Screw ND...who cares what they do at this point.
However, I would never consider them, or anyone else, for selection to the playoffs until they play a 13th game for a league championship.
Wonder whom they will get to make up for Michigan and MSU's loss on the schedule...can't help their TV ratings.
Yeah. Screw Texas and Oklahoma. I don't care if they're undefeated and beat several highly ranked teams during a season - no conference championship game, no playoff berth.
Not saying our guy is someone to be proud of, but Hollis really is a spore on the mite on the beetle in the turd from the ebola carrying monkey swinging from the top of a cage in sparty's vet school.
Agreed. I went to high school with his daughter and she was a pathetic whiny rich kid.
The fact that Hollis always gets to be on NCAA boards for tournaments and playoff stuff makes me always paranoid that he will find a way to screw Michigan.

The B1G teams should all agree to never schedule ND again in anything. Make them travel a fair distance for every, single sport they play.
the continual courting of them to join the B1G combined with the pomp with which they anounced their rejections was ridulous. Don't play them in anything and every B1G team gives up a good swim meet or lacrosse game or tennis match every year. It costs ND 14 important potential opponents in every sport they play.
that ND-Purdue was/is the premier rivalry in football between ND and the big ten teams????
ND has a NCG appearance that they baccked their way into (Gdamnit Pittsburgh) but besides that hasn't done anything in years.
but also monumentally stupid. They're watering their schedule down so bad that they will get no national credit for the wins the do happen to get. DUMB.
Making room for IU and Ball State.
...and I hope they beat them by 3 TDs. If they play Purdue, I hope the Boiler's do the same!
Quote on where a neutral site game would be played in the future.
"“Logically, it would be Midwest,” Hollis said. “Notre Dame and Michigan State have a reputation for taking games to national and global locations. So I think anywhere on the planet is probably in play."
Reportedly Purdue, Service Academies, BC, Wake, Duke, UNC, and Syracuse are a heavy enough schedule for them.
When you actually read the thing, it doesn't sound like anyone is actually chickening out, but rather that both teams are packing their schedules, and neither team have the same slots to fill when it comes to games past where the contract stands right now. Hollis comes off far more annoyed and pragmatic than chicken.
But, really, Hollis is right here. The megaconference shuffling and changes in scheduling in the past few years have messed with a lot of stuff, and this looks like one of the casualties.
