I agree they were mislead, but it's not an excuse to be a whiney little bitch. Have some integrity and respect.

Rudy was a so so movie, and even my grandparents don't remember the 4 horsemen, the Gipper or any other bullshite Domer fairy tales.

It's time to start treating ND like any other CFB program instead of some sort of royalty. I mean, the playoff committee leaving them out is a good start, but this isn't the norm.

Why won't the top SEC schools schedule home and away games with ND? Because they don't want the non conference competition. Dey scared of ND.


Georgia did just that a few years ago and beat them in both games. No one is scared of Notre Dame.

IDK why any of you are bitching about this, it will become a thing.

Florida State should have declined the Orange Bowl bid when their starters opted out.

Look how that one turned out for them.

Maybe instead of schools begging for a bid the bowls will have to sweeten the pot to entice teams to come play.

What a novel concept.

I mean it's shitty for the players who wanted to get a free vacation to FL during the winter time. Like there midwestern dudes who have never seen the ocean in person.

I’m for it. Anything to bring more chaos to the system.

That is great. It will protect young boys in the bowl city from the priests traveling with the team.

You can't have your cake and eat it too. FSU fans always defended their 1 loss team getting in over undefeated WVU because WVU got blown out in their bowl game.

The non-playoff bowls should have never made it. And that goes with the playoff now, the 4 team playoff, and the BCS.

If you don’t make the playoff, take your a$$ home, don’t embarrass yourself with participation trophies.

Georgia already did that and the Barn has a home and home scheduled with ND too.

Respectfully, I disagree.

If this is how the program handles “adversity” … parents and coaches need to think twice before sending their kids there.
Life’s too short for that kind of petty.

Many of those young men won’t play NFL ball; they’ll never get these games back.
Opting out because of pure sour-grapes … awful sportsmanship that they’ll end up regretting.

I have to say that non-playoff bowl games do seem a little silly at this point.

Think I read or saw somewhere that two other teams have done the same and have been fined, 500k
