Endowment funds can't be used to pay athletes.

I don't think that's correct, but I'll double check.

All schools these days have an athletic endowment fund ... most have for years. Big donors fund them expressly for athletics.

At SC it's the Garnet Society.

Vandy has plenty of well off donors.

There are also endowments set-up and managed stictly for NIL funding. SC's is managed by a quasi agent/talent pool firm.

Here's what's going to happen next year.

Poll voters will intentionally vote them out of the Top 12.

Furthermore, imho, ND should be banned from playing in a bowl next season because of this year's stunt.

And no SEC, B1G or Big 12 team should schedule them in the future.

They remodeled their stadium to make it look even more like a Texas HS Football stadium.

Aren't they planning on using the Titans' stadium, when available, for at least one big game next year?

I thought I read somewhere that they'll play a game there beginning next season?

Nowhere in all of that did I get an inkling of desire for them to cut one loose and join a worse one.

You believe the U.S. is worse than Canada?

You do not believe that Alberta has made open overtures to Trump about wanting to join the U.S.?

You've.not been keeping up these past ten months, have you? You've missed a lot.

What payout does the ACC get if ND goes to/wins a playoff game??

I dunno ... but I seem to remember the ACC not getting a cut of ND's post season football revenue.

It was a sweet deal for ND.

Someone should sue the frick outta whoever made that deal with Notre Dame.

Join a conference, dummy! BTW, you should pick the Big 10 or SEC over the ACC to have a more legit argument.

I've got family and close friends up in Michigan ... been attending ballgames up there for decades.

And I know a couple two or three OSU, Michigan State and Indiana fans and I can tell you ... NONE of them want Notre Dame in the B1G after ND snubbed them twice. Indiana especially, but I've been surprised by how adamant Big Blue and suckeye fans are about saying "pound sand" to Notre Dame fans.

One of my best friends used to work in the ND athletic department and he acknowledges the fact that sentiment has turned against ND when it comes to an invite by the B1G.

And the SEC will not touch them with a ten foot barge pole.
I was watching it live as it happened ... and loling at that Rashida Talib looking gal.

He lit a couple of'em up today. The one from ABC as well.

Vandy is bringing in the 5 star freshman.
NIL and the transfer portal, along with their endowment money ... might make Vanday great again.

When should we expect the MVGA hats?

Seriously, what is the beef here? Was the ACC not supposed to lobby for Miami because ND plays in the ACC in women's lacrosse?

Exactly. But here's the part that apparently really got under the leprechaun's skin ...
quote:

Last month, the ACC's official account on X posted a side-by-side comparison of Miami and Notre Dame, accompanied by the text, "No hypotheticals, just facts." Miami beat Notre Dame 27-24 in the season opener, a game the Hurricanes never trailed, and finished with an identical 10-2 record.

That's the fact of the matter and ND has a problem with that.

They're pitching a fit like a petulant, spoiled, brat.

It's a really bad look for Notre Dame.

Didn't the court up there rule that the independence vote is unconstitutional?

I don't think Western Canucks give a cafrick.

quote:

Notre Dame athletic director Pete Bevacqua unloaded on the ACC in the wake of Sunday's College Football Playoff snub, saying the conference that houses almost every Fighting Irish sports team has caused "permanent damage" to the relationship.

Bevacqua told "The Dan Patrick Show" on Monday that he has great respect for Miami, Alabama and all the teams that stated their cases for CFP inclusion and ultimately were included in the field of 12. However, Bevacqua is upset with how the ACC pushed for Miami over Notre Dame leading up to the selections.

"We were mystified by the actions of the conference to attack their biggest, really, partner in football and a member of their conference in 24 of our other sports," Bevacqua told Patrick. "... They have certainly done permanent damage to the relationship between the conference and Notre Dame."

Last month, the ACC's official account on X posted a side-by-side comparison of Miami and Notre Dame, accompanied by the text, "No hypotheticals, just facts." Miami beat Notre Dame 27-24 in the season opener, a game the Hurricanes never trailed, and finished with an identical 10-2 record.

Yeah, it's a really bad look for the Irish.
Gotta love that!

Amen and AMEN!

No one cares about any of that anymore.

Notre Dame 10-2
Kansas State 6-6

I guess that explains why the Big 12 is fining Iowa State and Kansas State a half million bucks each.

The ACC (?) should fine Notre Dame ... amirite?

I'd like to know more about the business of bowls

Bowls are money losers for most schools.

It costs more to go than can be recovered by participating.

Those schools wouldn't cime close to selkung their required ticket allotment either ... they'd lose money all the way around.
