Woe, Notre Dame ...

From The Athletic:

Here was Notre Dame head coach Marcus Freeman at a Fighting Irish hockey game, playing tour guide for the coach he wants to bring in as his new offensive coordinator — Utah’s Andy Ludwig. It was very public, and gave every indication of a done deal.

Except Ludwig isn’t Notre Dame’s offensive coordinator. News broke last night that the school is expected to promote tight ends coach Gerard Parker to the job. How did we get here?

Notre Dame had every intention of hiring Ludwig. The main issue was Ludwig’s contract buyout — steep at $2.8 million — which the school either didn’t know about or hoped to negotiate down. Utah balked at any discussion, and Notre Dame bowed out.

Stewart Mandel smartly points out that losing out on Ludwig isn’t earth-shattering. But this is Notre Dame, an old-school college football blueblood in a sport now swimming with money.

Even outside of Notre Dame looking cheap, Freeman gets shafted here. He clearly wanted Ludwig. He made a public showing of it. Then he didn’t receive the support necessary to get him. Not exactly a confidence boost for the second-year head coach.

Deion Sanders has told dozens of Colorado football players to take a hike. Just cut them unceremoniously. CU later!

I get why he's doing it, and he apparently isn't doing anything against the rules. But it's worth remembering it the next time some coach shakes his fist at the clouds about "disloyal" athletes transferring or "greedy" athletes insisting upon receiving NIL money.

The timing of this seems really weird. 26 guys have hit the portal since their spring game over the weekend. No way he fills all those spots. I don’t follow college football recruiting but I imagine all the high school seniors and half way decent transfers are committed to a school already. 26 is a lot

Btw, I’m rooting for Coach Prime and the Buffs. I love Boulder and think it would be cool if they shook up the college football world

Deion to Colorado is a great story, that's for sure. Either he turns 'em around, or he goes down in flames. Either way, it's big news about a guy who's bigger than life.

From The Athletic:

NCAA 24 is a go

This was always the final step: College football players — the actual people, not RB #8 — will be in EA’s new college football game, the company announced yesterday. EA says they’ve figured out a group licensing option, which will help players be compensated for appearing in the game … which is the whole reason the game went away a decade ago. It’s set to return next summer.

It's about effen time that the athletes whose images are used for video games make some coin from the sales of those games.

Exactly.  I bought a PS5 not right when it came out, but not long after either.  I played a tiny bit of some FIFA, NHL, NBA 2K, and Madden but never consistently.  I played the Show a bit more, but again not much.  I haven't turned it on in at least 6 months.  I would've sold it, but knowing NCAA video games are returning I figured I'd hold onto it.
