Message: [QUOTE="Gburyhusky, post: 4795722, member: 11572"] I would encourage everyone to watch Mora's presser today completely because I am sure there will be some press on this and it will mostly be negative/alarmist. I think its a mixed bag. To his credit, Mora seems genuinely passionate about winning here and cares deeply about the future of the program. However he also makes NIL money the main focus of everything, and it's an easy way to justify what has been a lackluster performance this season by players and coaches. He states that we need at least $1.5 million NIL each year to compete as a high level G5. Realistically we have no way of judging the merits of this claim because NIL values are not publicly disclosed so, while I presume he is getting his figures from somewhere, we don't know if they are legit. He also seems unhappy that our future schedules have more Power 5 opponents than other G5 schedules, and our fans shouldn't complain about losing to Power 5 schools unless somebody finds a way to bring more $$ into the program to buy players. The reality is that there are other G5 schools that can and do compete with power 5 schools and somehow find a way with G5 resources. But ultimately it's just another excuse and really out of touch with the reality, which is that few fans this season were complaining about losses to NC State, Duke and Tennessee. However when you get your doors blown off by GA State that's another matter. [/QUOTE]
