Quote from: MUBurrow on Today at 11:45:52 AMWhen Iowa State and Kansas State decided to forego bowls, they each agreed to pay the B12 $500k.  When ND opted out, the ACC got nothing.  ND just wants the best of both Independent status and faux conference affiliation all the time.  I hope all the bad things in the world happen to them and only them and nobody else.

The ACC could have done the same as the B10 and said 'No' to ND.

Quote from: Vander Blue Man Group on Today at 11:54:18 AMI don't think strictly looking at PPG is the best way to analyze our offense vs. our defense.

Our ORtg on KenPom is 119th and our DRtg is 82nd.  Both awful but at least this particular source says our D is considerably better than our O.

Fair enough. IMO, I see Shaka's offense generating plenty of good shots and I'm mostly frustrated by the shots they don't take rather than the ones they do.

Quote from: WhiteTrash on Today at 11:10:34 AMMU's offense is light years ahead of the defense. If we could shoot at a reasonable (not great or even above average) clip, we'd be significantly better. Shaka's offense (#120 PPG) looks fine to me, the defense (# 252 in PPG) is an abortion.

Quote from: Pakuni on Today at 11:09:25 AMNotre Dame very mad because the ACC did the unforgivable by advocating for one of its members.
Just when you think the Domers couldn't get any more insufferable.

After having time to ponder it seems an ND ploy to extract more money from the ACC somehow.

Quote from: Pakuni on Today at 11:22:49 AMNotre Dame cares too much about its nonrevenue sports to park them in the Big East.

That sounds right. ND will extract it's pound of flesh from the ACC some other way.

Quote from: MU82 on Today at 11:15:40 AMNobody knows whether or not Shaka will change his philosophy after a painful season. Also, nobody knows if Marquette will start losing players we want to keep; so far, that has happened 0.00% of the time under Shaka.

But speculating is fun, so carry on ...

Agreed. Plus MU and fans will judge Shaka on wins and loses. As long as everything is above board and ethical, nobody cares what the system is, they care about the results.

Personally, transfers or no transfers doesn't matter. Wins do.

Quote from: MU82 on Today at 11:07:11 AMNice. I'll meet you at Harry's a couple hours before tip. Where are we sitting for the game?

I think it's similar to where the families of the Christians being fed to the Lions sat in the arenas back in Rome.

Quote from: WhiteTrash on Today at 11:15:01 AMI don't really care who's right or wrong, but any hopes or dreams the ACC had of ND becoming a full time member have died. Maybe at better basketball conference home in the BE makes sense?
