Yep, Minnesota's AD actually cited Bruce's mishandeling of the situation when they announced a plan to raise money to prevent cutting the men's and women's golf programs at the U. By getting ahead of it and telling the public that they may have to cut the sport if the money isn't raised, they were able to get more than enough money to fund the programs for many years.
