    Brian Kelly Revisited (RIP BOZO)

    I'll say it: I think the Brian Kelly hate has gotten out of hand. It's easy because he's not very likeable but he did a lot of good things for ND. I also think he is a good coach but lost his fastball, so to speak.

    My wife made plans to watch with some family friends of ours tonight. I like them and they are ND fans (on a very casual level) but I would really prefer to be at home so I don't have to self-regulate.

    I don't think the line movements are really based off the model. These models have consistently liked ND more than the spread. I suppose there are lots of low information people out there who bet based on brand names and reputations betting based on what happened in 2012, 2018, and 2020.

    College Athletics Branding - Name Image Likeness Rules

    Kavanaugh's opinion was a concurrence that 8 justices read and declined to sign. It has no precedential value but it's full of juicy quotes so reporting on the decision focused on that. It is not law. The House settlement is deliberately sidestepping these issues. It's been known and openly...

    It is an exceptionally well coached team.

    I think it's definitely better than the 1993 season.

    The supreme court never said they have to be paid and never adressed Title IX or NIL at all. Amd the House settelement’s attempt at collective bargaining by class action settlement has a whole lot of hurdles in front of it.

    College Athletics Branding - Name Image Likeness Rules

    Chevron deference no longer works at all. I was wrong to use the term statute. The proportionality language is not in the statute itself. It’s from the three prong analysis which has previously applied to gender and sports. Regardless, the DoE’s statement is not that significant or substantive...

    It’s what the statute says. The DoE can do no other. In the case of athletic scholarships the proportionality requirement has apparently meant that 60% of them going to men is acceptable. The difficulty is how to apply the standard; not that it applies at all.

    ND's Talking Heads ... The good, bad & ugly

    Why put it into the universe if there's no evidence?

    This ND team would absolutely murder 2023 Washington.

    With Freeman as head coach you can absolutely take a risk on an inexperienced DC.

    Marcus Freeman named Dick Corbett Head Football Coach

    There's something wrong with the data. Weis only lasted five years and went 35-27 (the 56.5% is correct though).

    Chicago Bears address

    Since my kids showed up, I had to choose between following ND and the Bears and made the obvious choice. So I don't generally follow the NFL. it unusual for teams to publicly announce who they interview? It seems like a pretty low-rent PR stunt to try and placate the fan base this way.

    Thanks, I could have sworn this was his second year at Texas and third overall.

    2025 Transfer Portal

    Unless he's a grad transfer he would have to enter by today, wouldn't he?

    I would also be a little worried about the fact that tackles have to play more in space and do more lateral reaching. Playing the left side would help some (he injured his right pec/shoulder, IIRC) but OSU will have opportunities to test it.

    How they approach this is going to be pretty significant to their game plan. If Baker is in at LT (and Jagusah at RG) I think you try to leverage Baker's run blocking and are less eager to drop back. If they want to pass then Jagusah at LT/Spindler at RG is the better combination.

    I am perhaps delusional but I think Leonard's second half against PSU was the best he's been in the passing game all year. It's probably not a coincidence that it also looked like some real trust grew between himself and Greathouse that hadn't been there with any of his targets this season.
