Season 10, Episode 44: TUFF Fund tales, hoops recruiting and a Dad Vail champion

A packed episode this week includes our interviews with TUFF Fund Executive Director Andy Carl, new Temple basketball recruit Derrian Ford, and Grace Crosby, the coxswain who led the Temple men’s crew varsity eight to a gold medal at last Saturday’s Dad Vail Regatta. Carl shared some insightful stories about his time leading an NIL collective that helped raise more than $1 million for Temple athletics while Ford, a former 4-star and top-100 recruit, explained why he committed to Adam Fisher and his staff without an official visit. And Crosby, who steered the gold-medal varsity eight boat at the Dad Vail less than 48 hours after graduating from Temple’s Klein College of Media and Communication, took listeners into the demands of being a coxswain on one of the nation’s top crew teams.
