Fleck will pay $50,000 to WMU to use "Row The Boat" at Minnesota. At least he will pay the fee in terms of $10,000 scholarships over the next five years. As a Rocket Fan, if I never hear that expression ever again, it will be too soon.

I haven't looked at Minny message boards to see what their fan base is saying. I think it fit the MAC and him as a first time, young head coach. At Minny-soo-tah, I think its bush-league for a Big14 school.

Is it now "just paddle?"

WMU blew it. I would have demanded a home football game vs Minnesota. That would have been worth more than the 50k in scholarships

Probably going to cost 50K to take down, repaint all the RTW stuff they had in locker room, stadium etc... It was everywhere!

At least $50K with all that RTB crap...totally agree that he will be forced to tone it down in the BIG as those kids don't care about his ego...they are there to get their share of the ego pie. Taking the under on 5 years till he gets the boot there.

I would think Lester wanted it out of there. I do like the idea of leveraging some home games. I wonder if the big10 would allow it. I assume the big ten has a "code" to abide by regarding scheduling games, which would have trumped what could have been done.

So...Fleck is paying $50 K in scholarships for RTB? That has to set well with fans at WMU.
