Part of me, I'm torn on this event because I'm so excited for Dillon. I know as a golfer what it means for him, but as a college golf coach I'm kind of excited for this thing to be done. I'd like to get back to getting us all focused on college golf here. We have a team that should be the best in the Big Ten.

He continues to feel this is not the time to be doing this.
