Q&A: Virginia's Tony Bennett on recruiting, transfer rules and a title's impact


Does the sales pitch to recruits change after you win the national title? Tony Bennett: "Not really. The message before was from the movie "Rocky." I still have the poster of Rocky in my office -- "I just want a chance at a title fight." I want guys who have that mentality that want to go toe-to-toe against the best for a title. You can do that in this league [the ACC]." (ESPN.com)
