This thread had been the most interesting and informative thread on this site in the decade I’ve been reading it.

Very sad indeed.

If he left because of a very mild comment made by Dale, I guarantee if it wasn't Dale someone else would have pissed him off the site this spring. Dude was never going to be here long so let's not blame it on a good poster. Merck was a flight risk from the start, already had a bad track record being overly sensitive to people who don't kiss the ring on his finger on other sites

Cue the downvote brigade lol

Yeah honestly if you can’t handle Dale, don’t be around here at 11 PM on a night we’ve lost a football game.

Those are the threads that separate the wheat from the chaff.

Anyone have any good corned beef recipes? Another dead thread

I use liquid smoke to flavor my brisket.

 

[Cackalacky2.0]

tbh what a mod could do if they had the time is just delete literally every post in this thread that aren’t Q&As directly from Merck or Bua so that we have all the receipts and don’t have to go wading through all the muck to find them.

Time will reveal how good the info was, but I know I’m interested in seeing how accurate this all was.

I’m glad I finally got to know what Davonte did.

We only potentially know... we still can't get the story on this and we were so close!

Some posters watching this become a food thread rn

I would say everyone one of us is a little of both depending on gameflow…

Same posters realizing that they will have to pony up a few bucks for all of their hot ND rumors and gossip.

Pony up? I pay for 247 and ISD. Cant remember that last time we got big time intel let alone "rumors or gossip" from them. Come at me all you want, but I thoroughly enjoyed those 2 being around here.

Now we go back to "247 posted an article...anyone have access?" posts

I don't think I "came at you" and enjoy who you want. Was not posted specific to anyone.

You're good bro. I was referring to everyone in here acting like those 2 aren't going to be a big loss around here. Those same people who act as if Merck and Bua wont be missed haven't brought shit to this site for years.

Between all the collectives, there’s a shade over $30 million in available funds, currently.

Notre Dame’s collectives/the program roughly set budgeting, but those numbers aren’t set in stone, and fluctuate.

Last year, between high school NIL, portal, and roster retention, Notre Dame was well over $15 million. (I’m not going to provide the exact number)

However, let me give you an example based on Notre Dame’s approach:

$20 million budget

60%-70% would go for roster retention

15%-20% would go for portal additions

10%-15% would go for high school NIL additions

The breakdown would look like that, but the full breakdown would vary depending on how the order of priority works out in the end.

Does that answer your question generally speaking?

So let’s do the math here assuming 25 incoming players, 8 transfers through the portal just a rough number and 52 players of current roster retention.

With a $20 million budget they’d be spending at 65% $13m for roster retention, 20% portal would be $4m and the remaining 15% $3m for incoming HS players.

We know not all current players get paid evenly but avg would be $250k, portal additions would avg $500K and incoming Freshman would avg $120K.

To think Underwood is getting $3m/annually from the Skunkbears would be absurd if true.

I think 247's biggest problem is that Prister and O'Malley only want to write articles and not deal w/ rumors or gossip.

I appreciate it.

Not that I've added much either tho... (no italics)

 

[Dale]

Nobody is stopping Mercke retuning if he would like or creating a Bua thread that doesn’t have a million questions, he’s on right now. His willingness to go H2H with Bobby and dance in the Political forum shows staying power.

Nonsense you are the hot one.
