They probably won't give the #Heisman to a RB. But Notre Dame Football's Jeremiyah Love is definitely worthy. Another great game today: 171 yards on just 8 carries, with 3 touchdowns. #NotreDame #GoIrish! ☘️

I'm not knocking football, but there’s something wrong with their calendar. I'm at SJU and we are potentially a one seed and can win a National Championship this year, and I leave in March??? What’s going on here?

As a Notre Dame Alumni, am I upset that University of Notre Dame was left out of #CFBPlayoff? Yes. Do I think it is the result of "conference bias?" Yes. Do I think Notre Dame Football should join a conference? ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! Our independence & traditions mean too much. #NotreDame #GoIrish!

Nope. As a #NotreDame alum, I would rather miss the #CFBPlayoff every year than surrender to this Committee's bullying tactics. But we won't miss the Playoff every year. The #NotreDame brand is too important to the rest of college football. We will win this fight. #GoIrish☘️!

Exactly correct response from #NotreDame AD Bevacqua. Notre Dame Football had a great season, deserved to be in the #CFBPlayoff , and should NOT join a conference. Our independence and traditions mean more than any playoff. #GoIrish!

I am an #Alabama and #NotreDame fan. This tweet is true. It is an example of "conference bias" & the Committee's attempt to force ND to join a conference. Notre Dame Football should stand firm. No conference, ever. College football needs Notre Dame more than it needs this Playoff.

This is a wrong take. The decision to forego a bowl game is brilliant. Why should Notre Dame reward ESPN by playing in a bowl (and generating big revenue for ESPN) after the ESPN-led College Football Playoff just unfairly snubbed Notre Dame?

An ESPN employee complaining about this makes #NotreDame's point. #ESPN stands to benefit if ND plays in a bowl. Yet, ESPN and its College Football Playoff snubbed ND. I applaud this move by the Notre Dame Football team, which should be allowed to compete for the championship.

Amazing all the ESPN employees criticizing Notre Dame for this. Who stands to make huge money if Notre Dame plays in a bowl game? ESPN, which also lobbied hard the past few weeks for Notre Dame to miss the College Football Playoff. Pretty transparent.

I have never been more proud of Notre Dame Football than I am today. This is the correct decision, painful as it is. This is a great team, and deserved to get a shot at the championship. Accepting a bowl game, and earning $ for ESPN (which lobbied hard against ND) would be wrong.

I believe you (and I also agree with you). But I suspect that many of the people calling themselves "Heritage Americans" have no idea of their ancestry beyond their great-great grandparents, and are making things up.
