I hear you. But ND is absolutely in a position to stem the tide, at least to some reasonable degree. But they choose not to.

Your current AD said this earlier this week:
“Everybody in the industry has to take responsibility here. I’m not excluding myself from that,” Swarbrick said. “The decision-making lost its way in terms of the focus on the student-athlete and what’s primarily best for them. But we are where we are and we have to try and make it work.”

It is the “what’s in it for me” mindset that is throwing everything off (not just at ND). “Me” can be conference commissioners, school presidents, athletics directors, board members, boosters, … even head coaches to some smaller degree.

ND won’t be able to hold out forever. Bevacqua’s an agent of change. It’ll be calculated and strategic, but it will happen for the betterment of college football.

I wish Swarbrick and your current President had half of his foresight and gumption instead of hanging onto the antiquated notion of independence, which has indirectly damaged the sport that provided Notre Dame with its identity as a college institution.
