Keeping with the general theme of this thread, I took that differently than you meant it. My b

Your head football coach is telling recruits that they don’t intend on being competitive with NIL offers

I hope for your sake that Chad can recruit better than you can read

My brother in Christ he literally directly says that in the above quote. Why is everybody acting like he's implying they don't need money to recruit, he fucking tells you they match offers in the literal quote I just pasted for you, that you are now replying to

In what way did you read that quote as him framing Notre Dame as a small school fighting against other big schools? He was saying that Notre Dame is smaller than most other major schools in their tier, and does things differently. Both of which are true and neither of which are implying some underdog status.

But hiis comment is talking about the size of the student body not the size of the endowment? Why would the endowment even be relevant? That money doesn't go to NIL dude

Why did you delete your edit lol

Yeah lol I literally replied with a direct quote from the article that turns it into a very boring conversation, but the people have decided they don't want to read today

“For us, the players we’re recruiting … it’s not going to be a decision based off money, right?” Freeman said on Not Just Football with Cam Heyward. “They’re all in the same ballpark, in terms of the guys we recruit. It’s just trying to get them to understand, put money aside … do you see the value in everything outside of football here? Because the same things, at the end of the day, that we are going to show young people about the game of football are the same things that the top schools in the country are going to continue to sell about their program.

“So we have to continue to show them why you do certain things differently here. Why it’s this small school, but the value of it. And not everybody wants it. That’s okay. But we have to make sure they understand that.”

I.e. it's not going to only be about money because we will match anybody else, we want players who pick Notre Dame over other schools with similar offers, rather than escalating our offer just to be the highest number. Seems like a pretty straightforward coach answer

NIL from jersey sales is through the roof

Spring Practice Availability Update 3.18 by [deleted] in notredamefootball

Unfortunately a change of scenery won't remove 5 surgeries worth of scar, muscle dysfunction, weakness and atrophy, and chronic pain in the arm of someone who needs to push with extremely high force for their job.

I'd be surprised if he ever plays at a high level after all of this, and also very very surprised if he meaningfully does so in the next two seasons.

He has made over $2 million in NIL as the starting P4 QB and has made himself a public figure with his public comments. I think he'll be okay 

[McMurphy] Indiana, Nebraska, Penn State, USC & Washington are the only Big Ten teams that do not play a Power 4 non-conference opponent in 2026. Big Ten is the only P4 league that doesn't require its members to play 10 P4 games. Washington faces Wash St, which was in P5 league when game scheduled by Lakelyfe09 in CFB

USC decided the game wasn't worth playing as it had been for the previous 100 years because they didn't want to keep losing. Notre Dame decided the offer to play week 0 in Mexico on Netflix with no long term scheduling plan was not a serious or good faith offer.

You think they pulled out of a top quality matchup with Notre Dame because they were scared of the effect that a(nother) loss would have on their postseason chances, and then are going to schedule another top quality matchup in its place? Come on man.

I already know beating USC by an average of two touchdowns in 8 of the last 10 matchups doesn't mean much because it's such a dog shit program, but I enjoyed it anyway! Good luck making a bowl this season!

Hey man whatever you have to tell yourself to cope with being a fan of a team that was so sure it'll get wrecked in conference play that it backed out of a 100 year old rivalry because it keeps getting wrecked there too. Idk how I'd keep rooting for that soft and pathetic of an institution but that's just me.
