- Vikings / Wolves / Wild / United / Gophers: It's the quiet part of the summer for our other major squads. Gophers football fans might be happy to hear that the NCAA just approved a new rule giving players five full years of eligibility instead of the traditional four, meaning extra time for our guys to develop!
