Notre Dame (football only discussion)

You're probably right. But I don't have the numbers in front of me. The people who make the decisions only look at the money.
Notre Dame's current TV contract is $X per year.
Notre Dame could expect to get $X + $Y per year in a conference. Let's say Big Ten for geographical reasons. Plus, I think the $Y is the largest if they join the Big Ten, compared to the ACC or anyone else.
What do they make if they make the playoffs? Is it $Y or greater?

If it's greater than $Y, they're gambling that they make the playoffs every year.
If it's less than $Y, they shouldn't care about the playoffs.

There are new rules starting in 2026

ND gets $12.5MM if they make it or not. They get another $6MM if they make it, so max $18.5MM

The Big Ten as a conference, otoh, gets ~29% of CFP revenue or est $377MM split between all 18 schools/~$21MM per school

So ND makes a little less, as far as the CFP goes, by staying independent.

Their TV deal also pays ND less than each Big Ten school makes

Irony of ironies is that their affiliation with the ACC makes up the difference and makes it pretty much break even for them to be independent/ACC adjacent vs joining the B1G.

So the math is a wash and they are all cocksmacks, thus they stay independent.

He has a really good offer list for being outside of the top five……hundred

Google A.I. search says he dropped due to an injury in his junior year. Prior to that, he was a top 100 kid. I wonder what his injury was, and I guess the staff will see how much he has recovered before giving him a green light should he want to commit?

Reading a lot of negative press on MHJr coming out of training camp. Wondering what’s happening here.

Its training camp, and it gets more clicks to post his drops and call him a bust because he was a high draft pick that went to OSU.

Speaking of that;

Hector Rodriguez, 22 year old OF at AAA, in two years of combined AAA stats he's slashing .286/.339/.475. He has 26 HR THIS YEAR already. He's on the 40 man roster and the OF in front of him in Cincy suck dick like it's their job.

Never even a peep of this guy getting a call up. Are we so good in the OF that we don't need the help?

WR Chris Henry Jr. (Official Thread)

RugbyBuck
Not to diminish his dad's side, which everyone knows about, somewhere I have a bright red (although not quite scarlet) Tonga 2011 rugby world cup jersey with a white collar that I've got to find for Saturdays this fall. The island nations each have their own style. Fiji is like the '80s Showtime Lakers, but no one outworks the Tongans and they will hit you harder than you've ever been hit. He's going to bring that cultural ethos to Columbus.

2028 IL DL Darieon Prescott (Notre Dame Verbal)

calibuck
Know/knew there were a bunch of fervent ND fans. Had a boss who had been accepted to ND, and showed his framed acceptance letter. Never went, but framed the darn thing. Back in my business days, never saw a ND grad as a CEO of major corporation, but maybe that's because the ND grads went to Harvard/Stanford etc for their MBA's. Anyway, guess was a tad naive about where the Domer's NIL money comes from. But since ND is recruiting on a par with the big money schools, would indicate that they have the deep pockets, so who cares where their money comes from.

USC Trojans (official thread)

pnuts34
Per 11w:
Interesting that Thamel thinks Riley could be out at USC if they don’t show improvement this season. Believes week 4 when Oregon comes to town will shape the conversation on Riley’s future throughout the rest of the season.

Riley being fired would obviously send a shockwave through cfb, I’m more looking at the recruiting ramifications. USC has a good bit of players that we wanted in this class and 2026.

The two obvious names for me are Elbert Hill and Luke Wafle, I’m not sure we would even be able to afford Wafle after Wilder, Jacobs, Fakatou and Smith. But what an insane room that would be.
