Notre Dame head football coach responded today to comments from Gary Pinkel, Steve Spurrier, and Dabo Swinney...All have, in said in some way, shape or form that Notre Dame should be forced to play in a conference, or not be eligible for the College Football Playoff...
Now, I'm a loyal ND guy, and I feel they should be in a conference, but they don't make the rules, they just use them to their advantage...And I think it's clear that Notre Dame is leaning that way, after starting to play a partial ACC schedule last season, as part of the terms for the rest of Irish sports joing the ACC...If the NCAA made them, they would...But let's be honest, the NCAA likes ND being what the are and relevant...It keeps people talking college football, and they like their taste they get from the Irish...
Pinkel made the silly point of there "are no independents at the next level"...He also went on to say that he thinks every league should have a conference championship...
So, while on the Rich Eisen Show, Kelly was asked about these types of comments...His response was great, and can be considered "Shots Fired!"
"Our situation is that we don’t play any I-AA teams," Kelly said. "I think that when they decide not to play I-AA teams then maybe we could be on an equal footing. We’re gonna play teams that give us a quality schedule and that’s all really we can control.”
Suck on that you SEC and ACC douche bags! Spurrier's South Carolina team takes on The Citadel later this year...Pinkel's Missouri squad opened with Southeast Missouri State, and Swinney and his Clemson Tigers opened the season with Wofford...
Excellent point there Coach Kelly!
You can catch the full interview below, including talk of renewing the Notre Dame Michigan rivalry...
