Why are they just now bringing this up? You seriously think this is the first time something like this was found?


Conveniently when controversy about USAID is making a big stink politically in the U.S.

The Eagles clearly were. The Chiefs probably weren't. They were fortunate that the Ravens were -3 on turnovers on the road in the snow in Buffalo.

Direct U.S. funding for NATO as an organization is effectively peanuts (about $600M this year). We contribute about a sixth of the overall operating budget of $4.0B - Germany matches us dollar for dollar.

I don’t think anyone is expecting it to rival any of the big sports league ratings. I have no idea what espn typically does on a Tuesday night but I would guess this is a decent bump.

ND loses five guys on defense and three on offense.

Offense:
- Lose QB Riley Leonard, TE Mitch Evans, WR Beaux Collins
- Top 8 OL return assuming Schrauth and Craig don't have lingering injury issues (both were starters and had season-ending injuries against Purdue in September)

If so, does anyone know the range of the original face prices?


Upper deck in the Notre Dame section face was $450. Best seats in the lower bowl were either ~$800 or ~$1600 depending on the seat.

Upper deck is going for ~4 - 5X face right now. Lower bowl is going for about 3 -
