Great read from an opposing coach on BM

[dbleagle1]

Sorry, I copied and posted a very insightful X post by Craig Doty (an opposing coach and someone who would know) . It didn't look great but I wasn't sure everyone could read it. Here is the link to the post:

I didn't wanna start a thread on this question, but how does the non-conf scheduling go with a coaching change. Can we get out of any Fran 300+ in the NET cupcakes if he wanted to?

craig doty is a very talented marketer. because of that post going forward he'll be on the radar of every b1g program that seeks to emerge from mccollum's shadow

Unlike football scheduling non-conf games a decade or more in advance, I don't think any MBB non-conf games have been scheduled/under contract for 2025-26, except maybe a holiday tournament. I have no idea what BMac's plans are for his first non-conf slate as a B1G coach, but I will give him a pass if it doesn't look super exciting, since it is his first season.

I read that he pretty much only schedules home games in non conference to get his team's confidence up, so I would guess that could lead to quite a few cupcakes.
