Wow. Jack spent more time talking about the state of the NCAA rather than the state of the Hoyas. Sure, there is some overlap, but not THAT much. The success of the program is not 100% correlated with NIL or the "changing landscape." Jack should remember he is talking to some really smart Hoyas, who I believe can see through the BS. I like Jack but when it comes to this, he is in over his head. The team has been under his watch since 1985? Okay, so in 37 years you have 1 Final Four. Let me say that again, 1 Final Four. With that type of record, Jack should recuse himself from dealing with the program. And the past 5+ years have been terrible. A lot of alums have disassociated from the university because of this.
Jack is clueless and in complete denial about how the true fans feel and deserve so much better. He needs to resign and take Patrick with him. A complete disaster!
So Jack finally makes it explicit that he doesn’t want to play in the new world of NIL, the portal, and other resources. That’s fine, and maybe modern college athletics are incompatible with the academy.
But then you cannot spend the money and resources on Georgetown basketball that the school does. Move to the A-10 or something.
I'm hoping this was an intentional non-answer on the state of the program vs. his honest assessment of why Georgetown is struggling. Sure... the landscape of college athletics has dramatically changed, especially for the top tier programs, but paying for players doesn't explain why the Ewing lead Hoyas lost to:
- American University
- LMU
- Northwestern
- Dartmouth (last year)
Problem hasn't been bringing in talent. Problem has been getting them to play anything resembling respectable basketball. That's on the coaching; not Supreme Court rulings.
Complete horseshit and completely on-brand. To read that non-answer reaffirms my lack of hope for the team and the university as long as Jack is in charge. What a buffoon.
Love Pat. It hasn’t worked. It’s unfortunate, but true. Let’s move on.
Jack is the problem. His blame-shifting non-answer says it all. I’d say get out of the way before the problem is no longer fixable, but I think we’re already there. What a shame.

You’d expect him to pull his punches in a public forum but this is a classic inside the Beltway end run. Not encouraging.

I agree, we owe it to Pat. He will win with time and it will happen this year
Blah Blah Blah. Jack slinging filibustering bullshit around. He and Pat need to go.
