Exactly, i was just using 1mil as a starting point. the going rate would likely increase with ND's desperation. Eventually they'll break or the "scheduling fee" would level off
Not much stopping him from taking the Michigan job if they come calling, and probably easier to get kids to go from ISU to Mich than ISU to PSU
Tebow didn't win the Heisman his freshman year. Johnny Manziel was the first. So yea, not any better.
Except that even the crap teams know they have negotiating power if ND NEEDS to get games scheduled. Why ask ND for $1M if you are pretty sure you could get $2M. Or $2M if you could get $3M. Maybe they could get some D2 or 3 school to play them for cheap, but considering their attitude, if I was an opponent they were trying to schedule, I'd try to squeeze them for everything I could.
Do we think they'll really join a conference? I assume it would be for another sweetheart deal to pay for all their non-revenue sports, but would want to maintain their football independence.
Southern Miss promoting Blake Anderson, which is an interesting choice after how he got fired by Utah State at his last head coaching gig

"Michigan Man"
Wasn't that the reasoning behind leaving FSU out several years ago before the playoff expanded? I think it was QB injury and the selection committee said, I think, they aren't the same team that came in undefeated.
Pretty sure it was a parody. But honestly, I'm not sure. The voices sound like the same people.
Does the $21M come from tv revenue from football and basketball? If so, and they receive $4.5M from road games, that seems like an incredible deal that really favors them, otherwise I would expect them to have to pay a share of the $21M from their own tv revenue (which I think may be a point you made in the comment about taking $30M or the difference from the $21M share and their revenue, correct?).
You'll never have alignment from all the P4 to not schedule ND. There will always be a Wake Forest or Purdue or Miss St that will say , "sure we'll add you to our schedule but we can't do it for less than 1 million "
I mean why would teams from the P4 choose to schedule ND now. A good OOC loss hurts way more than a win against a terrible cupcake with conferences moving to 9 games.
Yeah this is what I am hoping for. Notre Dame to pay out $30 of their $51M TV deal.
One of the funniest comments is "Ages like fine wine", as it continues to age well.
Well about half of Iowa States class were released today from their Grant of Financial Aid so expect a bunch of PSU commitments the next few days.
im way more worried about the OC hire than Pry tbh. Apparently he interviewed at Arky and MS St but stayed here.
Looks like I need to inform my Michigan alum girlfriend that they need a new coach.

Her comment: "I didn't even know we had a head football coach."
Got it. Thanks!
Campbell is probably hitting himself for jumping at the PSU job too soon
Franklin got burned at PSU this season by hiring big name coordinators that didn't pan out well. He is therefore hiring guys he knows and trusts as coordinators from their prior work with Franklin. Based on Franklin's resume at Vandy and PSU prior to 2025, this could work out very well if VT supports Franklin as promised.
I think this was mostly the fact that they didn't have a coach and he was not in a position to promise one or to even know if he'd be there next year. They really undercut any sales pitch he may have been able to make.
Penn State fans may be pretending that getting Campbell was the plan all long, but the apparent bouncing from candidate to candidate gave them no foundation on which to build anything.
Or the alternative is that other teams just start extorting them for money. Oh, you want Toledo to come and play, that will be $5 million.
