Welcome to the world of big boy college football, gentlemen. Welcome to the big stage. “Succession” is the perfect comparison for how crazy things can get in the sport.
You have to remember that much like the hit HBO show, there is a shocking amount of money involved with college football.

There is an astronomical amount of money flowing in and out of these programs. Whenever you have that much cash, you’re going to have craziness when coaches leave.
College football is the golden child for universities and smart programs do whatever is necessary to protect it. That sometimes means you have to live life like you’re an episode of “Succession.”
Trust me when I say there are a lot more shady conversations happening in black cars and on private jets than you probably realize.

The good news for Notre Dame is they got everything figured out and they’re ready to attack the future with Rees and Freeman leading the way. Fans have good reason to be excited with those two running the show.
