Whatever NCAA. Feels like ND has had self imposed sanctions for 30+ yrs. Please, will someone make ND a power house once more.

This is a classic example of the ineptitude of the NCAA. These sanctions, even if they are reversed, scream loudly “Don’t self report and do like ND and internally address the situation.” The country’s sick and tired of pinheads running the show. ND supporters can be a little paranoid, true, but after last weekends horrible display of biased officiating, it’s time to circle the wagons. Firing Kelly now would send the wrong message to the NCAA and college football. It’s time to fight Irish!

You can’t put a Notre Dame football team on the field with a lack of integrity and leadership like we have not seen for a very long time with BK and those who have been his predecessors since Lou. We have made tremendous mistakes since saying bye to Urban Meyer and now have to face reality ….a reality we should have recognized 20 years ago. Big time College football may be dirty but we may have been able to bridge the gap somewhat with a coach who understood the environment and philosophy and maybe the distance we needed to overcome between an academic standard and a nationl championship. This pathetic state was in the workings for a very long time.

The NCAA announcement today must be the last straw. For the good of the university, I believe it is time to wipe the slate clean and start anew.

If Kelly survives this something is up. No other coach would survive this. He has been a major catastrophe since day 1. All the stuff that happened on his watch is grounds for termination We Are ND n We must act like it and niws the time

The problems goes deeper than Brian Kelly. It starts with the administration, Fr. Jenkins, Swarbrick, and trickles on down. Nothing will change until Fr. Jenkins is replaced, and then Jack Swarbrick, and then Brian Kelly. There are too many elitists at Notre Dame now with their new agenda. They want to be “Ivy League” in academics and now it has taken over football. With the trailer trash artificial turf, to the crappy NFL style ghetto music blasting on the intercom, to the new video board next year. Wow, 700 million dollar buildings and prices that just keep going up, and what a great product 4-8, after next week. Of course I am being sarcastic with the “great” product remark. I have supported ND my entire life and finished graduate school there, but I am so disappointed that instead of Almighty God being worshiped, it is all about the almighty dollar now. They need to clean house and the fans and alumni need to send a message by boycotting the football program until they can get a decent coach who “Gets” Notre Dame. Unfortunately, the elitists do not want Notre Dame to be Notre Dame, they want it to be a watered down Ivy League school or Stanford or Northwestern. We are not that ! We are supposed to be ND. Now ND means No Different. There are still good people there and they do a lot of good, but there are some upper administration people that need to be voted out.

GO IRISH! 🙂

In reply to James.

ND wants too much out of their athletes.
Why aren’t there general studies majors available to these football players?
They are begging cheating by forcing football players to attend rigid courses, taught by full profs and students payingfull freight looking to go to med school or ascend in other disciplines.

Just one more example of how ND can’t run a 21st century football program.
Offer a watered down track for guys that can’t hang academically and have one bad option, cheating.

Then, we don’t have to read disruptive ESPN.com and USAToday articles that lump us with the institutions that actually cheat.

Kelly’s NCAA probation officer will not permit him to travel to California.

Kelly embarrasmment to Notre dame. I know the trainer committed the cheating but he is the leader. I wish Notre dame could have got a bowl ban penalty. Then they would fire him. He has run a very diappointing program. He has had more problems then any other coach at Notre dame. Fire him now!

When it rains, it pours. 0-13 for both 2012 and 2013 per NCAA today? Is part of this the Golson hangover?
