Kevin King, MA, teaching specialist at the School of Kinesiology, discussed the Gopher Football team’s Outback Bowl success with CBS Minnesota in the article, “After Gophers’ Outback Bowl Win, Could The U See A Boost In Applications?”

King recognizes the significance football has on colleges and universities throughout the United States. “Usually people identify their schools by their football programs,” says King. Although the UMN admission deadline has passed, the University may see an increase in applications in the future.
