Totally a fair point that wasn’t lost on me. I don’t often see other coaches advocating for other

teams, though. Maybe I just don’t pay enough attention to press conferences etc since they are usually a bunch of cliches. I’ll even add in the fact that he’s probably grateful that ND came along and joined the ACC since Clemson was really the only school that wanted to play this year up until that point. Probably some politicking involved for sure but I think that there’s probably some sincerity and respect involved in it as well. Just nice to have someone on NDs side when the national media and many other coaches seem to have such an irrational disdain...
