Gopher head football coach P.J. Fleck is speaking for the first time about allegations of a toxic culture within his program after former players came forward making allegations.
At Big Ten Media Day, Fleck disputed allegations that there was a so-called “Fleck Bank,” which allowed players to get out of suspensions if they failed a drug test.
“There was no currency ever exchanged. There was no coins that ever existed,” Fleck said. “It was an analogy simply to explain investment for life. A life lesson of investment, simply that.”
Fleck also disputes that players were disciplined by having to do more physical activity, saying that’s something they have never done.
