I know people are giving ND a hard time for skipping their bowl, but ESPN has been ******** them for a month. Guess who controls pretty much the whole bowl system? ESPN/Disney. If ND can help blow up that system and give a big middle finger to the SEC/ESPN, then good for them. At least it is a small consolation prize. This is the first step to burning it all down at ESPN's expense. Seriously, every single game had ESPN announcers with the same talking points, trashing ND. I am sure it came from the top. Burn down their bowl system and don't apologize. Costing them millions.
