Great competitor. ND man all the way!!

 

[PLACforever]

Nice. He deserved it after the block he made on GA3's first return for a TD.

 

[DaBLKIrishman]

Congrats 2-4 !!!! Men like him is what makes ND 2nd to none.

 

[Ultimate Penn St. Hater]

[sportallyr]

Glad to hear they rewarded the kid for all of the hard work he has done for this team. Congratulations Chris Salvi!!!

 

[military_irish]

Great to hear, he deserved it.

This is what I love about Notre Dame. Hard work and determination can pay off. Same situation as Bobby Burger a couple years ago. Congrats, Chris.

At SEC football factories this would never happen.

My thoughts exactly. Just another reason why ND is special. Congrats!

 

[rtrn2glory]

very happy for him.

 

[phgreek]

Happy for this kid. He wasn't going to be denied, and he fought his way onto the field. This is an affirming moment...the kind that will serve as his reservoir later in life...he now knows he can compete anywhere, against anyone, at anytime...waiting for him to start a business...when he does I'm in...

 

[NDdomer2]

Very happy for Chris, but let's be honest. If we are recruiting at maximum level this scholarship isn't available.

 

[Walter White]

Well deserved.

 

[NDJimmy]

domer2, bah! humbug!

I love it when one of these guys shows up. Comegrabrelations Mr Salvi! You deserve it.

 

[BeauBenken]

Congratulations to Chris.

Take your tampon out

Nice. He deserved it after the block he made on GA3's first return for a TD.

Congrats and all of that, but if that is all it takes to get a football scholarship at ND, we are in deep trouble.

Why? We have open space and it's for one year. Why not reward his valuable special teams play

He is saying that he got it for more than just that one play and if we do give guys a scholly for just one play, then we are in trouble.

This young man got a scholly for all his hard work and determination.

You win! I supposed I should have /sarcasm'd font'd.

 

[Redbar]

I am proud of this young man and this decision.

 

[BGIF]

Very happy for Chris, but let's be honest. If we are recruiting at maximum level this scholarship isn't available.

Lou Holtz used to hold a scholarship to reward a deserving senior walk-on and he had some of the best recruiting classes in ND history. Seems like Kelly is emulating a shrewd coaching policy.


Well done Salvi and Kelly!

 

[NDdomer2]

Everyone can think I am being the Scrooge or bleeding but I don't think anyone would be saying poor Salvi if we would have held on to Darby, Greenberry, Decker.

I wasn't thinking "Scrooge" but you have a way with words, Scrooge.

 

[NDOM]

Am I the only one that does NOT understand this move? I'm sure Chris is a nice guy and all but if we are supposed to be building a program back to winning ways don't you think it's a waste? I do. Just because the guy made a play or 2 last year they give him a scholly?

Ummm if you ask me you could give that scholly to a player that will actually help us WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY more than this guy does. Wasted scholly for sure but that's just my honest opinion.

But to be nice about it.................congrats, I think.

Yes, you are. Chris is a fifth year senior, meaning that giving a scholarship to him won't affect the recruiting numbers for next season.

Good. I'm glad it's not wasted and thanks for clearing that up.
