We have to get this done in the next few years...

...but not because of sustainability issues. I bitch about Swarbrick and Bevacqua but they've been strong on program infrastructure and it is indeed sustainable.

But the erosion of Notre Dame's ability to fend for itself in a cold hard world of Big Ten Suckhole behavior continues. National championships won't solve that completely but they will sure help.

The next TV rights rounds, and related conference shuffling shenanigans, is I think 2032. We need a better position by then. Winning cures a lot of problems.

All that having been said, I agree with you. Best shape the program has been in since 93, both in terms of the long-term issues and in terms of this year's prospects.

College football has no idea what's coming. #revengetour26
