Reality continues to elude you. Coach Saban is not "unemployed ", hes doing exactly what he wants to be doing at this point in his life. We should all have it so good.
Like all those zeros Prime is getting? How is that working out…???
Yea ND is not important, they just set an attendance record at Kyle Field and had a TV ratings bonanza for that game in week 1. Yea ND isn't important, keep telling yourself that.
Well, for that matter, so are Coaches Rockne and Leahy, along with Holtz.
I don't know man .. i think under the right leadership Urban Meyer or Nick Saban would love to come to ND and awake a sleeping monster and go down in history as the best ever.
Why do you hate the prospect of ND being the #1 program in college football again so much?
Why do you persist in being the #1 idiotic poster on a college football message board again?
i think the narrative that all the best athletes are uneducated ignorant thugs is incorrect.
I absolutely agree that having a quality academic institution and a championship football team are not mutually exclusive. I cannot, however, get on board with your suggestion that ND should have an "easy degree program." There are degree programs at ND now which are less than rigorously demanding. Players know what classes to take if they want to take them.
I’m not trying to be impolite, but you’re a moron
Yuppers!!! Class of 79 here, I took 1 of those jock type courses……Sociology of Sports…..probably the easiest A anyone could ask for. The class was loaded with football, basketball, hockey players, fencers, etc!!!
They didn’t have those classes on the early 60s, I’m sorry to hear that they dumbed down the curriculum
Don't feel so bad, the entire world is being dumbed down.
ND $ is important. ND football is not. Have you watched the garbage teams ND has trotted out for 30 years?
No, ND does not have "easy" majors. As an alum, I say ND should keep it that way. ND is, first and foremost, an academic institution.
Because Urban Meyer knows he couldn't even get hired as a volunteer usher inside ND stadium.
Do you mean the undefeated teams that competed for the national championship
I don't know about that. I think they're going to have to compromise their ideals. Which have no meaning anyway, it's just something that makes ND feel good about itself. It's difficult to think of anything that isn't morally hideous about ND's academic ideals. Quite frankly. So if they're committed to their fussy, self-aggrandizing academic elitism, then de-emphasize football. Or keep settling for whatever they have now. As if LSU or any other seat of higher learning are scumbags somehow for letting in these otherwise non-students in to play football. ND's so-called 'ideals' bring into question the very moral existence of higher education as a social institution. So it's fitting that it should cost them football glory, if they are going to be so unbending in their fealty to them.
From what I've heard over the years the fans way overstate the impact that academics has on the football product and that Notre Dame has already made a lot of pro-football changes to their admissions especially during the Brian Kelly era that has them competitive with most other prominent football programs
Alright, then. I guess there's not much they can do. They're out of wiggle room. I don't want them to sacrifice their academic 'ideals', but that's only because I prefer and am very used to ND having nice choir boys on the roster. Not because it's morally better. Even if ND totally let the football team cheat, and fixed their grades for them, half the roster at LSU simply would not fit at ND and wouldn't want to even be there. So it's cultural more than just always doing your homework.
