With the coaching carousel already mostly having run its course, many are expecting an under-the-radar name to get consideration for the Michigan job: current Cincinnati head coach Scott Satterfield
Sources confirm to @byameek.bsky.social that Michigan has fired head coach Sherrone Moore. (ESPN first reported).

I have a hard time engaging in the “join a conference” debate because every realistic option seems miserable. The Big Ten is trying to do private equity deals without full participation, the ACC’s own members want out, etc.
Personally, I think more teams would enjoy being independent.

Personally, I think the special treatment is playing 12 FBS games, losing 3 (two decisively) and still making the 12 team playoff.
For the better part of a half-century, Notre Dame has insisted on playing by its own rules. Now that the Irish aren’t getting the special treatment they believe is their due, they’re throwing a tantrum.
Notre Dame football whining like spoiled child over CFP snub
Notre Dame football keeps whining because it didn't get special treatment from the College Football Playoff that it thinks it deserves.

Very weak stuff by Bevacqua. The ACC didn't even go hard against Notre Dame in the press, explicitly to avoid this kind of outcome. Notre Dame got screwed here and Bevacqua is looking for someone he can bully as a result, which I get, but c'mon
Notre Dame AD Pete Bevacqua to DP Show on the ACC: "We were mystified by the actions of the conference to attack their biggest partner really in football...They have certainly done permanent damage to the relationship between the conference and Notre Dame."

Look I get it but they played in the Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl two years ago. My best guess is the players got together right after they got their hearts smushed and made a tough choice. I hope they don’t regret it!
I mean there’s definitely some lighthearted digs to take about Notre Dame being too big to grace a meme bowl with their presence
But most bowl games have been mostly meaningless for decades and honestly, good for the Irish for spending the holidays with their families & not at an exhibition game

Was watching this at a Steelers bar, you could not imagine the insane energy in that room.
Isaiah Likely may be physically unable to score a touchdown.
That drop may cost the Ravens their shot at the playoffs as they turn the ball over on downs 3 plays later.

That’s fine 🤷🏼♀️
I do wonder if this goes down differently if there’s no weekly selection shows and ND just finds out today they’re the first team out.

I get the emotion of it all and the possible logical explanations for them doing it, but this just comes across as petulant loser shit.

My brother in Christ, I promise you I would not give a single shit if Pitt opted out of a bowl game. Kansas state did it last week and I didn’t make a peep.
If Pitt did this, you would have a different tone. Whatever. Your team is a bunch of quitters.

Curious if this was a team vote situation. If so, understandable because of injury risk, etc. I do think this is the natural progression for a sport that has made the playoff *everything*.
10-2 Notre Dame announces it will not accept a bowl bid after missing the playoff.
