Notre Dame Athletic Director Says They’ll Match NFL Money To Keep Marcus Freeman

Reese, Kmac, Pam and Alex discuss whether Notre Dame’s big-money message is smart strategy or a sign of insecurity and what it means if the Giants really come calling. Notre Dame Athletic Director Pete Bevacqua has warned NFL teams, particularly the New York Giants, that they'll need to pay big money to lure Fighting Irish head football coach Marcus Freeman away, even suggesting Notre Dame would try to match offers after Freeman's successful season and amidst recent CFP frustrations. This comes as Freeman is a top coaching candidate, with rumors swirling about Giants interest following Notre Dame's snub from the playoff and subsequent bowl-declination, with Bevacqua emphasizing the program's commitment to keeping Freeman. What does the Sports Shop crew think? Is this bad for Notre Dame?
