My phrasing wasn't the best. But imo, its rather silly to hope the new AD will remove them (the vacated games) That's what you said, isn't it? They are already vacated. Maybe you mean the * besides the win. Whether one agrees or disagrees with that sanction, hoping that the new AD will "remove them" is going to extremes to spite a coach you detest.
No AD in the world is dumb enough to contradict Notre Dame's official stance on this matter. It's Notre Dame's stance, not Kelly's as you keep repeating.
I am fine with the Irish * besides the games. Notre Dame disputes the NCAA ruling and I am fine with that too.
To call out Notre Dame's bullshit on this (not Kelly or Swarbrick).
Our dispute is based on some faulty and nonsensical logic.
The idea that if we hadn't applied our honor code, they wouldn't have been ineligible, is quite honestly a lie at worst, dishonest at best. There were ineligible players that weren't impacted or part of the honor code process. They were ineligible because they received improper benefits. There is nothing to dispute.
We need to be adults and accept the consequences for what we did, instead of being cute about it. I'd prefer our new AD and President act like adults and accept the consequences for our actions.
