There is a lot of commentary that the fact that we've seen so much "Northern" (non-SEC) team success in the past few years is because of NIL—and that under-the-table pay-for-play in the SEC was a big part of their recent dominance. It's possible that NIL actually works in Cal's favor

Watched 5 minutes of the game. In the NIL era my interest level in pay to play is slim.

We don't get any revenue share if Notre Dame wins despite their ACC adjacency. So absolutely no rooting interest.

It will be interesting to see if either Harsin or Rolovich are up in the box.

Hope Famika is down on the sideline with the troops.

Band noise CAN NOT be too loud!

Unfortunately not as loud as the two dogs downstairs that have been barking for almost two hours.
