Monday was a first for BC fans, as the traditional introductory press conference was moved to a zoom call.

It was awkward, but probably a better test than most press conferences because Kraft handled the predictable and the surprises with ease and did it all without being able to “read the room.”
The hot button issues of COVID and student voices related to BLM both came up, and he provided perfectly appropriate and generic answers.
