Football takes top priority

And it's been shitty for football. Those games are horrible and they tank our SOS, as well as our overall cachet. I don't care about the bowls outside of the playoffs and I think "crucial" oversells the point.

One could argue whether this dip was foreseeable and whether it's indeed temporary. The ACC had some lousy years immediately preceding ND joining the conference and it's on a pretty bad stretch right now. Regardless, my main point was that it was a bad move for football and any ancillary consequences as a result of that decision are on Swarbrick.

I really don't care much about soccer and, besides, I think we could be doing just fine in another conference. Look at the baseball recruiting right now under Stiffler. The overwhelming majority of recruits come from the Midwest and Northeast. We don't need to be in the ACC to land those guys.
