On This Date in Minnesota History: December 12


December 12, 1971 - The University of Minnesota announced that Paul Giel would become the director of athletics. “He took on the job knowing that the sports department was $500,000 in debt, but he was able to turn the debt into a surplus during his 16-year tenure. The Gophers won a number of championships during the years that Giel directed the athletic program: two national hockey titles, three Big Ten baseball titles, three men’s gymnastics championships, and a men’s basketball Big Ten championship.”
