Who signed the MOU?

Would like to understand why ND gets special treatment. Is there something written into the TV rights?

 

[Steve19]

Letting them into the BTHC still grinds my fucking gears. Did some dumb fucks at the league office think that helping them in any way could possibly lead to some form of goodwill on their part?

Agree totally. They are convinced Knute Rockne is still relevant and that they are special above all special. The B1G should cut them loose in Hockey. There is no real advantage for the B1G.

Take ball and go home.

They are trying to swing their “weight around” when that left with the playoff.

Enjoy South Bend this January 1st you grifters.

 

[Jaxbuck]

So they aren’t in a Bowl at all now?

 

[Tomateaux Quinoa Gumbeaux]

the more we expand, the more we push where the controversy line is.

And expand the scope of controversy.

There are always more 2-3 loss teams than undefeated or 1 loss teams, so the more you expand, the more teams will whine

FSU was the main whiner in 2023. UGA had a case that year but they accepted their defeat in the CG (which used to mean something regarding playoff implications).

2025, we have ND, Vandy, Texas, BYU, and probably others I can’t even think of off the top of my head.

They’ll always be in the toilet bowl known as South Bend

Yeah, I believe Iowa St and Baylor are holding out as well.

Damn, they're "last year'ing" harder than the SEC in that thread.

NoD declines a bowl game - hahahhahahaahh fuck you join a conference fuckos.

NoD declines a bowl game, which fucks with ESECPN's bowl revenue and ratings potential - hahahahahaahahahahah stop overly favoring the SEC SEC SEC fuckos.

Used to be the “anytime, anywhere” team.

Would have loved to have seen them play Texas in a bowl game on NYD.

Sark and his boys are going. I can’t believe Marcus Freeman would bail like this

The Mirror Wishbone game back in the day.

The day being New Year‘s Day, 1971.

I can. That guy just chameleons into whoever is paying him. You'd think he was born Marcus O'Brien the second he took that job.

With opt.outs, I kind of expect this to become common.
