Here's a new way to look at things: Let's forget everything about Mooney pre-2024-25 season. That's when the current NIL structure really took effect in college athletics, so I would say it's fair to judge him on how he's done with it, since it is the present and will be future.
He's signed 10 transfers.
We are 21-34 in Division 1 games.
We are 9-22 in Atlantic 10 games.
We are 0-4 against vcu.
We are 0-1 in the Atlantic 10 tournament.
We had the worst OOC schedule in the league this season.
What signs are there that Mooney a) has navigated this new normal successfully so far or b) is capable of doing so moving forward?
