I have a heard time believing that the general problem we're having with portal players is not wanting to go to class. But presumably that is something for which ND can compensate a player, just like the weather, or being far away from home, etc.

I would appreciate if the program would be a little more open with the press, tbh. We as fans have no idea what's going on, it looks bad- so tell us that it isn't bad. Unless it is bad, in which case I would like to know why it is bad.

I don't know why this would be an ND administration 'issue' as opposed to a football program-specific 'issue,' because of how smoothly the portal stuff seemed to go the past two years.

I mean, that's just sports for 99% of fans. None of us have any control over this stuff. I assume you were upset when we were left out of the CFP.

Delusional, arrogant, oblivious? That's definitely very ND.

Major ND donors need to get on the phone soon and take control, here, after what happened this season. This is not a time to be cheap. Pete Sampson made it sound like they are not cheap when discussing MF's contract negotiations. Not that I trust the ND beat, though.

Why should fans pay hundreds (thousands) of dollars to see an ND game when the program is this cheap? If ND won't pay, neither should ND fans.

Well, maybe if they'd made a decision sooner they would have had a better offensive gameplan vs. Miami. The drawn-out QB battle didn't help the team, from what I can tell.

Certainly doesn't seem like the program/staff know what's going on.

Should we love it? After what happened this year, is now the time to be cheap? Is that how OSU reacted after 2023-24?

So I guess we're not "saving" for that lol Sounds like the program will have a lot of money lying around, maybe they can discount the beer at ND stadium?

He's around, there was a whole series of posts in the MF thread about how he fought with a coach at a Penn wrestling match

Right, but these guys aren't going to OSU instead.

Not a catastrophe, but they're consistently missing on targets.

I don't know why receivers would be allergic to ND, given our QB. Maybe the idea that ND was going to go on a spending spree was just fan hopium. I guess ND is back to being cheap?

In terms of the process, we should do what? Demand they visit ND first? Or just negotiate without them visiting at all?

Yeah, okay, but that's a little too pious imo. They have leverage here, we need the players and want to win a title.

So they're picking Cal in response?

The season from hell continues. Only half joking tbh Maybe this is a case where the loss of Bowden hurt us. Doesn't seem that the program knows what is going on

If we're not willing to match, what are we doing here? Are we trying to win, or not? Money shouldn't be an obstacle for ND. Ever.
