Now how come the men's team lost all starters and still managed to win by 20 on the road against a d1 opponent. Defense. Yet the football team cannot even win one road game this year. Mind boggling!
In addition to defense, there are a few more reasons.
A Head Coach & Staff who have embraced the transfer portal since day 1 rather than view it as a bad thing.
A Head Coach & Staff who know how recognize & recruit talent from any level (high school or portal)
A Head Coach & Staff who also had the foresight to realize that Name, Image and Likeness are the keys to attracting & retaining players. Again, rather than viewing it as a bad thing.
Say what you want, but great thing about NIL is EVERYONE can have a true voice and directly impact the rosters by contributing to NIL. If everyone on this board sent $50 or $100 to The Penguin Collective
https://www.thepenguincollective.org/, DP will be in a better position to assemble his next roster - which is already happening.
As difficult as it is to step back from emotions of yesterday's football embarrassment, now is the time to step up with your wallet if you want a better football roster next year. The alternative will simply be more of the same - or worse.
Basketball raised nearly double what football did in NIL for this season. Using the last few seasons and the benchmark, it's easy to see why we are now a basketball school.
