^It seems a good number of the older USC football alums are not happy about it, which is a bit of a discrepancy from much of the Trojan fanbase (and possibly Lincoln Riley / the athletic department).

Well CFB keeps making announcements about its death...

How long for the corpse to rot before fans get sick of the stench?

With ND guaranteed a playoff spot as long as they are in the top 12, no reason for them to play anyone other than service academies and directional schools.

What directional schools do they play? I don’t see any on their future schedules.

Sad day for college football. USC’s choice, btw.

Nobody cares about gay arse Notre Dame anymore bro. Everyone is rooting for them to be relegated to playing turds and begging for inclusion as a borderline G5.

Yep, you clearly don’t care about ND.

Nobody cares about Notre Dames gay traditions and rivalries, even their rivals. They're just not important to anyone except Notre Dame and old people who still think ND wields the influence they did 50-75 years ago.

ND refused to play in September, which was the only viable date in the modern landscape, and then ran a media campaign around it to paint themselves as the victim.

This is correct.

Considering we played in October this season and November last season in this modern landscape, it’s clearly not the “only” viable option. The B1G has arranged its schedules accordingly the past two years and would’ve continued to do so.

That will never happen. Too many people derive the majority of their sense of self from their team's success. They can raise ticket prices, pump in garbage pop music, pay 18 year olds more money in one year than the average fan makes in 20 years, take players from rivals to play for them for a year before they move on to another school and they will still lay down thousands to attend.
