good read. but the guy at the end irritated me. why does someone always have to make ty's firing about race? christ, he couldnt recruit that well, and he had about a 500 ave. granted charlies isnt much better now but most of his losses came from one year with ty;s guys.

The Ty comment bothered me also. As an African American, I feel that race may have played small part in his termination. But then I have to ask myself, "How many other instituions have even given an African American the opportunity to be a Head Coach?" Then I have to wonder what is more racist, Ty's firing or the horrible African American graduation rates at other top football programs? So when I hear fans of other schools brand ND as racist, I wonder why these fans don't call out the Ohio State's, Florida's, USC's and LSU's of the world. How can these institutions continue to make millions off these athletes and fail to educate them? So although ND isn't perfect, it is head and shoulders above most programs.

i honestly didn't like the article. the examples for some of the points were a stretch and talking about the la market imploding with usc football was weak. not all of la rides the usc football train. most people are more into the dodgers. of course people are on the bandwagon but its not as big as people claim. it really just sounded like someone whining about usc winning by breaking rules. i dont care how they win, let the ncaa worry about that. i only care about nd winning. usc had nothing to do with how bad we were last year. we play by the rules and still get the recruits we need to win a championship. so as long as we're winning the right way that's all that matters.

Anytime someone wants to put down USC, I'm all ears.
