Uh, for the time being, at least, Notre Dame's gonna have to wait another year, Bill. And of course, they made the announcement on Sunday that they're not even gonna play in a bowl game, which makes me sad. Maybe not so much for Notre Dame, but Bill, really for, uh, for all of us to, to kind of see the writing on the wall here, Bill, we're probably, what would you say, a year or two away from no bowl season at all or, or very limited like we used to have 20 years ago where there were 1015 bowl games. I think we're headed in that direction. I think so too. Um, you know, it's one of those deals where it's too bad they're not playing. It, it does deprive us, well, the Pop-Tarts Bowl takes a hit there because the Pop-Tarts Bowl is actually one of the more marketable non-playoff bowls, and they could have had BYU. By the way, BYU, we're not, like, clamoring for them, are we? Uh, they are the only team, the last two years to win 10 or more games in the regular season and be left out. There, there's other teams that have won 10 in one season, but BYU has done it each of the last two seasons. So, nobody's shedding a tear for the Cougars in this environment. And that's something you said earlier is really hitting with me in the moment that the committee probably doesn't mind this. When we used to do the pool era, we argued all January. In the BCSR era, what did we do? Argue, and we're doing the exact same darn thing right now.
