What is going on in college football? First it was Northwestern and now it is Minnesota?

According to reports, PJ Fleck the head coach of Minnesota is facing some serious allegations. There are reports that Fleck created an environment with intimidation and toxicity.

One of the wildest allegations is the “Fleck Bank”! If you do not know what that is, it was terminology described as a system that allowed players to accumulate “coins” that would cancel out poor behavior. So if you were to have a positive drug test or violate a rule, you could put coins in the Fleck Bank to get out of the charge.

Fleck reportedly encouraged the players to rat on their teammates. If they were to rat on the teammates they were given “Fleck Bank” credits.

It is crazy because now telling is blowing up in his face, if these reports are true.

Several players and staffers claim the locker room is like a cult, because of Fleck’s philosophies.

Minnesota Athletic Director Mark Coyle denied all allegations and backed Fleck.

“P.J. and our program are unique,” Coyle said in a statement. “They put themselves out there in new and different ways — but always in a first-class manner — and after nearly seven years, it is clear to me, that is what makes P.J. and our program so successful.”

“I always encourage all of our student-athletes, including every member of our football team, to reach out to me directly if they encounter any issues. To date, I have not heard from a single football student-athlete about the allegations raised.”

This is similar to what happened at Northwestern then the players and former staffers began talking. I wonder if PJ Fleck could be the next head coach fired. We will be keeping a close eye on this.
