By any reasonable judgement this was a successful year 12-1 and in the playoffs. Ticket and TV revenue great. So I can’t imgaine that anyone in the Admin cares about another blowout. For those in the know, do the members that run ND think the team can ever win a NC again. Deep down I believe Kelly, much like Brey, knows it would take an act of God to win a NC. Am I wrong?
track and field from the Chinese Olympic’s. Find a wealthy donor who wants his name on it with a half dozen phone calls, NEXT in line.
This is the case at every school. Over the past couple of years I visited several schools while my kid was choosing a college. The one constant at EVERY school we visited was a flat out construction boom going on at every campus. I couldn't believe it, but after a while I just came to expect it.
The unis need to pledge greater amounts of the loan proceeds for the useless crap being built on campuses. Touring colleges is a waste if everyone is doing the same fucking thing. Academics will be compromised. Unless your kid is going to Harvard. They put a halt to all new construction when their endowment got hit. For them, it was nstructuon, not construction...,
his death or no money. Elbows and assholes working 24-7. Hockey arena = one family. Debartalo Center, the halls with family names. Student loans! I take it you’ve never been there.....
I haven't been to ND in quite some time. But I'm asking for all aggregate institutional debt. Having a name on a building doesn't signify the named person paid for the entire edifice. Most cases, they paid for naming rights. Again, if there is debt at a university, the buildings aren't the collateral, it's the student loans...,
Basketball is a different story because ND has never been an considered an elite basketball school. There are any number of schools than can win a NC in basketball including ND. If Loyola can get to the Final 4, ND can. ND was a last 2nd shot from a Final 4 a few years ago. I also think basketball is looking up with the new basketball facility likely being a big boon to getting gettable high quality recruits we have in the past.
With that said, I still feel Kelly is a very good coach but not a great one.
I have the same opinion of Brey as Kelly. I do not believe either one has what it takes to win a NC. . They are good but not great coaches.
This is a stupid successful season by any measurement in the post-Holtz era---The current landscape does not allow ND to dominate but to occasionally compete for a shot at the NC (like this year).
I just don't know when,
There is always hope, but it is hard to keep the faith.
I may be wrong, but the administration seems happy because of the graduation rate, we sell lots of tickets and overpriced fan gear. I do not believe not winning a national championship bothers them at all.They consider a season like this a roaring success. I diasagree about Mike Brey, I feel he makes his own problems. The best coach we have in any sport is Muffet.She knows how to get it done consistently.
