Asked again about the so-called rivalry, Diaco said he could change it to “Conflict,” so not to offend anyone.
“I’ll peel every plaque off the thing. I do not care,” the former Notre Dame assistant head coach said. “You want me to take the score from a year ago? Done. You want to add the score from 2013? Done. I don’t really care.
You want to change the name because the first part of it is an implication from a few hundred years ago? Fine. I thought about all of it. We’ll call it ‘The Conflict.’ We can capitalize the ‘fl’ and capitalize the ‘ct.’ The semantics of it, I’m good on it. Whatever is least offensive to everyone involved. Whoever’s the most offended, you make it. I’m fine with that.<<
As a note he mentioned today that they did add the previous game score to the trophy.
