on that little bug from Wuhan. Never will they question their own actions to effectively trash their football legacy and embrace the glitz as the cause of their fiscal misfortunes. They built the Altar of Crossroads as their gaudy symbol of excess for all to see and marvel - except it will now be now known as their legacy of lost honor, cluelessness, and inverse ticket scalping.

And they won't change a thing. They've hitched their ride on visionary Savvy Jack and his relentless monitoring of the college football landscape, and there's no going back. And in years to come when they roll in that new statue of cheapened achievement, it will be "Goodbye, Head Coach Brian Kelly for a job well done" - and "Hello, new Head Coach Tommy Rees for more of the same".


Stadium nicer now than anytime since 98

I get what you're saying about getting top dollar and alienating long-time season ticket holders and fans with huge price increases. In my opinion, that's more a sign of our MBA-analytics times than it is Notre Dame. Everyone feels the need to squeeze the last penny out of every customer experience.

But the Crossroads project was as good as you're going to get. The 98 expansion bastardized the stadium and made it hideous. Crossroads was a multi-functional expansion that will be used in the fall whether there are football games or not.


Yep - they will define crossroads as a total success

and will say "see, we told you so" when athletic departments elsewhere fail and they have offices and classrooms.
