I don't think this is the week for a blackout. Unless, Kirby plans on breaking out the black jersey's, and he's never given much indication towards that as a real possibility. Having Notre Dame in Sanford stadium is a historic event. No need to add anything to it.

I say keep with the traditional colors for this one.

It kinda looks like Robertson is about to be left out in the cold.....That's the way it goes...from what I can see the kid tried his best

BTW, I kinda felt uncomfortable over this "National Attention" that certain people are getting over this display last saturday. Of all these people who were running around in pink and doing this and that in front of the cameras (Lots of that, let me add)...just how many of those people actually took time out to make a donation to cancer research

Winner: Jake Fromm, His receivers and TEs are equal to or better in some cases than the the receivers that were lost from last years team. That is not an indictment of the players that were lost, they were outstanding, but it is a testament to the talent and potential of the players we have that are catching, running, and blocking like no group as a whole I can remember!

Cut the crap about a "blackout", I much prefer to see a "red wave".

A red wave is a little too close to a crimson tide for my liking. If we're going to go the route of some kind of action en masse, I like a black out. It is one of our colors after all, and it looks cool. I just hope we don't see the black jerseys for this game. If there's so much as a whiff of breaking them out for "juice," and the unexpected were to happen and we lose, then we'll never see them again. Not saying that's the way it should be, but that's the way it is.

I've suggested before, and will do so again, that there should be a pre-determined standard for when the black jerseys are worn - like home night games - that's put in place before anyone knows which opponents will be on the docket for them. That way people can't assign blame to then for losses any more than the could the red or white jerseys.

I'd be in favor of every night home game being a blackout in terms of fan apparel (I like the team in red). The crowd seems a lot more cohesive intimidating at night in all black IMHO

All the pundits and coaches coming out against players profiting from their own name seem to come from middle to upper class white households. The privilege is real y'all

The land of fruits and nuts are at it again. So their Senate has passed a bill to pay football and basketball athletes. They are paid now, room, and board, health care, training facilities, and no student loan debt, such as my granddaughter may have after graduating from the University of Georgia/ Should the band members be paid, should the cheerleaders? How about the student trainers> Don't they all have to work for their school by practicing their craft for their Universities?

@tommielee I don’t think you fully understand the bill. They are suggesting athletes be able to profit from their name, not be payed just for being an athlete. This would mean money from endorsements, apparel with their name on it, etc. To site your own examples: If a band member sits in on a recording session with a pop artist they will be paid for the session or receive royalties on the song, if a cheerleader wants to autograph posters and someone is willing to pay for them there is nothing stopping her, if a student trainer gets an endorsement from band-aid to be in a commercial they can take that money. Nothing stops the majority of students from making a name for themselves and then making money from that name, and that's how it should be. But the NCAA stops student athletes from doing this by threatening their eligibility. It’s anti-capitalist and unjust.

As far as players getting paid for their "likeness"? Who is going to trademark their likeness for them since each individual player will be their own entity? Who is going to take care of the legal requirements involved in incorporating or setting up some form of taxable entity? Who is going to manufacture the products and pay for the upfront costs involved in producing and getting their product to market? Who is going to market their "likeness" for them to create the profit potential? Who is going to collect their revenues and pay the taxes? Certainly, not the schools! Players getting paid for their likeness is totally independent of the requirement of the schools to provide an educational opportunity to the student in exchange for the student's athletic ability.

In another vein, since most boosters who pay the big bucks are independent business people, what is going to keep a booster from agreeing to pay, say, $5000 per month to a potential top shelf recruit for the use of his "likeness", whatever that entails, in his business if the student signs with the booster's school?

If there is anything dumber than a politician, it's a California politician! To the most simple of minds, it is a wonderful thing that players will get paid. To those who are capable of constructive thought, there is so much more involved for the "student athlete" than simply getting paid. There is not going to be enough time in the day for them to run their business, train, practice, and study enough to maintain their eligibility for their "likeness" to be profitable before they have flunked out of school and moved back home to become wards of their parents or the government.

@ShoottheHooch You make an interesting point about boosters abusing the thing, and there will have to be something that prevents that. Pay a kid 5 grand a month to keep his picture up on your office wall? Yeah, could be a problem.

On the other side of the argument, I'd sure like to see EA Sports put out another edition of NCAA football, and pay all the kids that they use in it. As for your question about who is going to collect their revenues and pay their taxes, that's what you pay accountants and agents and bookkeepers and business managers for. There are some pretty big bucks at stake here, and people will be lining up to make sure that some of it goes into their pockets. Pros don't have any problem not paying attention to their financial affairs (except when they do), and the same should go for college players.

A bigger concern for me is the potential disparity between what players make on a team. It could be a much bigger deal at this level than it is in the pros; everyone in the pros is well paid as compared to most of the rest of us. But a kid coming from a dirt poor family, who isn't good enough for anyone to want to pay for his likeness, is going to be playing on the same team as some fancy quarterback bringing in millions in endorsements, while his family is wondering how to heat the house during the winter.

I hear you. In this world of ours (which, by the way, I believe is only as real as we believe it to be), wealth — even middle-class-level wealth — can make you very out of touch with others' poverty in a way that you will never be if you come from poverty yourself. But it doesn't have to do. Notre Dame's AD, Jack Swarbrick, has repeatedly said that he's in favor of players profiting from their likeness. So am I, and I come from just the sort of household you describe. I'm sure there are plenty of others, too.
