Just read this on II. The final paragraph can only be described in gif form:

What a weird way to confirm the reporting and the fan base suspicions that winning is his lowest priority.

I’m not even here to say his priorities are wrong, but when you lay it out like that it makes it clear that I should root for ND AND be a fan of a team that gives itself a chance.

I read that email as the BoT firmly laying down a marker to join a modern day Ivy League

Where does that come from? Is that an email to you? Like personally? Or is it a form letter he sent to everyone who wrote in to complain?

Either way that feels super defensive, TBH. Unsavvy. If you're explaining, you're losing.

I got one as a response to my email yesterday.

"In this case, the passion is, however, misdirected"

I am not a big grammar guy, but come on Jack. If you are gonna be condescending at least use Grammarly.

So is Happy Jack saying Ludwig straight up told ND no? Because I just don’t believe that.

Ludwig supposedly said no only after the initial fiasco occurred. He was not going to be seen in public with Freeman if he was not going to say yes, I think.

More seriously, the bigger problem is this: if anyone at ND in any position of authority (President, BOT, BOF) had any problems with how ol' Lady Frames was running the athletic department, he wouldn't be there anymore or he would have changed course. Even when he goes, I don't know that things will be any different from a direction standpoint. But maybe we'd be spared some of the condescension.

Is it true that you used to be able to walk the players tunnel for free up until a couple of years ago but now they are charging $400?

BLUF: So, no formal offer extended and the buyout was not an issue WRT Ludwig. Also, you don't know WTF your talking about. Feel free to donate.

Will enjoy hearing the details when they come out.

It was free, but now it is $10/head. Wouldn't mind if we knew that was going to something to benefit the program, but alas.
