| 0:00.0 | Indiana can sort of cement itself as we are no longer this team that's going to be fighting for six wins anymore. |
| 0:07.3 | Malachi Tony, is he going to be ready? |
| 0:09.3 | Dante Moore, he showed improvement, better command. |
| 0:18.8 | What's going on, y'all, but I'll later here back again for another edition of Summer School on the Cover 3 College World podcast. Today, we are talking to Boston College, and that means we were heading to Eagle Insider. That's Mitch Wolfe. Mitch does a great job. And, like, I got to say, you know, you crush it every year for us, man. People listen to this episode, even folks who are not BC fans, who are not ACC fans or annual opponents of the Eagles. So I'm glad to have you back. Happy to be on. Happy to talk about the niche little corner that is BC football that I think a lot of people like to kind of poke fun at, which I kind of blame on the New England Patriots, but that's mostly because I'm not a Patriots fan, as you can see by the penance behind me. There you go. Awesome, man. All right. Well, last year, difficult challenging season for the Eagles, and we were chopping it up a little bit before the call. You know, two and ten, I think we both agree for a while. They were a bit unlucky. And then, you know, as you mentioned, you know, the injuries just were just nuclear on defense, |
| 1:13.6 | and they were unable to overcome that when you're moving freshmen and, you know, people |
| 1:16.3 | change their positions and whatnot midseason. |
| 1:18.9 | They did, from what I've read, commit to bigger financial investment, full rev share access. |
| 1:25.2 | Like, from my perspective, that looks like a vote of confidence in o'brien |
| 1:28.3 | what's your read for more inside the program is genuine backing or is he kind of on like a one year |
| 1:33.7 | lease year i think it depends on who you ask it's a little hard to nail down because obviously |
| 1:39.2 | bc's private schools it's hard to get a lot of information about that when the new basketball |
| 1:43.1 | coach was introduced recently somebody asked about exact numbers for NIL and Rev Share. |
| 1:47.4 | And athletic church, Blake, James B. said, we don't talk about that publicly. |
| 1:50.9 | So that's hard to get that information out. |
| 1:52.9 | I think there is something with voter comments. |
| 1:55.0 | I think they do understand that they were very lucky to get O'Brien, so they want to give him some more support because they're realizing that BC was so behind |
| 2:03.7 | in terms of athletic support for the program. |
| 2:05.6 | And a big part of that is you're getting a change |
| 2:07.9 | in president from Father William Leahy to Father Jack Butler. |
| 2:11.7 | William Leahy was notoriously one of the most anti-athletics |
| 2:15.0 | presidents in BC history and one of the probably most anti-athletics presidents in BC history and one of the probably most anti-athletics |
| 2:19.0 | presidents in all of D-1. |
