My take is that of course ND is always going to make more money if football is winning. Hopefully now that millions of annual revenue is explicitly enshrined in the CFP contracts it will entice us to be serious about competing for titles.
“That pressure has been on Notre Dame since Knute Rockne," he said. "That's not a pressure quite frankly we shy away from. That's a pressure we accept. As a lifelong Notre Dame fan and as an alumnus, we thrive on that pressure. There's an understanding that Notre Dame football - maybe more than anywhere else in the country, certainly as much as anywhere else in the country - is part of the DNA of this university.
"We know that is a key priority of ours," he said, "not only to stay relevant, but quite frankly to win a national championship and be the best.“
Michigan sucks

As in Kurt
So nicknamed because he felt he hadn't played in a game unless he got his uniform dirty, so he always made sure he did.
Despite a less than storied career other than his feud with Tommy Lasorda, he did hit two home runs in the 1984 World Series for the Padres.
of sticking a couple of wads of bubble gum in the cracks in the Johnstown dam?
I believe this fact, along with his epic putdown of Tommy Lasorda, immediately qualifies Kurt Bevacqua for induction into the Hall of Sustained Mediocrity. (See the Fantasy Sports board for more information.)
The Padres won one game where Bevacqua was the hitting hero - still the only World Series game they’ve ever won - but got absolutely obliterated in the other four games by the 1984 Tigers.
And yes, he is a first ballot Hall of Sustained Mediocrity member.
And I think it sounds delicious.
This fucking moron's playing Hazel.
One of my favorite scenes of the show
Hopefully, he wants that feeling back again and sooner rather than later.
the games he chose to watch as a student. Didn’t seem to make much of a mark on him.
I was happy to have experienced a 36-11 record, esp. given what happened 2 years after I graduated.
When JS was a senior, a Grace soph was so upset when Irish fell to 7-3 (after bad loss at Pitt) that said soph called Hesburgh to complain about Devine. Of the long bill of particulars against JS, his concsious lowering of standards from the standards of his time at ND is high on the list.
for the team and make it (playing for Lou) like Pete did. So we have that going for us, which is nice.
Jack was always a small time and insecure loser, yet somehow also an egomaniac.
Thanks for this video
He’s much, much more likeable than his predecessor. A low bar, I know.
