I mean, it's practically slavery! Poor lads!

Cue the, "They're there to be athletes, not real students!" sports bro talk.

I, for one, look forward to the day when ND decides enough is enough and puts together a conference of teams committed not to being a minor league football program. How do you like that?

If Penn St doesn't win it'll be because they didn't run straight at Boise 90% of time [NT] - jrdjr84 - 10:25pm 12/31/24 (33) [View All]
- Penn St hasn’t been very impressive, IMO. Boise < IU, imo [NT] - Domer From Hell - 10:46pm 12/31/24
  - Which illustrates that there are too many teams in these playoffs. These games have been lame. - MAS - 10:52pm 12/31/24
    - Game tonight was competitive...and it's good to see a non-Power-5 team have a shot - SanJoseCAFan - 11:02pm 12/31/24

        I don't have a problem with a college athlete dipping into the money pot that is ... - SanJoseCAFan - 11:11pm 12/31/24
        If ND has any integrity left, it will have to opt out of this madness. - MAS - 11:17pm 12/31/24
        Dipshit alert. ND will leave nothing….they have made hundreds of millions….. - KWIRISH - 10:43am 1/1/25
        Yep, thanks hillbilly. Say, how much payroll would be too much? [NT] - MAS - 10:59am 1/1/25
        
        Bull shit better to be in the arena than playing for feelings in a so called ethical conference. [NT] - THEISMANCARR - 11:41pm 12/31/24
        Opposite of feelings: Integrity and honor. If you can't delineate those things, you aren't - MAS - 11:46pm 12/31/24
        We are still more honorable than the rest and I will never look forward to college sports where we - THEISMANCARR - 11:56pm 12/31/24
        Boy, there's some damning with faint praise. Now answer my question: - MAS - 11:58pm 12/31/24
        
        You mean...opt out of the playoff...or opt out of NIL for their players... - SanJoseCAFan - 11:18pm 12/31/24
        Opt out of paying college students to play football. - MAS - 11:21pm 12/31/24
        And how does ND get ahead of the curve? - SanJoseCAFan - 11:22pm 12/31/24
        I know, sonny, that's my point...they don't have to...and they shouldn't. [NT] - MAS - 11:24pm 12/31/24
        Stick to basketball, don't want your opinions telling us to give up football which made our - THEISMANCARR - 11:45pm 12/31/24
        You're getting emotional, like the kid. I never said, "Give up football." Quite the contrary. - MAS - 11:48pm 12/31/24
        
        So...don't. ND can unilaterally ignore the portal and not give out NIL. - SanJoseCAFan - 11:26pm 12/31/24
        I know! Like, everybody knows ND exists to win football games! Good deal, bro! [NT] - MAS - 11:44pm 12/31/24
        Without football ND would not be that well known. And yes, I am a graduate, but I want no part - THEISMANCARR - 11:50pm 12/31/24
        ND Fans wouldn’t be that well known? WTF are you even talking about - WoodstockIrish - 11:24am 1/1/25
        I edited it by leaving off the word fans. Sorry for the confusion. I am proud of my degree but I get - THEISMANCARR - 11:49am 1/1/25
        
        "Going woke!?!" Hilarious! Yeah, that's me! Just sit down, gramps. Your feelings have been hurt. - MAS - 11:53pm 12/31/24
        Well if we don't participate, sad for us. [NT] - THEISMANCARR - 11:58pm 12/31/24
    - Boise was right there tonight when that called-back touchdown occurred. - SanJoseCAFan - 10:57pm 12/31/24
      - They were always going to lose this game. Twelve teams is stupid and pointless. Arizona St. may be - MAS - 11:04pm 12/31/24
        Oh...stop it with the histrionics. [NT] - SanJoseCAFan - 11:13pm 12/31/24
        I'm mocking the histrionics of kids like you. - MAS - 11:18pm 12/31/24
        I guess the athletes never put themselves at risk, now more than ever. [NT] - THEISMANCARR - 12:09am 1/1/25
- If Penn St wins it's because Boise has missed 2 field goals and had a touchdown called back. - SanJoseCAFan - 10:39pm 12/31/24
  - If Penn St was boring with play calls and pounded up they gut they'd have 40+ [NT] - jrdjr84 - 10:48pm 12/31/24
    - You could say the same about ND. Pound the rock with Love & Price. [NT] - SteveM - 10:56pm 12/31/24
