http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/co ... story.htmlGreat article. Very encouraging words:
Rooney, the first lay leader in the Jesuit school’s 148-year history who took over in May 2016, embraces the realities that accompany such change. That includes keeping up with the inflation of winning and rewarding a coach, Moser, so that he sees no reason to leave when bigger schools tempt him – and they will.
“We’d be foolish not to,’’ Rooney said. “Generally, when you have great people in an organization that really show through performance they can build the kind of culture that will propel it forward, you want to retain them. We have thought about it. How can we stay true to ourselves yet be competitive with how we’re approaching the program, with what we’re willing to commit? Joining the Missouri Valley Conference (in 2013) was the first step in a long journey.”
