Although the StarTribune had the original copyrighted article, the St. Paul
Pioneer Press added a few details about this part of the story. The Pioneer
Press stated that the StarTribune's investigation was instigated by the
StarTrib's John Gilbert. According to the Pioneer Press, Gilbert "has been
at odds with Woog for some time" and had been "removed by his editors from
the Gophers' beat twice in the past three seasons after covering the team
for most of the past 25 years." The Pioneer Press article also has the
following quote from Gophers assoc. a.d. Pat Forceia :"John Gilbert's role
and history in this incident was not dealt with (in the Star Tribune story)
and I don't know if it ever will... I know the Star Tribune chose not to
deal with it."
