It started with claims that Notre Dame used ineligible players against us in a game and then Michigan effectively blackballed them from any BIG schools playing them. It’s why they’re not in the BIG right now. I don’t know if it was due to anti-Irish sentiments but that’s where a lot of the bad blood stems from.
filthy irsh b*stards :wow:

Not splitting the $14M isn't that big of a deal, and shouldn't be a surprise b/c ND got to keep the whole payout from a BCS bowl when other teams had to split it up, and that amount I believe was $13M, with inflation factored in, was even more money.

It wasn’t a BIG deal before all this conference money kicked in for the BIG and SEC. We literally watched a conference collapse over money. I’m telling you - FSU, Miami and those other schools will begin to feel a way. If Notre Dame didn’t get to play schools like them, they wouldn’t even have the opportunity to be in the playoff.

Ohhh you right...I'm not considering those schools. ACC has about 10-15 years left before they're big east status. Miami, FSU & Clemson will be looking to join whoever once the inevitable B1G x SEC Division 1+ is formed for football.

Not going to lie this makes Brian Kelly look bad.

I don’t think he’s a bad coach. I’m not sure he’s the the right fit at LSU.

Herman should have came his career trajectory probably would look different, but he took the job at Texas and we ended up with Coach O.

I ain’t mad at it, without O, 2019 doesn’t happen.

And when that day comes they'll just join a conference so they win either way.

I disagree. Kelly coached at ND during the BCS & 4-team playoff era, while Marcus Freeman is coaching this ND run during the expanded 12-team playoff era. That makes a huge difference. If the expanded 12-team playoff system had existed during Kelly's tenure as ND Head Coach, a bunch of those Kelly ND teams would've made the playoffs & who knows what would've happened.
