In college, the unofficial (or official if you’re really a pro) start to the weekend has always been Thursday. If we hold on to that truth, then this has been kind of a wild weekend for Notre Dame and its athletic programs as I type this on a late Saturday night in Indiana.
On Thursday, Jack Swarbrick and Father Jenkins had an op-ed published in the New York Times that was basically a call for union-busting, while disguised as some type of savior manifesto for college athletics.
While we will be going in depth about all of that Monday night in the newest Earned 5-Star Podcast, I’d be remiss if I didn’t point out one of the absolute best things about college athletics — tribalism.
