University of Minnesota Athletic Director Mark Coyle released a statement this morning indicating the school is making a change in the men's basketball program. Ben Johnson has been relieved of his duties as head coach.

The transfer portal in college basketball causes lots of roster changes each year. The Gopher basketball team recently filled one of their openings with 6'6 guard/forward Femi Odukale from New Mexico State.

St. Cloud Tech graduate and Sauk Rapids native, Brevyn Spann-Ford has been invited to participate in the NFL scouting combine. The 6'7 268 pound tight end played college football for P.J. Fleck at the University of Minnesota.

The Gopher football team defeated Syracuse 28-20 in the Bad Boys Mower Pinstripe Bowl at Yankee Stadium in New York Thursday. Tanner Morgan replaced an injured Athan Kaliakmanis to throw for a pair of touchdowns.

The plan is expected to be ready for the fall semester.
