He wants to win a national championship or three. That may be all that is driving him right now. It was not happening at ND. He had his chances but he could not get it done there.Just shows what’s important and to whom. He has more $$ than he knows what to do with, but more money is better I suppose if you stand for nothing else.
If Notre Dame joins a conference,it loses what make it special.
Remember when Miami football left the Big East. They haven't been relevant since. Neither has FSU. The move made them both irrelevant.
If only he bailed! That way we would have had a UConn man coaching UConn instead of a Maryland man just waiting for the game to end.At least Randy finished the season out before he bailed on UCONN.
Anytime I think of Louisiana I think of this clip. It's not the heat, it's the humidity. I don't think I could take it down there, growing up in New England.
Yeah it was a shameless beauty contest. One can only hope for a somewhat inclusive expansion.Yeah, have to admit, stuff back in the day was horrible when it came to the NC. Even though it is not the best system yet, having the playoffs attempts to better clarify a winner. Expanding them should help even more.
Lol. Doubling his salary? Yeah the money played a small part.I don’t think money was the big factor. I think kelly wants access to better athletes that are more readily available in the SEC which will give him a better opportunity to win a national championship
ND could have, but would not have.Do you think that they would have, or even that they could have?
I don't get this. These universities have no loyalty to their coaches and fire them on a rotating basis once the boosters and fans get restless over some losses. Kelly is only secure at ND to the extent that he is in the playoff system just about every season. Absent that, the University will send him packing. The universities have no one to blame but themselves for this. They show no loyalty or patience. Consequently, the coaches want and get contracts with big guaranteed money.Just shows what’s important and to whom. He has more $$ than he knows what to do with, but more money is better I suppose if you stand for nothing else.
Come on. Nobody can live on $8M a year these days… oh wait, my math is off by a few zeros.Lol. Doubling his salary? Yeah the money played a small part.
Aren’t they in the ACC?? Kelly left for SEC, he will win in 2 years
It's a clause that allows them the partial FB that other sports are ACC, if they ever join a conference, it has to be the ACCWhy is the ACC the only conference they would be able to join?

Or @ least through 2036 (... but that's what lawyers are for):It's a clause that allows them the partial FB that other sports are ACC, if they ever join a conference, it has to be the ACC
Are you saying they should be considered Notre Shame ?I like what Kelly did while he was there. He showed that ND is just a greedy and corrupt as any SEC team.
You and Texas Money well spentFrom last year's reports, ND was still #6 in the nation in revenues.
ND had just renewed his contract for like the fourth time last year.
Jack Swarbrick said today that Kelly did not ask him to match LSU's offer.
To answer your question, ND is not going to make a change.
Compare and contrast the records of the two schools the last five or last ten years.You and Texas Money well spent
No chance this pushes them to join a conference. They can make their own schedule go undefeated and be included in the playoffs.
They get a cut of the ACC deal as a basketball member.Aren’t they in the ACC?? Kelly left for SEC, he will win in 2 years
Make that the Meadowlands. Irish alums in the NYC area could fill Yankee Stadium by themselves. If you are UConn, go where you can sell the most tickets. AND, it IS a football venue, not a converted baseball park. (This coming from a faithful member of the Pinstripe Evil Empire)The B12 should make a run at Notre Dame.
Offer ND the same sweetheart deal they gave Texas. The B12 would give Notre Dame an easy path to the proposed 12 team playoff which might be appealing to them. Given that it would already have an easy conference path to the playoff ND could use the four non-conference games to play its traditional rivals (Michigan, Stanford, USC, Navy)
Maybe UCONN could join the B12 with ND if we agreed to always play them at Yankee Stadium for our home game. (ND is huge in NYC)
