Day has benefited from transfer waivers so of course he will be in favor of them. My guess is Notre Dame is will cooperate eventually. They need the ACC this year and are likely to play BC.

BC923 {l Wrote}:Per twitter, Jaelen Gill has been granted immediate eligibility should we play this year. Can’t imagine what the hang up with Jurk is
Rumored that Ryan Day vouched for Gill's case, while Notre Dame did the complete opposite. No idea if true though.
I believe both happened. With Gill, claver2010 at 7:53PM yesterday points out that Gill didn't fit Ryan Day's offense and was stuck behind extremely talented players anywhere he'd play. If Day threw his full support behind Gill's effort to transfer, citing these factors, I could see the NCAA doing the easy thing and going along with the waiver. Why would Day do this? It indicates that he has the best interest of his players and staff at heart, which helps his recruiting long-term. Look at how classy and secure Day appeared to be with Burrow and Hafley. He also has a soft spot for BC, and knows it's unlikely this will blow up on him personally unless BC somehow meets OSU in the CFP. We hope for a 'ship, but obviously unlikely in the next couple of years.
Phil Jurkovec's in a different situation. At the time of the transfer, it was clear his departure was related to his treatment at ND. It appears Kelly (and Tommy Rees) had elevated what was said to be the less talented QB, rather than focusing the offense on the skills of the more talented one. Something akin to how the Pittsburgh Steelers demonstrated John Bunting's misuse of Willie Parker at UNC.
It's one thing to maintain a scheme to serve multiple 5* players, rather than change for a single 5* player. It's entirely different to maintain an offense to serve a less talented QB, rather than to adjust so that you fit the skills of a more talented QB.
ND was never going to cooperate in Jurkovec's transfer. Doing so undercuts ND's depth at QB. More importantly, Jurkovec's success will redound negatively on Kelly and Rees. That will be moreso the case if Jurkovec plays well THIS season and shows what Kelly (and Rees) could have done with the ND offense--if only they had been willing to change the scheme to suit their personnel.
So ND fights, forcing BC and Jurkovec to decide how far they want to go to secure the transfer. Do they want to air all the dirty laundry, knowing ND will fight all the harder? That kind of conflict intimidates the NCAA, and will lead them to drag this out as they try to decide what to do. Probably the best option for them is to wait and see if CFB gets canceled before they have to decide.
There's no "securing the transfer." He's transferred. The question is whether he can play this year. Turns out, may not matter. They are all getting waivers for next year.

The CAA (which includes some solid FCS schools like Maine, Villanova, Delaware, JMU, etc.), decides to suspend football conference play this fall but allow individual schools to still play an independent schedule, and they will explore playing conference games in the spring. Seems like they are saying if you can find someone local to play or still play a nearby power-5 team and get a payday, go for it.

Dick Rosenthal {l Wrote}:I do think there is a college education bubble that is in the process of bursting—it was coming anyway, but t DXC he Wuhan Virus has sped the process up considerably. A lot of small liberal arts colleges are going away. Non-flagship state schools are going to largely go away. Private universities are going to have to get less expensive with some exceptions. And everyone is going to have to offer cheaper on-line options—even places like Harvard, Princeton, MIT, Stanford are going to have to offer at least some graduate degrees in a cheaper on-line model, especially in the humanities because the value proposition can’t justify the current cost model.
Harvard, Princeton, MIT, Stanford are going to be just fine. Why? That $350,000 piece of paper = $100,000/year at age 22.
NYU Professor Scott Galloway gets into the numbers. Basically Covid-19 is going to "cull the herd" in academia. Yale, Harvard, Princeton, UVa, Michigan, (and yes, BC, you guys are Tier-1) they will be fine. They will be fine because the 1% already know that the degree from those schools automatically get your son or daughter the social/professional network connections and the 6 figure salary at age 22. That is because they will be working for someone who ALSO got that Tier-1 education. Operation Varsity Blues, that was the reality for the 1% who had to sell their souls to get their fuckhead children to maximize our 2020 economy.
The Tier-2 universities (places like where I graduated) are going to get screwed. Parents are just not going to "send" their kids to a Tier-2 school, pay $47,000 for one year of education, just so their kids can sit at home and watch a Zoom/Skype call. Covid-19 may END them. There is a HUGE number of 2020 high school graduates taking a gap year (or if all they can do is Zoom calls, community college will be fine) and the Tier-2 schools, they don't have the Yale endowments and they will go bankrupt (or likely, they will just "cash out" like Pine Manor did with BC.) This year will mark the single largest DROP in university enrollment since 1942. We all know what Notre Dame had to do with the United States Navy when their enrollment dropped in 1942.

I'm real happy to hear that. Every assistant's #1 job should be recruiting. If you don't get the recruits, you don't win big games. You go (at best) 7-5.
Problem is, I heard the same comment 7 years ago when meathead joined the team. He went on the record stipulating that every morning he would have all his assistants go over exactly where each one of them were with their potential recruits. Look at how all that turned out.
Talk is cheap. We need results. Hafley gets a pass this year (and maybe next year) because the team is completed hollowed out of any real talent. We don't even know who the QB will be, that is assuming that there will even be a season. But he needs to do a far better job with the recruiting than meathead ever did.

The kid hosting seems to have his act together. Someone must have thought it would be better for him to host, as opposed to MeatBaum?

The ACC is looking at a 10+1 schedule with Notre Dame counting as conference games. That makes for more meaningful games but also makes for a tough first year for Hafley.

I am holding out for greed. A football less fall will wreck college sports. Lots of cushy administrators are going to be out on their asses and non-rev sports are going to get cut to the bone.
The pro leagues have billionaire owners who can backstop things and use covid to control future costs. College isn't the same model.

Except that the pro players in the unions, unlike the college football players, have millions of reasons to be greedy too. And for the bottom 25-50% of them, far less ability to backstop.
