Heavy penalty.
Sure, but it's only money and the B1G is swimming in the stuff.

I wish they could have canceled that one and kept Pitt. This ND/Lambeau thing is a return for UW/ND in Soldier Field.

Barry was forever obsessed with wanting to play ND and finally got it. The dumbass.
I know a ton of B1G fans hate Notre Dame, but they are a traditional CFB power, with a great, traveling fan base, that will get a lot of eyeballs on the game in the stands and on TV, coast to coast. From the AD's perspective, what's not to like about that? More likely to beat Pitt? Sure, but also get a lot less advantages from playing that game, even if the Badgers win, which is far from a good bet right now. And it's not like Wisconsin is threatening for a spot in the CFB playoff, which, if they had just beaten Pitt instead of losing to ND, they would have been a lock for. It will never work that way for Wisconsin. Irish fans will travel to Lambeau, drop a bunch of money in the state of Wisconsin, and get a bunch of exposure for the program. That's a good game to schedule.

I just don't like the Lambeau thing.  

I didn't like our (not)home-and-(not)home in 2014 and 2016.  If we're gonna travel all the way up there and get our ass kicked and coach fired, at least let us do it in a rowdy, fun, storied college football place.  So instead it happened in the Packers' house.  Yay.  

And y'all missed the best place in the world to play a night game with the best tailgates you'd have been invited to, before that.  For what?  The Texans sterile-ass stadium?  Ugh.

Insufferable arrogance. Everyone needs to quit scheduling these asshats.

I don’t hate them.   I like whipping their butts though.
