Since the 2013–14 school year, the only Minnesota team that does not compete in the Big Ten is the women's ice hockey team, which competes in the WCHA. The Gophers men's ice hockey team was a longtime WCHA member, but left when the Big Ten began operating a men's ice hockey league with six inaugural members. The current athletic director, Mark Coyle, took the position from interim athletic director Beth Goetz after Norwood Teague resigned in August 2015 amid sexual assault allegations. Teague replaced Joel Maturi.
