My guy Matt Barrie spitting pure facts right now

@MattBarrie Laziest take in America right now belongs to “join a conference.” Independent ND was in the national championship game last year. Miami didn’t play in the ACC championship game, BYU (after a decade of independence) was punished for playing in theirs.

@MattBarrie lol @MattBarrie mad ND is not giving his job the views and money

@MattBarrie Why do they keep saying join a conference? Duke won ACC, yet Miami is in the CFP. 5/12 teams didn’t play for a conference championship and are in.

@MattBarrie “Join a conference.” Translation: We wish [insert P4 school name] had the kind of brand recognition, juice, and guts to be independent and do precisely what ND does, but it doesn’t, so it’s not fair, wahhhh….”

@MattBarrie Awwww is somebody mad they aren’t going to get revenue $$ and ratings from ND in a bowl game? ESPN clown show

@MattBarrie Didn't you just spend the last month dragging Notre Dame through the mud for this exact outcome? You ain't getting free ratings. Pound sand, ESPN

@MattBarrie Yeah they can

@MattBarrie Just nothing but dick sucking and doing nothing but PR for ESPN. He can cry about it but his network talked shit about ND for weeks and now he expects ND to play for a bowl game on their network. ESPN is the one killing this sport ND just has the balls to call them out for it.

@MattBarrie If ND joined the Sun Belt conference would that make you happy. The winner of the Sun Belt conference is in but ND is out. Miami lost to two unranked conference opponents and missed out on their title game and still made it. Alabama was blown out and stayed at 9. SMH

@MattBarrie

@MattBarrie The company that Matt works for is responsible for rendering anything outside of the playoffs meaningless. ND has every right to opt out of postseason bowls. Matt needs to stop the hyperbole.

@MattBarrie News org that makes most money on the backs of the team is big mad the team that makes some of them the most isn’t doing it.

@MattBarrie ESPN campaigns their ass off to eliminate ND from the playoffs to protect Bama, ending the college career of Love, the best player in the sport, and then has the gall to demand ND play an exhibition game for their network. Classless retards.

@MattBarrie Why play in a bowl game that doesn’t mean a thing anymore? Players opt out all the time in these games if it doesn’t mean anything. Simple solution: Get rid of the bowl games and make it a 24 team playoff.

@MattBarrie Someone needs to tell @MattBarrie that Duke won its conference - didn’t get in. BYU lost TWO GAMES to a top 4 team including in its conf champ game - didn’t get in. So tell me again why conferences matter? Clown take from another clown on a clown network. 🤡

@MattBarrie Ain’t making $$$$$ off of ND! That’s why espn crying!! 🤣🤣🤣

@MattBarrie @MattBarrie sounds like a baby back bitch

@MattBarrie So Auburn, k state, iowa state and others? The team voted to not play due to injuries and NFL opt outs. ESPN is mad they are losing money after the spent weeks campaigning against ND

@MattBarrie ND left out: “No conference championship, no playoff.” Bama destroyed in SECCG: “Teams shouldn’t be punished for losing an extra game.” 🤡

@MattBarrie Oh the ESPN guy pushing the ESPN narrative, shocking

@MattBarrie 7 teams didn’t win their conference championship. 5 teams didn’t play in one.

@MattBarrie No TF he’s not. Cause if the no conference debate was a real thing, it was quiet asf when Notre Same made the natty last year. Now ESPN brings it up when it’s convenient cause Notre Dame doesn’t wanna give ratings to a network that took them out the playoff race for a 3 loss Bama

@MattBarrie Its not “hi can we join ur conference” 😂 more like “Notre Dame please come join our conference”

@MattBarrie ND decides not to play in meaningless game "whiners" ESPN whines about ND not playing in meaningless game on their network "spitting facts"

@MattBarrie Well they just did, so clearly that clown Matt Barrie is wrong

@MattBarrie And that’s why ND isn’t playing. ESPN and boot lickers like this cuck. You wanna screw them over? Cool. Not making you more money.

@MattBarrie i’m still trying to figure out why all this talk about a conference is at the center of this conversation. BYU didn’t get any love for being in a conference. Did they is Miami being in a conference the reason they’re in the playoff no because they win their conference

@MattBarrie 😢 we can't profit off of the team we torpedoed. And the 2 panelists on the right were 💯 correct, moving BYU down allowed them to put ND and u together. Not moving precious down also allowed it. This was heinous disgusting pitiful.

@MattBarrie "pout when you don't get in because you don't have a conference championship" - like the one Miami played in, or the one Alabama got embarrassed in? This is a pathetic take and excuse making for a committee that proved to be a sham that milked ND for ratings.

@MattBarrie Conferences have turned into a joke. Notre Dame should never join a conference. And to hold it against them when there is no rule that you need to be in a conference is disingenuous and pathetic.

@MattBarrie Lol... The pay cut little buddy @MattBarrie is going to have to take next year because Notre Dame just burned down all of the meaningless Bowl Games ESPN runs all December.

@MattBarrie Where was Miamis conference championship? Did they play in the acc championship game? And your wrong they can cause there notre dame. Miami and espn lobbied for 2 weeks for this they got what they wanted. Can’t wait for acc to get served papers notre dame option out of deal.

@MattBarrie haha @espn is beyond butt hurt that @NDFootball pulled out the bowl game, cause now they lose a ton of money, possibly million on that one bowl game as no one will watch it now lol, screw us over and we shall return the favor .. Btw #2 recruiting class all 27 signed for ND

@MattBarrie So what do say to Duke Conference champ(over Miami) I’ve never seen a team beat an ACC team by 29pts and drop behind a team that snuck out a win over 1-7 SEC team. Then lose by 21 and stay put? It’s rigged and I won’t watch 1 minute of college football playoffs
