Just put them all in the same division and call it The B1G

How likely is it that Jack Swarbrick foresaw something like this? It’s looking now like he was playing chess while everyone else was playing checkers.

The CFP money is cake, but the new NBC deal combined with ND's cut of ACC money is the feather in ND's football independence cap. The CFP deal was good business for structurally preserving independence. I always thought the reporting on Stanford was incomplete. Consider that Stanford's reported revenues place it well outside the top 25––operating at a loss––yet only Michigan (29) and Ohio State (35) come anywhere close to offering the number of varsity sports as does Stanford. Most of the high-earning departments sponsor between 19-21 varsity sports. I wonder if, in a strange way, football and Title IX end up being sufficient to save many potentially at-risk programs. I think it will be hard for departments to offset for football and still cut the number of sponsored sports substantially while staying compliant with Title IX. The department went through staff reductions during COVID, but, after a glance at the athletics department directory, I think they've actually surpassed the number of pre-COVID staff. Notre Dame doesn't do anything off the cuff, so I imagine all department growth has taken place with an eye to the likely future of paying players as employees or engaging in revenue sharing. So far as the changes to the business side at IU go, Notre Dame has been playing that game for decades. I suspect the House settlement will have limited impact on Notre Dame.

Also, the Motion to Dismiss that was shared in the other thread states that the charges are dismissed "without prejudice" which means they could still be modified and/or charged at a later date or in a different court.

Can’t love this post enough!!!!!!!!!!!!

These are the kinds of people Woodson is recruiting, punks:

Good for John- great guy that didn't need put through this ringer.

I hope he sues the shit out of the district and the kid and her family. Break their banks. Make a point that this shit can’t happen.

I was not the one who hid the topic, but the standard that has been in place since Tim Adams started this site is that posts like the one you mentioned must have a link/source. The same standard has been in place regarding coaching moves and any matters involving player news. There was a post about the incident at NorthWood this past season. The original topic was hidden for the same reason yours was hidden; there was no link. Even hearing something firsthand does not meet the standard TA set over 20 years ago here. So the claim that this was about some "good ole boy" thing is not even close to accurate.

In all these situations that have involved coaches in our state, I caution folks on a few things, 1. Due process This is why I hid a topic last week talking rumors of something at Glenn with Coach Barron 2. What is reported by WNDU is just that, what they reported. Which is summary of charges, nothing more, nothing less. 3. We've always taken stance going back to Coach Tim Adams days , to allow due process and sticking with to reported facts that become available if they do.

SB ring and ass kicking of the bears scare you? Go take a little hike to clear your head and come back once your senses return
