So, if the Vision “mantra” is - graduating student athletes, help prepare them for life after college, and win championships, when does that third part ever kick in?
Asking for a friend.

It may be all about the NIL dollars these days. In addition to these numbers: 7618 vs 1748

Nah, the 97-98 squad under Brey was pretty darned good. I see Dave's point, because it seems UD is stuck in mediocrity until or unless there's some sort of tipping point. Any great player that has a decent year is just going to transfer out from where UD's program stands now. This NIL and transfer c...

NIL money is tied to the personal brand value of each athlete, not the sport itself. So I guess the school could argue there's no value, whereas the athlete would have to prove that there is. In a non-revenue sport I'd think the school would have the better argument.

Yeah, let's slam the guy's resume and then welcome him with open arms.

Who really cares? And who cares what their message board is talking about? Never understood why folks get all worked-up over a broadcast. Just keep winning and give them something to talk about next time.

Oh, and Merry Christmas to all!

Love seeing the progress, but there's a bunch that needs to improve. In this age of the NIL it may not be that far away, who knows? And at some point you have to make a coaching change to get us to another level as well. Not sure how you do that coming off a bowl win, so it may take a bit of time.

Horrible call. Horrible throw.

Wow, “Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!”

Well, now that our new UD President has strong ties to Notre Dame ....ya just never know.


Realistically, I'm with you and think Brey is done with the college nonsense.

What reads are you talking about? The Hens throw some deep outs and deep over the middle quite a bit. The ball gets there okay (yes late a lot and sometimes off target) but it surely isn’t wow NFL stuff. It just isn’t. I hope NM gets there and does it for one more year at UD. But he doesn’t have th...

A throw to the line of scrimmage. A throw for a 3-yard loss. And a sack for negative 10 yards more. What exactly is the offensive game plan here?

It’s already over, but our guys don’t know it yet.

Oh goodie. 3 plays, 1 yard, and a chuck it up throw to nowhere. Gonna be a long day.

This defensive scheme is bad, no doubt. But a portion of the blame can also be attributed to the lack of skills and the ability to control the game at the qb position. Can’t keep running your D out there after a horrendous offensive showing. They go hand in hand. Geeze this guy is bad.
