There is a huge difference between Louisville and Notre Dame. We are talking about the biggest name in college football with the biggest fan base across the country. The tradition of Notre Dame, the money they bring to the table, and the fact they could be 12-0 should be more than enough to give them their fair shot.

Plus Louisville had no issue walking into Pittsburgh and win with ease, while ND needed pure luck, a choked field goal and officiating help to win at home.

What would draw bigger ratings, Bama vs ND for all the marbles or any other combination of games? I guarantee the ratings for that game would go though the roof.

Bama vs. Oregon would draw more. More intrigue for the true football fans.

But they were eligible enough to embarrass State Penn at the Beaver.

I thought of you after that game.



So fun!

unless 2 teams Ahead of nd lose, they are OUT. Bama passed them in the bcs computer. as long as the other teams keep winning they will pass nd too. nd is out of computer points.
the voters don't like them enough to save them........ for now.

bama vs anyone would draw ratings. you are aware that demographics have changed over the years?


for instance, bama vs michigan was the same time as usc vs hawaii. the bama game blew the so cal game out of the water ratings-wise.

I'm pulling for the State Penn players this year. they are being punished for crimes of crickety and disgusting old white men which they had less than zero to do with. Let's punish the teenagers at State Penn, that will fix it so says the NCAA (No Credibility At All)!! I'm sure this post will get the howling, braying monkeys out in full force here. I'm gonna go back to cleveland sporty things now. Good bye.

They had the opportunity to transfer.

You're just a contrarian douchebag.

somewhat, but why would a 5th year senior who may actually be a student transfer??....and I guess them getting their degree would not be punishing them at all, so I see your point I guess and in fact I was the one being the braying and howling monkey as normal!

I have the viewpont that it was a criminal case and the criminals are in prison and those who were invovled in the coverup are dead or no longer affiliated with the university. I'm not sure what particular NCAA violations occurred. It was to make them an example of football and basketball taking on an obscene place at a university and that is fine, but football and basketball having obscene importance at universities was not stopped whatsoever by the hideous situation at Penn STate.

As long as you can make an example of someone is good as long as nothing changes which it hasn't.

So what. Most of them went to Penn State with the dream of making it to the NFL. To think otherwise is naive.

The smart ones are just useful idiots to boost the GPA.

i know, but there's still those that aren't "most". And most didn't transfer as you spend 3 or 4 years in one spot, starting over is not too appealing especially when many in their 4th year now fully realize the NFL is likely not coming.

I was a NCAA athlete. It's corrupt as can be. Pardon me while I cut some onions.

I'll be back with a heartfelt tribute to those po' widdle fif year Lions.

Then why does the NCAA feign outrage when corruption occur?? Do whatever you want. The fif year Lions committed zero crimes that I can see regarding this particular criminal case. Penn STate is corrupt as anyone else regarding things not regarding this criminal case I understand that.
