As we check in on the biggest stories on Friday, we begin in Indianapolis where Minnesota Golden Gophers head coach P.J. Fleck is answering questions about the allegations within his football program.
“These allegations are baseless,” Fleck said during Big Ten media days at Lucas Oil Stadium. “We have the full support of our athletic director, Mark Coyle, and our university leadership. This is a similar story that gets peddled every single year, and the majority of the players have been dismissed or removed from our football team.”
These allegations came off the heels of the hazing scandal that rocked the Northwestern Wildcats program. Fleck stated that he will focus his energy on the 2023 season and not the baseless claims made against him.
P.J. Fleck is 44-27 (26-26 in Big Ten play) since coming over from Western Michigan. He also has a 4-0 bowl record since becoming the Minnesota head coach and this will be his seventh season with the program.
