Something will change sooner or later.

I think the ND AD is smoking too much weed!

J/K, it is a good write up....and needs to happen. Like my post about salaries, there are the "have's and have not's".

The "paying" players issue is going to kill CFB...or at least kill the lower levels of D1 football.

I hate that this was written with ND as a feature....blinds too many people.

Jack Swarbrick is a pretty smart guy. Too many schools take up the conference mantra....at the end of the day you need to worry about your own school.


This really isn't about have and have nots...ND and others can compete with anyone on the money side...it's more about the mission of the school.

You're 100% wrong. It's ONLY about the have's and have not's. Period. Why should ND split it's share w/ La Tech or Central Michigan? Those schools will move to the lesser division (the Have Not's)....and the big boys (the Have's) will move to theirs...and count the money.

If i was 100% wrong...ND and Texas would win the NC every year

 

[CoachCB]

Wrong again.

You honestly think this isn't about the money? The haves?

Okay. If La Tech is in the same "division" that ND goes to I'll come back and admit I was wrong......

Nowhere near wrong. ND and few other could have THEIR choice of a league is it was all about money. ND and a few others value the educational mission....that's the difference.

So, what you're saying is that college sports is going to switch to 2 divisions: 1 that cares about education (led by the Ivy League Catholic school in Indiana) and one that only cares about athletics? I got it. You're so smart!!

 

[cloverleaf]

Notre Dame better find a HOME soon with their football program and athletics as a whole.

This AIN'T the 1970's or 80's.....Irish don't have the appeal where they once dominated.

Not held in the high esteem the school once was.

Who gives a rat's ass what they do other than their faithful?

Are you really that dense? ND could out spend anyone....they will likely choose to pursue education...the true mission of college athletics.

They can and will compete with either side of the argument.

Dude, you're a tool. It's not even worth discussing w/ you.

How so?????????? The most profitable teams are ND..... a small school, and Texas. There's nothing much to discuss. ND makes the bed.....others lay in it....Nothing earth shattering there unless you are a clueless ND hater.

They still seem to make the money....I'm told that's what it is all about.
ESPN, CBS, NBC, FOX, and hundreds of others seem to care and talk about the IRISH non-stop....eyeballs equal $$$$$. Thank you to the haters and the faithful

Okay, let's take a step back.

What is this article about? Is it about Texas & ND playing 12 games a year vs. each other and then playing each other for a championship?

No. It's about the have's; which includes ND, Texas.....Texas A&M, Bama, UF, and dozens of other schools....and the have not's: La Tech, Idaho, Western Kentucky, etc.

Where you went off on your ND has money and high academics has nothing to do with the article. Then you wouldn't shut up about it and kept harping on ND, ND, ND. No one gives a shit about ND but you. I love ND's tradition. But Navy, Minnesota, and Army also have great tradition. Who cares?

This whole thread is about splitting D1 into 2 divisions (basically). It's got nothing to do w/ ND except the ND AD being quoted in the article.

Damn. How hard is that? Why is everything an arguement with you? Can't we just discuss CFB?

 

[cloverleaf]

Absolutely NONE of my business Loomis...what's happened to you partner? I remember you once as someone who loved college football and added to this forum with good sports information. Now of late...nothing but trash.

I'm not picking a fight...fire back if you feel the need.

You sound like EOG posters...............sorry.

 

[loomis41973]

See post #3. .

i don't wan't this to be an ND vs the world thread.

Just the thoughts of the current ND AD and others.

CFB is up for a big shakeup and its not the have and have nots.....not even close

Tired of people trashing ND.


99% of my non ND posts are in jest, but quite a few have damn thin skin

 

[CoachCB]

Who trashed ND?

How is this NOT about the Have's and Have Not's????

Are you saying that when/if there is a split that schools such as La Tech & Utah State will be playing in the division that ND goes to?

It IS about the "BIG" schools vs. the smaller ones. The small/lower tier schools (the "have not's") are going to play in a different division.

Please explain how it is NOT about the Have's and Have Not's. I'm all ears.

And again, who is trashing ND?

Well....Notre Dame would be in the lower division according to their own AD. ND is a have as well as Stanford and many other schools....many.

This is more an argument about care and make as much $$$ as possible for your school and conference....not have and have nots
