Team USA has six immigrants and over half the players have dual citizenship. If this Nazi administration got their way the team wouldn’t exist.

Instead of discussing how Elon Musk is now the world's first trillionaire, we should talk about how he killed hundreds of thousands of people through his dismantling of food and medical aid to poor countries

This week alone:

DOJ opens an investigation into the woman Trump raped.

The White House is caught steering a $620 million contract to Don Jr.’s firm.

The Pentagon hands out a $10 billion contract after Trump buys stock in the company.

Foreign governments are caught funneling hundreds of millions into a random JPMorgan account tied to Trump’s “Board of Peace” with no oversight.

It’s just Thursday.

The corruption isn’t hidden anymore. It’s happening out in the open.

Honestly pure dictator shit. A real democracy would immediately imprison him for even trying this

[Bryan Driskell @CoachD178]

You want an explanation? I'll do this thing that people call research and make an argument based on data and not feelings.

So what's the value?

There is plenty of value to anyone who is being objective and not trying to write a hit piece. For example, you brought up North Carolina and their ticket sales .... that was a beautiful example of cherry picking data to support a preconceived viewpoint instead of actually making a real argument.

You can cherry pick UNC, how about cherry picking Pittsburgh?

Their average attendance for ACC home games the last three seasons is 49,947 with only three games over 50K. The most is 58,667 (Clemson, 2024).

Attendance for the Notre Dame game? 68,400.

Attendance for the Miami game two weeks later? 49,845.

How about Georgia Tech in 2024. Average attendance is 39,745 with a high of 47,358. Attendance for Notre Dame game? 59,021

Duke in 2023. Average attendance was 24,847. Duke vs Clemson game was 31,638. Attendance for the ND game? 40,768.

Same year, Louisville. Average attendance was 48,797. Attendance for the ND game? 59,081

You could write this story for the vast majority of ND vs ACC games. Since ND joined, ACC teams sellout 23% of their games. They sell out for 90% of the ND games.

Now, if you actually want to do your job and learn things, go look at the ticket prices for those games when Notre Dame is in town. Specifically, go look at what tickets were going for when Pitt played Notre Dame compared to when Pitt played Miami. So it's not just about "selling out" or "average attendance," the overall revenue increases far greater because Notre Dame games are almost always considered premium or marquee games.

Actually, I'll make it easier for you. I'll show current ticket prices for ND vs UNC, Louisville vs UNC, and NC State vs UNC. Do some math, even if each game is solid out, you really think they are making even close to the same revenue in those games? Anyone trying to tell the real story would have discussed this. By not doing so it comes across as pure spin.

Let's go look at TV numbers in ACC vs ACC games and then go look at the numbers in ACC vs Notre Dame games.

Miami was the ACC's most viewed team in the regular season by over 7 million. 29% of their total RS views were the ND game.

How about common opponents?

Pitt
vs. ND - 3.96M
vs. UM - 2.22M

Syracuse
vs. ND - 1.89M
vs. UM - 1.20M

Stanford
vs. ND - 1.52M (despite 10:00 PM kickoff)
vs. UM - 1.21M

How about common leagues? Both teams played a really good American team.

ND vs Navy - 3.4M
UM vs USF - 740K

Go ask ACC coaches why they always schedule their big recruiting weekends when they host Notre Dame. Go ask ACC coaches why they use getting to play Notre Dame as a pitch with recruits.

Finally, I'll use your own words. You wrote this:

"Notre Dame could solve the ACC’s possibly existential crisis in an instant. All that is necessary to ensure the future of the league is for the Irish to join as a full member, possibly even while dictating some of the terms it would prefer, such as retention of its lucrative TV contract for home football games."

So you're telling me that the best path forward for a dying league is to alienate a team that could solve it's problems?

In a small market, it is bigger than basketball. They are more than just our heroes, they are part of the community here in Memphis. In bigger cities, superstars can hideaway, but not here. BC embraced that and will always be a Memphian. It means more here than other places. Hate on Memphis from afar all you want, but you won’t find a more caring basketball family.

15 forever.

life can be so cruel.

Threatening to wipe out an entire civilization is an immediate disqualification, not an “oops” you can cancel out with a 14-day truce. He’s volatile, he’s dangerous, and he’s unfit to continue. Remove him.

Spain’s Prime Minister, on the ceasefire, says Spain 'will not applaud those who set the world on fire just because they turn up with a bucket.”

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it.

This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.

Trump's recklessness is needlessly putting our brave service members in harm's way, destroying America's global standing, and making life even more unaffordable for the American people.

We must all stand against this and oppose funding this illegal war of choice.

[Roose @RuNoseP]

i do not care if Trump's comments result in nothing tonight. no one who even thinks of saying the phrase "a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again" should be allowed to operate an ice cream stand, nevermind the most powerful office on the planet

Biggest selection screw-ups in history:

2) Alabama over Notre Dame

The final averages for Notre Dame guard Hannah Hidalgo from one of the best seasons not just in Fighting Irish program history but in the history of the sport:

25.3 points
6.9 rebounds
5.6 steals
5.2 assists

She's the only player this century to average 25/5/5/5.

Special.

I was a federal prosecutor for ten years. Going after corruption was the job. And I’ve never seen anything as openly corrupt as this.
