I get it. Times have changed. NIL. Our team sucks and we should end it. Getting started on the roster for next season…blah blah blah.
But I’m a Pitt fan. You get better as a player by playing. You get better as a coach by coaching. “Survive and advance” tournaments are a great forum for young players to get some PT and learn how to handle pressure. And as a fan you get to see your team play somebody different. And if all goes well, we get some excitement to watch and see if they advance.
Instead our guys are taking the week off and Capel and staff are checking email and watching videos of guys they probably don’t even have a shot to land.
