I think 30 minutes at MSP is tight, but again, 45-60 is doable.
It's less than 5000 feet from one end of B/C to the furthest point in A - not even one mile. Along the way there are close to a dozen moving walkways. If you're off the plane in a decent amount of time and don't stop to smell the flowers, 30 minutes is normally just fine. It would be fine even in the absence of all the moving walkways.
