“Repetition is the mother of learning,” Gruden said. “You’re seeing a lot of rental clubs now. Do you play golf and get rental clubs? It’s like, ‘I don’t know how to hit this club.’ I didn’t put this putter.” You make a lot of excuses.

“That’s what I see in college sports right now. Everyone is looking for transfer portals and how much NIL money we have. It really hurts.”
