1) ND declining to give them their bowl money DID hurt, and also worries them about creating a precedent that will really hurt them.
2) They are very aware that their CFP as well as ESPN lost a lot of credibility with the entire sports world wrt how the CFP teams are actually selected.
The world saw that the ststem is rigged, and they are trying to turn it against ND instead.

…and simple.
ND opened the door to the Miami debate. Can’t complain loudly.
On the other hand if Miami wins it all…the exclusion of ND in favor of The Crimson Fraud looks that much more inexcusable.

…League there are new concerns.
Opposing coaches will whisper in recruit/transfer’s ears “Do you really want to take the chance of playing for a school that has the possibility of being dropped out of the playoffs even when deserving?” “You may miss the opportunity to showcase your talents on the big stage.”
Though unseemly to pursue…really makes this shit actionable.

get embarrassed somehow (not saying we would, just could), we could see the same results that FSU did when snubbed. I feel like that affects recruiting even more than what we did.
Damned if you do and damned if you don’t.
...in protest essentially.
That was ND's choice the first was not...
The playoffs are the "big stage"...
Other bowl games now barely qualify as exhibitions...since so many routinely sit them out...
