it's a game for college kids headed by a billion dollar organization. You won't prove/prosecute game rigging unless there's a whistle blower and the FBI is involved. Even then, everyone would likely try to sweep it under the rug and reprimand the guilty behind closed doors.

They beat teams we thought were good at the time but turned out to be not good. Then everybody figured out how to stop KJ Jefferson and they sucked again.

Last year they lost to a 5 loss michigan, a 6 loss Vandy, and a 7 loss OU.

the liberal states gave up on sports after the Pete Carrol dynasty fell at USC.

I don't care about defending Brian Kelly. I hate seeing people claim that Freeman would be a good replacement.

Yea, I feel like all of these administrators and deans just try and get enrollment up.

One thing that really bugs me about this comparison, that I rarely see brought up is the blatant disregard of logic and circumstances. When BK left ND, NIL was a new/unknown concept and it was a 4 team playoff. Now, your wealthy donor can straight up buy players and it is a 12 team playoff. ND is a shoe in to make the 12 team playoff every year and everyone talks them up non stop. BK would’ve been in a 12 team playoff for the last 5 or 6 years he coached there. ND alumni are also heavily invested and football and have deep pockets, it’s no surprise AT ALL that they can field better teams now than when BK was there. And then the next talking point, “o well ND beat Georgia and made the natty final”. OMG. Sure they beat Georgia, whose 2 year starting QB got injured in their conference championship game. Everybody loves to ignore that. The playoff committee didn’t think FSU could even qualify for the playoff when their starting QB got hurt, but yea we’ll just ignore Georgias QB getting hurt cuz he wasn’t that good. He only threw for 4,000 and 3,500 yds in his 2 starting years. I’m sure them throwing an underclassmen who had never started a big game into the biggest game of their season didn’t matter at all. It’s ridiculous. Who’s else did they beat? A bad Indiana team at home and a classic underachieving Penn state. Comparing the 2 is really like a fight where 1 guy has a hand tied behind his back and saying hey look that 2 armed guy is better. BK had ND in the national championship game in his 3rd season too, without NIL.

Now I don’t care about BK, and I agree it was probably time for him to go. But don’t go around and say Marcus Freeman looks like a great replacement. The guy is clearly overrated and gets credit for losing to good teams and beating bad teams.

It was cancelled because his numbers were shite AND THEN he alienated half the population with stupid remarks about a recent political assassination. Disney is going to make money, that's what they care about. They aren't going fork up the money to provide you a platform to get the equivalent viewers of a low level sec football game. He will piss and moan about free speech and fascism. But this simply comes down to the free market, and people not watching his lame show.

Wouldn't that just delay his entrance into the NFL?

The eagles are reigning super bowl champs.
