<p>NBC, as I understand it will no longer be under GE's control. This could be very bad news for the Irish. Comcast is going to want a strong college football brand and a link up with a conference with several good teams now begins to look more attractive compared to a Notre Dame brand that is now 15 years removed from any national achievement. Swarbrick had better bring in a really big name that can change things or the Irish may find themselves on MSNBC or, worse yet, bought out. </p>

<p>At GE, the Jeff Immelts and Kevin Sharers were dependable friends of the program. Will the Comcast people be so friendly?</p>

<p>The NBC Contract is the cornerstone of the program. If Urban Meyer requires a statue to be placed in front of ND Stadium by the first home game next year, then it must be done!</p>

<p>The cable provider in the dorms better be Comcast…that’s all I’m saying.</p>

<p>If we need little blue NBC logos on the jerseys, and the words Comcast over all the thigh pads, it must be done.</p>
