Minnesota ran out of ammunition in the Big Ten's facility arms race this summer, and football coach Jerry Kill is tired of it.
While hosting a recruit on a visit, Kill received the news no coach wants to hear: the player picked a different school. But it had nothing to do with Kill. It had everything to do with the Gophers' football complex.
"'Coach, I love you. Your camaraderie on your staff, longevity, I love everything about you, love the school," Kill recalled the conversation. "But this other school, they've got all this stuff.' That's how kids are."
