Fleck is a good coach. The west being better than it has been is good for the B1G. The B1G east has been a top two division in CFB for a while now while the west has been very underwhelming outside of Wisconsin and at times Iowa. Good for Minnesota.
It's not - or PJ Fleck wouldn't be 8-0.How is the west better than it has been previously?

Reading the tea leaves here I'm guessing he's not very confident that his team will beat Penn State, making signing now while unbeaten a priority.
I would think a complex contract negotiation like that is something that would have been in the works awhile. Possibly he did try to speed it up some though in case he takes the L Saturday.Reading the tea leaves here I'm guessing he's not very confident that his team will beat Penn State, making signing now while unbeaten a priority.

This. And the winner of the East will demolish the West in the B1G championship game. Take it to the bank !!!!!It's not - or PJ Fleck wouldn't be 8-0.
The only decent team in the West is Wisconsin and maybe Minnesota and possibly Iowa - not sold on them as their offense sucks and have a statue at QB. I guess we'll find out about Minny on Saturday. My prediction PSU 34, Minnesota 17.Yep
The teams in the West right now are probably as bad right now as they have ever been - as a group (which has a lot to do with why UMinn is 8-0.... but I don't want to denigrate what they have done, which is commendable none the less).
The west is the best...
Good for him and glad that Minny is able to keep the coach they want. He’s too cheesy for my liking but it’s a win-win for them.
He didn't say the west is better than it was previously. He said "The west being better than it has been is good for the B1G". I think his point is, Fleck is making Minny better. Minny being better makes the west better, which is good for the B1G.How is the west better than it has been previously?
He probably just had more time to deal with it given the off week. I doubt if one game makes any difference. It shouldn’t.I would think a complex contract negotiation like that is something that would have been in the works awhile.

Totally meaningless if a big boy blue blood program wants him. They have tons of $ to blow his contract up.

The "west" is like 5 years old. He said the west is better than it has been - which, given a 5 year history, would mean "better than ever". That's not close to accurate imo.He didn't say the west is better than it was previously. He said "The west being better than it has been is good for the B1G". I think his point is, Fleck is making Minny better. Minny being better makes the west better, which is good for the B1G.
It is all the mid-west to me.The west is the best...
If Fleck is worth $4.6 million than Franklin is due for a B1G raise
Jim Morrison saw that even in the 60's......
Yeah!! Confidence levels are high!!Smart by Fleck. He knows a SHIT. STORM. ASS. BEATING. is coming his way on Saturday.
I will bet you 100 , gophers aren't losing 3 of next 4. They aren't losing against northwestern. Wisconsin still has no passing game opponents needs to worry about. Minnesota proved last year, & northwestern heck almost beat Wisconsin but lost due to no offense. All one has to do is dare Wisconsin to throw & shut down Wisconsin run gamePossibly signing before losing 3 of the next 4 games
Except that his $10mm buyout is really $20mm.
