The players that matriculate to this program, UGA, BAMA, etc aren’t worried about a degree.

Get the best players and play the best players.

You didn’t win championships at ND graduating anyone.

You are here now. Pick. You want to win a championship. Get the caliber of player that may not be so worried about their grades and let’s win something.

Boss these dudes just want Mandigos!! They can give two shite#s once these players eligibility runs out. There's a difference between those whom attended LSU vs Billy Bob whom just passed 10th grade. So go ahead an put Team Sweep back in commission & investigations to investigations.

That’s more about keeping players from transferring. I don’t think he gives a frick if they actually graduate

BK was reprimanded at ND for being the red faced, screaming lunatic on the sideline. So he changed his approach



We need the red faced, screaming lunatic!

$95m guaranteed will tend to mellow out a dude.


The competitive fire can’t be burning as Hot when you got $95m coming your way no matter what the result.

Exactly. Seems like that kind of money would come after you won a NC and not before but what do I know.

I disagree.... at some level of wealth, it just becomes s number in an account, and doesnt affect your quality of life. I'd think BK was way above that level long before this contract.

Political correctness has put a stop to that unfortunately. Accountability and discipline are things frowned upon in society today.

The rant acting like they care if these future millionaires graduate is hilarious to me. Let’s be honest, we care about winning football games so I agree with you OP

It's probably all the fallout from the Title IV & NCAA investigations. Everyone seems to forget about that mess under Miles & O yet Kelly was probably asked clean this mess up behind the scenes to prevent it from happening again.

Well, in all fairness a degree from Notre Dame is much more valuable and respected than a degree from LSU, and I say this as an LSU alumnus.
