Transcript

00:00 Does Big Ten recruiting look different than Pac-12?

00:04 Yeah, I think Big Ten certainly looks different.

00:07 When you look at our schedule and you look at playing the Apple Cup Week 3,

00:13 then you look at hosting Michigan, then you look at going to Iowa,

00:18 then you look at going to Penn State, going to Oregon, hosting USC, hosting UCLA,

00:24 and others, going to Indiana,

00:27 that you've got to understand, going to Rutgers,

00:30 that you are competing with the big dogs that all have big money,

00:35 that are all going to make sure that every aspect of their program is an A+.

00:40 Their facility, their treatment of players, their coaches.

00:46 You're in the big leagues, and it's like an NFL Sunday every Saturday.

00:51 And that's what I've kind of said this whole time.

00:53 You are now playing every single week on the most watched stage, on the best time,

00:59 in national broadcasts.

01:01 And you're going to play on the East Coast, you're going to play on the West Coast,

01:04 you're going to play in the Midwest, you're going to play Central Time Zone,

01:07 Mountain Time Zone.

01:09 And recruiting against those guys that have been established,

01:13 have been doing it for a long time, is a huge challenge.

01:17 The SEC recruiting is mostly in the South.

01:20 The Big Ten recruiting is national.

01:23 And we've got to be just as national against them.
