Another question to the ND Board of Governors: In first signing their exclusive tv deal with NBC Sports, ND officials said that they would use the annual $10 MM + rights fee for minority scholarships. Where is the accounting for these monies?

Willingham sucked and so did his "big picture". The Cleveland Browns fired Butch Davis for the same reason.

You either win or your ass is out. Willingham did not win, it's that simple.

Malloy's assistant, Chandra Johnson, said Wednesday that she had shaved her head to protest the firing.

Well, that certainly accomplished a lot. Nothing like a meaningless, stupid gesture!

As the NBC exclusive contract has been in force for some 10 years, the procceds to be accounted for by ND should be in excess of $100 MM. It is certainly time for a full accounting by the school's authorities.

As an Irish Catholic who hates ND, these have been some of the happiest days of my life. It's great to see them screw up the situation so badly.

You can argue, that Willingham didn't win enough and that he never should have been given a 5-year deal, but the problem @ ND is that the BOT is interfering and running the place. They should let the AD and the school president makes these decisions. Until the BOT removes itself from the process, ND will will suffer b/c most coaches don't want to work in that kind of environment.

I hope ND doesn't figure it out.

They did NOT say that the money would be used EXCLUSIVELY for minority scholarships...the TV money goes support student financial aid.

Malloy's assistant, Chandra Johnson, said Wednesday that she had shaved her head to protest the firing.

She must have some O'Connor genes.

Goodbye Willinghambone - you stink. Maybe you should try sacking groceries at Saveway.
