Three NCAA disasters on National TV platform ,capped off by a 1 seed to 16 seed loss.
Outcome :
1. Destroyed recruiting for at least 5-10 years.
2. Given Purdue a Loser ID despite other successes.
3. Media Platform and focus for other teams to rise up and knock down Goliath for years to come.
I think CMP is a good guy , but his BRAND MARKETING has been hit by a torpedo and sunk his battleship. Coach's reflect a BRAND .....I don't know how he can climb out of this sunken ship and start new, I guess if he takes next group to FF , he might move everyone on in MEDIA somewhere else, but right now it's rough for him and the team.
