The athletes were all already using it. Our coaches are the ones who were less sophisticated than the technology and had to go out and learn it.

And I'm not sure what inadaquacy you are referring to. Their dream is to play in the NFL but kids aren't as dumb as they used to be. They know what their chances are and that is why many of them are opting to play for schools with better academic reputations - so that if things don't work out, they have a decent degree to fall back on.
