Quote of the day
“We have to get that fixed. I have a plan. It’s not something amazing. We just have to be better at communicating with all constituencies. We have a great infrastructure, but we’re not supporting it the right way.
“The coaches are on an island. The donors are on an island. I believe we will have the best NIL situation in the country, but it’s going to take time.”
