'15 NV S Nicco Fertitta (Notre Dame Signed NLI)

[Bogtrotter07]

I want to see this kid go Rocky all over the asses of every team we play this year!

 

[Veritate Duce Progredi]

I hope Fertitta can be a heat-seeking missile (HSM) on special teams.

 

[BobbyMac]

Nicco's story is a great one because the kids game, REAL game but he will have some good talent coming in behind him '16 and I'll go out on a limb right now, an All American difference maker safety joining him in '17.

Hopefully he turns into an Joe Schmidt, that will make the story even better but I won't hold my breath on that.

More realistically, I hope he turns into a leader on this team, regardless of playing time. His life is set, he's a heartbeat away from being a billionaire BUT when others see him being the first to the weight room and the last to leave study table it will show them what leadership really is. What I wish for most for Nicco Fertitta is that he becomes a captain at Notre Dame, regardless of how his playing time shakes out. Great athletes come and go, great leaders are a much rarer commodity.

I know we all think that Nicco probably doesn't have a scholarship to ND without his father, but let's give credit where credit is due: This kid can flat out ball. Looking forward to seeing him on special teams for the next 4 years, and would love to see him get a shot at some real PT.

Didn't realize he was playing this year, great play Nicco. He's gonna be a special teams ace and that should be a key area for us moving forward. All the championship teams excel in Special Teams

He has played on special teams in every game and even spot safety. Get your head in the game GB.

Stone Cold Lock of the Week of the Century:

Nicco will play's Farley's role as the occasional nickel specialist after this year, and will blow up many more screens and have many more sacks than Matthias (who has played it well in his own right).

 

[irishfan]

The play he made on that kickoff was even more impressive considering Butler blew contain and it looked like it would be a long return. Love how he ripped the football out so easily. Type of play that could win us a game (with a recovery) against Clemson or SC.

Agree. Even though everyone was hating this offer at the time, I always loved this kid in nickle.

Forbes Welcome

Wait... Does this mean that we have a current player on our team worth $53M?

Holy $hit...

A public filing yesterday revealed that the brothers are set to take Station Casinos public. Each brother will get paid $112.5 million and the brothers’ children, who won two trusts, will receive $53 million each.

Right? So can players pay recruits? Asking for a friend

 

[BobbyMac]

If I got $53M from my folks, I'd give up my scholarship and then talk Davis, Kelly and McCulloch into commiting as PWO's.

If I received 53m, I'd get my own place and be major dedicated for the next 3-4 years. I'm sure Fertitta could earn a 5th year as a special teams or secondary contributing ace. Then his ND degree will become very valuable as he grows those assets.

Hope Nico stays grounded, that money makes people feel like they have no boundaries. Smart people realize it just means they have a lot of leniency in their life choices, and won't be bound to a cube.

 

[rtrn2glory]

He already played this year didn't he so he prob won't get a fifth barring injury

That money won't change him. It's not like he woke up in a doublewide this morning and won the lottery. He's already the son of a billionaire, he has whatever he wants and his $53M is a trust on top of that, he'll get whatever disbursements his father and his Whiskeyjack's set up.

 

[dublinirish]

isn't it generally the 3rd generation of money that screws everything up?

Ha ha, really good point. For some reason, I didn't think through it all the way.

 

[Rocket89]

Looks like papa Fertitta is about to get a lot more money soon.

UFC owners in advanced talks to sell promotion

The owners of the UFC are in advanced talks to sell the business, sources told ESPN.com.

At least four bidders are believed to have submitted bids for the organization, including WME/IMG, China Media Capital, The Blackstone Group and Dalian Wanda Group. The winning bid, should things proceed, is expected to be for a valuation between $3.5 billion and $4 billion, multiple sources with knowledge of the negotiations told ESPN.com.

Lorenzo Fertitta, who with his brother Frank owned more than 80 percent of the business at last public acknowledgment, told CNN in December that the private company grossed about $600 million in revenue last year. Besides the Fertittas, who are each worth about $1.6 billion, according to Forbes, the company has two other minority investors: UFC president Dana White and the Abu Dhabi government, which, under its Flash Entertainment arm, bought a 10 percent stake in the business for an undisclosed sum in 2010.
