Podcasts about big east

There's a quote in psychology I keep coming back to: the core of optimism is resilience. I've thought about that quote for years, and this week, sitting across from Rutgers head coach Greg Schiano, I had a hunch that that very quote would resonate with him. So I did the only thing I do in these Y-Option podcasts: ask questions I don't know the answer to.I've known Coach Schiano for over 20 years. First as a wideout at Pitt, then these last couple years covering Big Ten football. This conversation, though, was different because I was embedded within the Scarlet Knights program for the day and what a day it was.I got to sit in on his team meeting, watch Coach Schiano look his players in the eyes and bridge a football lesson to a life lesson in the same breath. And at the end of an epic day with the team, staff and program he and I sat down, and Coach Schiano took me all the way back to where his leadership began: his kitchen table. And that is where today's Y-Option podcast, fueled by our founding sponsor 76, keeping you on the GO GO GO, begins.Coach Schiano grew up in an Italian household in Paterson, New Jersey, where his parents taught him and his three siblings one thing above all: you get up, you go to work, and some days it isn't pleasant but you keep showing up. The standard, even before it was ever spoken, was simple — no matter what, protect your family.That's not a throwaway line for him. It's the whole building now. “Family is everything to me in this building,” he said. And he means it literally, as he's now recruiting the sons of players he coached at Rutgers when they were in the Big East while currently coaching with his own three sons on this year's staff. Full circle doesn't begin to cover it.This is the line that stuck with me most: “You can have a goal and at the same time have a purpose.” Greg's goal is a national championship at Rutgers. His purpose is different.He is driven to make sure that the young men who walk into the Rutgers program leave as grown men. Husbands. Fathers. People who can figure it out when nobody's telling them what to do next. In this era of players getting paid, transferring and being told things from others that may not be accurate I have to say that watching Coach Schiano teach his players the realities of LIFE and how football can teach all of us how to navigate life was one of the most refreshing parts of my off-season.He didn't plan on coaching, by the way. He got cut playing in the CFL, came home, signed up for the LSAT, and was on his way to law school when his high school coach — practically a second father to him — talked him into helping out on the sideline instead. That coach later “fired” him, on purpose, so Greg would go be a graduate assistant and learn the business the right way. That GA year? 1989. At Rutgers. Where he told me, without blinking, that even back then, he was building his coaching staff for this program in his head.Chop.If you've followed this program at all, you know the word. Here's where it actually comes from: 1999, Miami, a sports psychologist named Dr. Kevin Elko telling the staff a story about a guy in the woods with nothing but an axe. It sat dormant for six years. Then in 2005, Rutgers blew a 28-7 fourth quarter lead at Illinois and lost in overtime. Greg couldn't sleep on the flight home. He remembered the story, upon landing he sent a GA to Home Depot for an axe, had it painted red, and walked it into the team meeting still wet with paint. We're all in the woods. We can lay down, or we pick a tree and chop until it falls. Rutgers went on a run and made a bowl game. The axe, and the word, never left.Finally, Rutgers has both hands free.For most of his 18 years split across two stints as head coach, Coach Schiano described competing “with one arm tied behind his back.” That's changing. He talked about vertical alignment: from president to athletic director to head coach, all pointed at the same goal, for the first time in his tenure. It's showing up in real terms: Rutgers retained all three of their must-keep players this offseason, including a receiver who very nearly left before Greg reminded him who he was and where he was from. “You're a difference maker. You're gonna leave a legacy,” he told him. He stayed. That conversation with KJ Duff is coming up later this week so be sure to subscribe to our YouTube page.We also talked about his three coaching trees and biggest influences: Joe Paterno at Penn State, Dave Wannstedt and Butch Davis out of the Jimmy Johnson lineage at Miami and Chicago, Dick Anderson at Rutgers. We talked about Pete Carroll and impact of our book, Win Forever, and the sabbatical Greg took in 2014 that reshaped how he leads now. Demanding, but flexible enough to let a coach leave for four hours for his daughter's recital. And we talked about his three sons, all working in the building, all grinding it out the long way.He just turned 60. Says he feels 30. And when I asked him about the word “legacy” landing on him after everything he's built here, he wouldn't take it yet. “I'm only comfortable with it because we haven't started yet,” he said. “The best times for Rutgers football are ahead of us.”I believe it.Much love and stay steady,YogiY-Option: College Football with Yogi Roth is a reader-supported publication.

David Abidor didn't take the easy road to a pro career — he earned every minute of it. Growing up playing youth soccer in the Chicago suburbs, he made the jump to Shattuck St. Mary's in Minnesota for academy ball, then played college soccer at Dayton and Creighton before heading overseas to chase a pro career in Europe. It didn't start well. David talks openly about a rough start to his career abroad and what it took to turn things around — the mindset shifts, the grinding, the refusal to quit — before eventually finding his footing playing professionally both in Europe and back in the U.S. Now an assistant coach with the Chicago Fire Academy, David brings a perspective shaped by every level of the game, from the sidelines of Chicago rec fields to locker rooms overseas. If you've ever wondered what it actually takes to make it as a pro — and what to do when it doesn't go according to plan — this one's for you.If you loved this episode, drop us a review and rating — it genuinely helps us grow! ⚽

On this episode of The Jon Gordon Podcast, I sit down with legendary UConn basketball coach Dan Hurley for an honest and energizing conversation about building a championship culture, relentless leadership, and the transformative power of purpose-driven coaching.   From his early days learning from a Hall of Fame father, to guiding players through the rigors of college basketball's toughest moments, Dan opens up about the realities of forming a great team in the era of the transfer portal, NIL, and social media. He shares the values at the core of the UConn program—relentless competitive effort, mindful communication, a dedication to the "pack," and the consistent pursuit of growth—explaining how accountability and care come together in an environment that pushes players past their limits and deepens their belief in themselves.   Throughout this conversation, Dan reflects on the importance of love-tough coaching, the urgency of making an impact on young lives, and the crucial role that faith and self-development play in his own journey. Whether he's describing his mindful approach to team-building, the vulnerability he shares with his athletes, or the discipline and devotion it takes to chase excellence, Dan's story is both inspiring and down-to-earth.   About Dan: Dan Hurley is one of the most accomplished coaches in modern college basketball, leading the University of Connecticut back to national prominence since becoming the program's 19th head coach in 2018. In eight seasons at UConn, Hurley has compiled a 199-75 record, guided the Huskies to six consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances, three Final Fours in four seasons, back-to-back NCAA National Championships in 2023 and 2024, and a national runner-up finish in 2026. His teams won 13 consecutive NCAA Tournament games from 2023-25, with all 12 victories during the championship runs coming by double digits—an NCAA record. Since 2022-23, UConn has posted a 126-28 record, the most successful four-year stretch in program history. Hurley was named the 2024 Naismith College Coach of the Year and BIG EAST Coach of the Year after leading UConn to a school-record 37 wins, BIG EAST regular season and tournament championships, and the program's sixth national title. He owns the highest winning percentage in BIG EAST history (minimum 100 conference games) and has developed 12 NBA players, including four lottery selections, during his tenure. Prior to Connecticut, Hurley transformed programs at Rhode Island and Wagner, leading Rhode Island to consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances and Atlantic 10 regular-season and tournament championships. Across 16 collegiate seasons, he has amassed a 350-180 career record. A Jersey City native, Hurley was raised in one of basketball's most accomplished families. His father, Hall of Famer Bob Hurley Sr., built the legendary St. Anthony High School program, while his brother Bobby won two NCAA championships at Duke. Before entering the college ranks as a head coach, Hurley compiled a 223-21 record in nine seasons at St. Benedict's Prep, developing multiple future NBA players. Known for his relentless competitiveness, player development, and elite two-way teams, Hurley has become one of the defining figures in college basketball. In 2025, he became a New York Times bestselling author with his memoir, Never Stop: Life, Leadership and What It Takes to Be Great.

The Chicago Bulls are adding more scoring upside after the NBA Draft, signing Providence guard Jaylin Sellers to a two-way deal. On today's episode of Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down what Sellers brings to Chicago, why his shooting and shot creation could matter, and how this move fits into the Bulls' bigger roster direction after drafting Caleb Wilson and Dailyn Swain.Sellers was one of the most productive scorers in the Big East, giving Chicago another guard/wing option with size, shooting touch, and offensive confidence. But is this just a Windy City Bulls development move, or could Sellers push for real minutes if the Bulls' roster stays in transition?The Chicago Bulls are adding more size, toughness, and rebounding to the organization as Arizona forward Tobe Awaka has reportedly signed a two-way deal with Chicago, per 247Sports. On today's episode of Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down what Awaka brings to the Bulls, why his physical profile matters, and how this signing fits into Chicago's new direction after the NBA Draft.Awaka gives the Bulls a hard-nosed frontcourt piece who can rebound, finish inside, bring energy, and compete defensively. After averaging over nine rebounds per game at Arizona, he enters Chicago's system as a two-way developmental player with a chance to carve out a role if his motor, strength, and defensive impact translate.Haize also reacts to what this signing says about the Bulls' front office, the team's need for shooting, two-way roster flexibility, and whether Chicago is finally targeting players who fit the modern NBA.Podcast Links: https://linktr.ee/BullsCentralPodGet at us:Email: BullsCentralPod@gmail.comTwitter:@BullsCentralPodPhone: ‪(773) 270-2799‬Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

The conversation also provides updates from Yellowknife, where Li-FT continues expanding the Big East pegmatite system through ongoing drilling while balancing capital allocation between two major lithium development projects. With lithium prices rebounding sharply, multiple resource and engineering catalysts ahead, and continued consolidation opportunities on the table, Li-FT believes it is positioning itself as one of the leading lithium development companies in Canada.

This week's episode drops a day earlier than usual - right as conference tournament semifinals begin, and D‑Fly and Dixie waste no time diving into the most pivotal stretch of the season. With half the country already done and the other half fighting for their postseason lives, they run through every conference with Inside Lacrosse editor‑in‑chief Matt Kinnear, breaking down favorites, upset formulas, and the ripple effects each result could have on Selection Sunday. From the ACC's star‑studded slugfest in Charlotte to Albany's push for another America East title to the A‑Sun's three‑way deadlock, the crew sorts out which teams are locks for May, which are bid‑stealers, and which storylines — like Duke's at‑large hopes — hinge on results happening hundreds of miles away.Michigan's leading scorer, sophomore attackman Nick Roode, joins the show for a wide‑ranging and genuinely fun conversation. He talks about growing up in Peterborough as the son of WWE and TNA star Bobby Roode, sharing stories about taking fan photos for his dad, watching him flip from hero to heel, and what it's like to have a parent who's famous everywhere except at home, where he's simply “Dad.”Nick walks through his path from Peterborough minor lacrosse to Culver Military Academy, explaining how box lacrosse shaped his game, how Culver's culture sharpened his discipline, and how a fall play day at Brother Rice unexpectedly put him on Michigan's radar. He reflects on battling injuries his first two seasons — including breaking his hand mid‑game against Maryland — and how being forced to watch, teach, and study film elevated his lacrosse IQ and prepared him for this breakout year.He also discusses Michigan's resilience after a seven‑game losing streak, the leadership group's emphasis on belief and process, and why the Wolverines feel like they're hitting their stride at exactly the right time. On the lighter side, Nick drafts an all‑Culver sixes team (heavy on Peterborough legends), reveals his devotion to buffalo chicken in all forms, and explains why Tommy Renner and Max Bonner are responsible for the most electric aux performances in the locker room.Matt, Mark and Dan of course spotlight the most compelling matchups of the week, including High Point–St. Joe's in the A‑10, Providence's chance to shake up the Big East, and a heavyweight Big Ten semifinal between Penn State and Maryland. With discussions ranging from Tewaaraton implications to faceoff‑driven upset potential to which teams are peaking at the right moment, the episode sets the table for a chaotic, high‑stakes weekend across Division I lacrosse. GIVE & GOIn this week's tribute band-themed Give & Go, the three music lovers share good and bad stories and experiences seeing all levels of tribute bands.LINKSWeekend Schedule and ScoreboardMatt Kinnear's Chaos Ladder & Conference Tournament PredictionsTerry Foy's Third Bracketology

Larken is back! And he rejoins IL's Terry Foy to reflect on how things have changed since their season-opening show at Gillette Stadium and what's happened since.From there, they move to the Big Ten Quarterfinals; Michigan is doing its thing and  is Ohio State's season over? Conversely, Duke is keeping its hopes alive and Notre Dame is tightening its grip on the No. 1 seed. In the Ivy League, Yale claimed the 4-seed and Cornell is hosting again while Princeton continues to chug along. All that plus a Friday night whip-around of the Patriot League, Big East and Atlantic 10.

The episode opens with D‑Fly and Dixie recapping a packed weekend of college lacrosse, highlighting dramatic one‑goal games, strong crowds, and electric atmospheres across the country. They discuss their own on‑site experiences at marquee matchups like Hopkins–Maryland, touch on standout women's games, and bring in analyst Craig McMichael to break down national trends as the postseason begins. Together, they preview major conference‑shaping games in the Atlantic 10, Big East, Ivy League, ACC, and Big Ten—evaluating RPI implications, at‑large chances, stylistic matchups, and which teams are peaking or fading at the wrong time. Their analysis covers Richmond–High Point, Georgetown–Villanova, Harvard–Cornell, Duke–UNC, Syracuse–Notre Dame, and Maryland–Rutgers, with each host offering predictions and broader context for Selection Sunday.Cornell's leading scorer, junior attackman Willem Firth, joins the show to talk about his journey from Ottawa to Hill Academy to Cornell. He reflects on Cornell's first national championship in 48 years and shares how the team approached the 2026 season. He emphasized the team's focus on building a new identity rather than replicating last year's success, highlighting a balanced six-man offense and a strong defensive unit anchored by goalie Matthew Tully. Willem discussed his background in Ottawa, his time at the prestigious Hill Academy where he was coached by legends like Jeff Teat and Brody Merrill, and how that experience shaped him as a player.
