No, I hadn't seen that. I will say that it's ridiculous that ND gets that kind of special treatment, which also explains why they're whining and crying so much right now - they can't believe that the great ND could possibly get left out of the playoffs over anyone else. If that's their deal then...

For it to be practical to leave they'll have to find another P4 conference willing to take them on, as I don't think they can make the playoffs anymore as a true independent. And I'm not sure the Big 10 - the most likely conference - would be willing to make the concessions ND would no doubt...

So I guess he's not really a farmer after all? What a shame.

Again, go for it. Try getting another conference to allow them a weird in-but-not-really arrangement as the ACC has done. Other conferences like the Big 10 don't need Notre Dame enough to cut some kind of deal with them that will piss off the rest of the conference.

Which, according to the NSC paper, apparently consists of turning xenophobic on immigration (which will cause untold damage to our economy), and turning back the clock on pretty much every social and cultural advance of the last half-century. Women will be pushed to give up their careers and go...

It's long past time for the sports media and NCAA special attention and treatment given to Notre Dame to end. They need to suck it up and formally join a conference or accept the consequences - the likelihood that they'll be left out of the playoffs most of the time. I will say that the whining...

Newberry College won the SAC 8 Division II conference this year, maybe they'll be willing to take the spot.

Given that she has been one of main instigators of all this rhetoric, I'd say it's FAFO time for her. And I'd love to see the percentage of death threats she's gotten from "the Left" as opposed to the ones that she's gotten from the right since falling out with Dear Leader, and the types of...

Good win against a tough, physical team. This team is clearly much better than last year's squad, and when Trimble returns, and if Stevenson can give Veesaar some rest and we can stay healthy the rest of the way with no major injuries then this team has the potential to be very, very good (solid...

The whole "assimilation" argument is such bullshit, as it's been used since the 1800s by nativists to argue against allowing immigrants into the country. It was argued in the mid-1800s that Irish Catholic immigrants were white trash Papists who could never "assimilate" into a heavily Protestant...

Agreed. Seems like the most logical and reasonable course of action (not that college sports is guided by logic or reason, but greed and power) would be to separate football from all other sports and have 4 or 5 regional conferences just for football and those teams would be the only ones to...

And also completely predictable. From the MAGA Rulebook: As long as the pain and suffering and discrimination is being felt by others it's A-OK, but the moment it happens to us it's intolerable and must stop.

And that, in a nutshell, explains what is wrong with so much of our society and politics today. Far too many Americans have rejected the old notion that sometimes community good outweighs individual choice, such as with vaccines. Protecting the public's health with provably safe vaccines should...

It goes well beyond Belichick, but I will say that it is very frustrating seeing freaking dook - dook! - winning an ACC football title while we haven't won a single one in 45 years. The last two NC teams to win an ACC football title are Wake Forest and dook. Which only emphasizes how pitiful we...

Based on that awful NSC paper that was released a few days ago detailing how Trump 2.0 intends to completely change our post-WW2 foreign and military policy, it seems clear that the Trump Administration is planning to divide the world into 3 spheres of influence, with Russia holding sway over...
