If you haven't listened to the Coach's show this week then you might check it out. It's in the third segment after a pretty cool part on the virtues of our Gordon "Gordie" Sammis,
So Mike Crispino asks this softball question about how it was so great because we schedule Duke 4 times and we have Wake and UAB and other schools on the schedule.
I am pretty sure Crispino expects the stock "Yeah AD Dave is doing a great job bla bla bla".
Instead, Mora goes off on a semi-rant. Paraphrasing: , "Recruits don't care about that, they don't care who we play, they don't care about facilities, they do care about conferences, which is the other thing that is killing us at the moment. What recruits care about is money. What we need is money."
So then genius Crispino says "You mean NIL money?" As if there is another kind of money that Coach could possibly talking about.
Mora says yeah NIL Money. And if we don't get that going then we won't get better players and you can see some tough days ahead.
And then he caps it off with "It works the same way in basketball"
I think it's interesting because the people here on the BY have always held these unfounded beliefs that scheduling "name" opponents helps us recruit (when it clearly does not). And while we may have above par on campus facilities that really doesn't count for much.
Mora of course has no filter. But he is not wrong.
