Michael McDonough didn’t make it down state for wrestling. He finished the year at 31-8

I'm not following what this means?
Pretty sure BB is not to thrilled with how the Canes conduct business. Lightfoot is from Chicago and heavily recruited by the Illini. Seems to be mutual distain between the two staffs.

Seriously, BB shouldn't be getting himself involved with this. Now we seem to have a pissing match between the 2 coaches. What good does that do?
He’s just calling out Miami for lying to recruits.

But it's just getting ugly now. Now it's on X and everything is starting to boil over apparently.
I'd rather have a coach with passion; Lovie was basically a warm corpse and Beckman was...*fart noises*
No ones gets less out of more than super Mario…..Bret would be dangerous with Oregon and Miami resources and ethical backgrounds.

Get the Canes on the schedule
I do sort of agree with this, of course when he was with the Ducks he did beat Ohio State in Columbus. That game was simply one where the most physical team won.

I have no problem with Bret firing shots at other staffs. I feel like it's not great bringing the recruits / players into it. I will admit that I am very ignorant as to what the specifics would be, but I see that tweet and I immediately think Bret is criticizing that player's decision. Now apparently that is wrong, but the fact that it's so vague and ambiguous seems like it is more trouble than it is worth.
boy i do not like this. i get where he's coming from but...you are a big ten head football coach in the year 2024, knowing "how this stuff works" is part of your job.
like it or not, this is how the sport works now.
i'm nervous.
Insiders, correct me if I've got the main point or the details wrong please.
I think this is basically BB sayin that U promised this kid a $bag but the $bag is coming up a little light so now U is having to go out and do their version of panhandling their supporters to try to make up the difference to get him the amount he was promised during the recruiting process.
If I'm accurate, then I don't have a problem w/BB highlighting the fact that certain programs are overpromising and underdelivering...especially if we have a track record that we can point to that supports us following through on NIL projections/promises.

With all the AI tools around today, maybe it's just a 'deep fake' ? ? ?
I think you are a little too concerned with a Twitter post.
The point is he knows EXACTLY how this stuff works.
And is calling out a staff that has either overpromised and under delivered or is incredibly shady with how their NIL collective operates.
(Or both ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ )
