``For any school that wants to depart, there is a $5 million fee. That’s not enough to prevent anyone from going. The Big Ten is making an enormous amount of money. Is $5 million significant? Yes. Will a school pay it? Yes. It’s not a deterrent.’’
Tranghese mentioned a possible 27-month waiting period for teams leaving the Big East, which would prove ``awkward,'' for players and coaches on the departing teams. He did not, however, suggest it might be a deterrent.
He also emphatically ruled out the possibility that Notre Dame would join the Big East as a football-playing member. Notre Dame plays in the conference’s basketball league and in other sports.
``It’s never going to happen,’’ Tranghese said. ``Notre Dame is not going to play football in the in the Big East. That conversation was held at the time [they joined the league.] They made it clear they had no interest in football.’’

No but seriously, I accidentally hit the button that sorts the Tracker backwards by date and didn't know what was going on at first. Then I spent the last half of my work day opening a TKP time capsule. Productivity at a Max.
Still more on topic than your average Recruiting Thread

Kinda hard not to be wrong, TBH.
I'm just shocked Joe started a thread that got ZERO comments for 10 days short of an octade.
That's what sucked me in. "(9, 9 New)" Had to be a new thread, because all the comments were new.
/sigh
It was the first thread ever posted. Joe was the only member of TKP at that point.
We've desecrated
a historical forum topic.
-Indiana Jones, probably.

Wait...what??!! Does this mean the Big Easy is going to fall apart into something unrecognizable?
Are we going to stay or go to the SEC?
Only if Lawson doesn't transfer
Well they made it through Mardi Gras 2018 so I guess we'll find out next year.
Trained Geese...
I was a bit confused for a second, then I checked the date.
Safe to say that was all of us.
