The difficulty is that going to the NCAA is the kind of thing that can renew interest in the program, and were the core coming back next year, would also carry over into attendance next year. Unfortunately, I expect we will lose most if not all of the core of the Traores, Jones and George. All will have nice options. They deserve the shot at NIL money, but I think staying together could really be better for their careers
I never expected the school to retreat. Everyone needs to move in a new direction. We somehow need to get attendance up.
This wasn't even in the realm of possibility outside of some media folks stirring up the pot (on purpose)... Why we're even having to talk about this is crazy lol.
Smitheran confirmed that as well before.
Dan gets his departure on a high note, program moves on. Period (and the program gets a new direction and new energy).
