@TJ_Pittinger Dan Lanning is the West Coast version of James Franklin: he wins inside an echo chamber, but the bigger-stage/out of conference questions remain.
Part of being a great coach is having the humility to evolve. Mario showed that last year. Let’s see if it continues.
@mckenzielaw I hear you. Honest question: would Duke take the same stance if it weren’t Miami? There’s a public perception this is all a song and dance to appease/support Manny.
That said, I’m shocked these contracts lack clear remedies.
@mckenzielaw Being a Duke season ticket holder, while also being married to a Duke employee, isn’t a conflict of interest? As for the next judge, the NCAA has no appetite for a political appointee weighing in on employee-classification issues. This will be resolved before the next court date.
@BuckeyesRepeat@x_snooping@CFBGuy999 Why is it pathetic? He has higher earning potential in the short-term if he makes the NFL. Why not exhaust all options to earn as much money with his god-given talents? I would and sure you would too
@coachebrauer28 Will you see the committee erring on the side of caution and keep them out of the top 12 until later in the season—at least until things are clearer toward the end?
@MiltonBryant19@unclelukereal1 His improvement—from a Day 3 NFL prospect to where he was at the end of last season—along with the drop in fumbles and every other measurable area of growth since Washington State, you are credited to his ability to improvise? Got it.
@GabyUrrutia247 You can enroll without signing. Early signing moves to Aug with a second period after the title game. Thanksgiving week becomes an open recruiting window. Start in Week 0, drop conference championships, play the national title the first weekend of Jan, and open the portal after.
@rationalNDfan Let me ask this — and I know it’s a foreign concept. If Notre Dame and Miami were in the same conference and finished with the same record, how do every single college football conference decide who gets the final spot?
Also, Syracuse had 9 new starters vs ND compared to Miami.
@keith_lusco@ChrisVannini@StatmasterSteve Because @espn told you they were? Or is it based on recruiting rankings? Or is it because the SEC tries to play the lower tier of other P4 conferences to prop up a narrative? There is much more parody today than the talking heads want you to think
