December 16Dec 16 12 hours ago, Wishbone said: Notre Dame comes across as reluctant to join a conference out of concern that they would struggle to measure up to the image they have cultivated in the past and lose status as a serious threat to win national or even conference titles. They are upset over this years omission from the playoffs exposing the cherry picking schedule route may not hold up like it used to. Time to adjust expectations and deal with an unfamiliar reality. good takes, and they would trend towards logical, if domer existed in the same universe as the rest of college football witness joe's complete and total refusal to address direct questions that create coginitive dissonance it's an aggy-esque imprint of "special" and "chosen", way beyond entitled they hear spoken words on a different frequency any sec team that keeps their current domer contracts should be villified and shamed

December 16Dec 16 All things considered, ND should go back to refusing to participate in post-season foolery. They need to create an invitational game of heir very own, played someplace that provides an escape from Indiana winters... Hawai'i or the like. Maybe move it year to year, say Qatar, Bangkok, Sao Paulo, Rio.

No, Daniel "Rudy" Ruettiger, the famous Notre Dame football player, did not go to jail, but he was involved in a securities fraud case where he settled charges with the SEC for a "pump-and-dump" stock scheme related to his company, Rudy Nutrition, agreeing to pay fines and accept a ban from public companies, while other participants faced prison time. Key Details: SEC Charges (2011): Ruettiger was charged with securities fraud for his role in promoting Rudy Nutrition stock in a scheme to inflate its price. Settlement: He settled the charges without admitting guilt, paying over $380,000 and agreeing to be barred from being an officer or director of a public company. No Jail Time for Rudy: While the schemes hurt investors, the legal actions against Ruettiger resulted in financial penalties and industry bans, not imprisonment. Other Individuals: Some co-conspirators in the scheme did face prison sentences for their roles in orchestrating the fraud.
Friday at 09:21 PM5 days 3 hours ago, 'stache said: Is that even a crime anymore? If you want to be a legal nit, the SEC (the Washington DC one) does civil enforcement and exists to write big fines. A good lawyer tells you to pay the fine in exchange for non-prosecution by the DOJ. The money man got one year. Also, the redditors in the Game Stop stock bubble could have been prosecuted.

If Texas really one TD worse than anOSU (on the road) then you are very close to #1 IU. There's probably 16 teams with an okay chance to make it through the playoff.
