Lifelong LSU fan, Current senior at ND

And I do not see how any of this Kelly stuff is anything but a smokescreen. Every single pep rally here BK is talking about how much is means to be at ND growing up as an Irish Catholic on the East Coast and is credited as making ND relevant again for the first time since the 80s. He also openly talks about his faith and how that sets ND apart. In recent weeks, he’s publicly called any rumors with his name in it smokescreens and said he’s not leaving except for a $250 million dollar check. He bleeds Irish, is a much better cultural fit here, and has the team competing for playoffs every year already with recruiting recently picking up because of it (AND now huge ND NIL endorsements he can pitch to recruits).

Tl;dr- everything I’ve seen/heard from the man while being here tells me that he loves ND and is a way better cultural fit here than at LSU. He may be using LSU for leverage (upgrades needed at ND) but ND is a school that knows how to open a checkbook. He ain’t leavin’
