Mike Cragg video interview on Red Storm report

Love that Cragg seems to give more honest and direct answers than your typical AD. Also love how accessible he is to fans...he seems to have a sense of humor in dealing with it too which lightens things IMO in a good way. He seems to fully admit we are well behind other Big East schools in terms of facilities and that we are severely lacking in fundraising and donations. I still don't understand how the donations are a big issue when we have so many alums in very cushy gigs and some celebrity alums. Didn't Repole say he would've given $10 mil to the administration if they asked for it or something like that in that WFAN interview? I would never want to alienate a guy like that who could single-handedly boost our hoops program. But we somehow managed to. Even if he wanted to buy influence, who cares? If that's what it takes I do it. Just imagine Oregon severing ties with Phil Knight or Memphis severing ties to whomever runs FedEx. J Cole is worth at least $35 mil...Mullin $18 mil (did he ever donate before his coaching flop?)...Cuomo, Harkless making tens of millions got $40+ mil so far...etc. etc. Just seems we don't get big gifts from our most successful alums.
