Gambling Crisis Spreads to Gopher ProgramLooks like Wayne Gretzky isn't the only one married to a compulsive gambler. Don Lucia has a similar problem on his staff with John Hill. Hill bet the Gopher team that they wouldn't win their next four games. When he lost the bet, he refused to pay.

If Minnesota players feel a bit cheated this week, they have a reason. Before their series against Colorado College three weeks ago, assistant coach John Hill said if the Gophers won their next four games, a stretch that also included a pair at Wisconsin, he'd get them on a chartered plane to Houghton instead of a bus.
The players held up their end of the bargain, but they're still on the bus this week. Apparently, budget concerns overruled Hill's deal.
You mean John Hill said one thing and then failed miserably at making his word good? Shocking. Just Shocking.
