Brian Kelly says Norte Dame could boycott CFP semifinals if team families are not allowed to attend

Opting out of the CFP would be a huge recruiting tool for OLotPT. Huge.

I think “ threatening” to do it IS a great recruiting tool.

He should think before he speaks.   It makes him look less intelligent to make a completely idle threat.  he probably could have made his point in a way that didn't make him look like a jerk.  Oh wait...that's right he is one.

Won't their losing by 100 points tomorrow make that demand moot?

too funny...but my guess is they will get in anyway

The difference between Brian Kelly and Dabo Sweeney is that Dabo can occasionally say something that makes him seem like a jerk and Kelly can occasionally say something that makes him seem like a reasonably nice guy.

True.

They're very much like Pete Carroll.

I think he thought clearly  BEFORE he  spoke.
Standing up for his players and their families hardly has a downside. Even if he loses the battle he scores more points by thinking long term.

I disagree.   If he had thought before he spoke he could have fashioned a much better opinion on it instead of making a childish threat that no one would take seriously.  I have no problem with him calling out California.  I hope they do move it.

For those of you out of state that are not aware, Warden Newsom is about to face a recall battle.  Moving it would just be another stain on his inglorious tenure.

But none of that excuses Kelly.  I actually thought it was one of Kelly's least offensive outbursts, but he still comes across as childish and petty.  He is just completely incapable of acting like a mature adult.

Yeah, and when ND gets sent to the Rose Bowl? And ND goes? Kelly will look like a fatuous blow hard.

Trojan is free to replace "look like" with the verb of his choice.

Nails it!!!!

“I’m not sure we’ll play in the playoffs if the parents can’t be there,” Kelly said on a Zoom call leading up to the ACC title game. “Why would we play if you can’t have families at the game? If you can’t have families at bowl games, why would you go to a game where families can’t be part of it? What’s the sense of playing a game in an area of the country where nobody can be part of it?”



Well, idiot, the point is to generate the television revenue that’s so important to paying your seven-figure salary and keeping the NCAA afloat. That’s why we’ve had a football season this year, even though all the other fall college sports got moved to the spring. That’s it. And maybe Kelly hasn’t noticed, because his head is too far up his own ass, but we’re now passed 300,000 American deaths, and December has been the deadliest month of the pandemic here. So maybe pump the brakes on saying it’s so important to have players’ families at football games that you might not want to play if they can’t attend.

“It makes no sense to me to put a bunch of kids on a plane and fly them all the way to California to play in an empty stadium,” Swinney said, almost getting it before swerving into idiocy.

“That makes zero sense to me when you have plenty of stadiums where you can have fans and, most importantly, you can have families. It should be the same for all four teams as far as the opportunity that you have. This year everybody has had to make adjustments. To me, that would be a simple one to make.”

Yes, everybody has had to make adjustments. People have stayed away from their loved ones at holidays, people have had to figure out how to work at home if they’ve even been able to keep their jobs, and people have had to say final farewells to dying relatives on video calls because they couldn’t see them in person. And Swinney and Kelly are big mad because they might — might — have to spend New Year’s in the California sun, but without players’ parents? In order to protect those parents from traveling and possibly contracting a deadly virus?

To whom?  Certainly not his players, their families, or recruits.

Precisely to them.

It's not how one looks to his sycophants that counts ( a lesson lost on those in the GOP, or Big 10 fans), it's what one truly is. Kelly is an ass, no matter who decides to kiss his.

I think your well documented disdain for Notre  Dame football is standing in the way of logical reasoning.
