Notre Dame-VERY VERY Lite

Besides, why on earth would Diaco need a Notre Dame connection? He's worked there 3 whole years. He's worked at Cincinnati, Virginia, Central Michigan... He's an Iowa grad. Those are all state public schools.

He might well take the BC job if it's offered to him, but you'd HAVE to imagine that at least on paper (and not counting other random factors that we can't predict right now like maybe Diaco loves Boston or his wife is from there or he feels some kind of Catholic connection or whatever), Cal is a much more attractive job than BC.

1) We can probably pay more
2) Brand spanking new $500M facility upgrade more or less completed, one of the nicest venues in college sports
3) Sitting on 3 straight top-25 recruiting classes, lots of talent on both sides of the ball, including a top QB recruit who just redshirted. So it shouldn't be too hard to start winning a few more games and look like a genius.
4) Fertile recruiting grounds in CA compared to the Northeast
5) Pac-12 is a better conference, lots of potential exposure with the P12N
