Notre Dame (football only discussion)

We’ve all known that it was going to take something like this for them to join a conference.

ND in the Big12? They are going to have to negotiate popcorn subscriptions to everyone because this is going to be entertaining.

Not sure if ND is more Lucile or Lindsay Bluth here… I imagine a bit of both… and I’m here for it.

2025 College Football Playoffs Discussion (12 Team Format)

Would it stay an NFL farm system? Or become an NFL competitor? If it is not associated with the NCAA, would there be a move away from the players being students? Why only four seasons? Why not 10?

From a player (and agent) standpoint, competition between PE and NFL owners for players would seem to raise player salaries significantly.

Utah Utes (official thread)


As an institution of higher learning you look at sports post NIL watershed and ask your self: Is this something only we can or should be doing?

If the answer is Yes: then you carry on as before

If the answer is No: you have 4 options
1. Stop doing it
2. Automate it
3. Insource it
4. Outsource it

#1 and #2 are non starters.
#3 is what you were doing before, an athletic department inside the University frame work. If that was working you wouldn't have answered "No"

Only #4 remains

NIL was a regulatory sea change that fundamentally disrupted the old model of college sports. It was over once that became law. Only option 4 (in whatever way you want to try and execute it) is viable for schools and conferences going forward.

Portraying the PE world as two dimensional bond villains out to fleece the schools is just noise. This is where it's headed. A separate legal entity operating a professional sports organization. Divide up the ownership and responsibilities, revenue sharing and payouts as you will. This reduces the threat of sports hurting the University (essentially eliminates it) it in no way puts the public institution in harms way.

Making just his second start of the season at defensive tackle, Togiai led the Texans’ defensive effort by recording a career-high 10 tackles, including a sack of Patrick Mahomes.

He was the first NFL defensive tackle this season – and just the ninth ever – to record 10 tackles with a sack and multiple quarterback hits in a game.


Togiai had four total quarterback pressures vs. Mahomes, according to Pro Football Focus, which gave Togiai the seventh-highest overall grade (82.2) among NFL defensive tackles in Week 14.

In recognition of his standout performance, Togiai wins our Pro Buck of the Week award as the top performer among NFL players from Ohio State in Week 14.

I watched a couple minutes of that game and damn... he was on fire.

Notre Dame (football only discussion)

Yes it does, because you are replying to a post about Alabama.
What you're missing is, who cares about Alabama? Notre Dame is stomping around throwing a fit as if we should all be thankful they exist. I don't give a shit if Eastern Kentucky got in over them. If this is how they're going to act.....good. Fuck em.
