer portal, NIL and now revenue sharing. How recruiting change in these days of the Migration General of College sports. 
Conversation moved to a short discussion on the U.S.O.C. (U.S. Olympic Committee) what, or if any changes will be coming for our Olympic teams. 
I asked the question about the hot button topic of travel and if it's being blown out proportion. All I can say is, you may have heard his response come out someone else's mouth in the past. 
We chatted about some former Gopher Athletes and their new and success and also, about two former Gopher Coaches who touched our lives.
We chatted about he is hearing directly from the athletes he deals with about college sports today. I mentioned what I'm hearing from past Gopher athletes. Their response may surprise you.
Lastly, I asked him to play college sport God for one day and you can hear his answer to what he called a loaded question. LOL
