Mike & Brett sign off on their 5th season of the pod, handing out final grades to the '25 Fighting Irish and look head to '26. Spoiler alert: Freeman and the Irish are in prime position for ND's 1st national title and Heisman in 4 decades.

@PeteND91 This article is great. It’s hard to definitively determine who spends what. But depending on the source ND is either inside the top 5 or just barely outside.

Notre Dame now appears likely to be ~top 5 in player comp across all CFB.
Incredible how NIL rule changes turned a huge weakness into a huge strength for the Irish.
Allowing NIL payments truly opened up the floodgates and may have finally fully awoken the sleeping giant.
Notre Dame’s good enough to win a title this year. Now let’s have Alabama get boat raced in the SEC Championship and still keep them out of the playoff.
Notre Dame lands 5-star offensive tackle Olu Olubobola (6-6, 295) from St. Peter's Prep, the same program that produced Brandon Wimbush and the Ademilola twins. Chose Notre Dame over Miami, LSU, Texas A&M, etc.
The most interesting part of Notre Dame’s kickoff time release isn’t the four night games. It’s the lack of a Peacock-only broadcast. Thought Notre Dame might move an ACC opponent (or two) to NBC’s streaming platform.
Price to Seattle with the last pick in the first round.
That’s TWO ND running backs in the first.
The NFL confirmed what we knew all season: this was a historically great RB room.
Nick Saban: “They always tell me how hard I was to work for. We never had a meeting at 6:45 (a.m.) in the middle of the draft, OK? C’mon.”
Marcus Freeman: “We got class. We got to go to class. I got to get them out of there so they can go to class.”
The Notre Dame difference.
