Remember, his HS is 20 miles from UMinn and 725 miles from UD. If a kid from Troy was down to UD and Minnesota, I think it would be reasonable to the DDN article to attempt to explain why Minnesota was one of the two finalists.

Eh-- not sure I agree with that one. I think it's quite obvious if someone is down to a hometown team and one that's out of state. On one hand, you have your state school that's an option if he wants to stay home. On the other, he has a school that's out of state so he can do something different and get away from home/MN. I think this was absolutely a put down and is only seeing the surface. "Hometown BIG10 team or 'lowly' A10 team." The only thing MN knows about us is that we beat them a few years back.
