There is a big difference between Indiana St and playing 8 or 9 ranked teams a year. It gets to the point where it doesn't help you, it just makes it more impossible to compete for national titles. That being said Jack could care less, all he's cared about for years is the money he can rake in. The success of the program is secondary.
ND played 7 ranked teams last year (over half of our opponents were ranked) and Swarbrick just keeps adding, they aren't far off. Regardless it does the program no good to get pantsed by Alabama on national tv especially with the academic restrictions they are already dealing with. That being said, I guarantee it never crossed Jack's mind. He cares about getting as many money grab games in there as he can find so he can buy a new jumbotron and showcase their flashy new jerseys.
Dumb, just dumb. What do you think his primary job is ? It's too generate as much revenue as possible.
If you think that's his main job then this exact mentality is why ND hasn't had an elite football program since 1993. It's about winning and making money. The funny thing is if ND would win more they would make far more money than they are making now.
Of course it's about making money. If it was about only winning the academic restrictions would not be in place. Get a clue.
these types of games get your team healthy again and your bench players game time experience. You want 2 of these each season. Game 3-4 and games 8-9. IT makes sense!!
no thank you especially as an independent. it's hard enough now for nd to make the playoff. beating FCS teams makes it even harder. to think otherwise is extremely short sighted.
