You know what. Maybe the fans have had enough of the putrid product they see all the time. They pay a lot of money to watch a game live. I’m not someone who boos. But I have no issues with fans that do that. Especially now with “ we want to be paid “ athletes. Ok , you get paid. But you also take what goes with that. I would argue that any player for ND who got NIL money and played yesterday should give some back for not holding up their end of the bargain. I won’t hold my breath. You really want change ? Stop going and supporting lousy football year after year. Maybe an empty stadium for a season will get the attention of the administration. Maybe the NBC contract will not be renewed if that happens. People have power . But if the stands are filled and merchandise is sold , nothing will change. ND doesn’t have to sell out to win championships. But they do need an administration that understands that football is the ties that bind and football put the small midwestern university on the map. Right now they don’t care if the program wins. They are making big money , so why worry. Well when the money well dries up , then and only then is change for the better possible. Otherwise , what we saw yesterday will continue on and on .
