The 2019 Big Ten Media Days have come to a close.

The two-day event spanned over Thursday and Friday and all 14 B1G teams were represented by at least their head coach and three players. Minnesota had a special person in attendance that is a fan of the Golden Gophers. Who exactly?

Fleck’s first-grade teacher, Mrs. Jacobson:

This is awesome. Fleck, as you can tell, had a huge smile on his face.

I mean, he’s always energetic and positive. He has that vibe.

But having Mrs. Jacobson there means a lot. Fleck even tweeted about it. Teachers and coaches have a lot of extremely similar responsibilities. They teach students to be better human beings, for one.

Mrs. Jacobson has apparently had a positive influence on Fleck, and even to this day, she puts a smile on his face.
