College football is starting to feel a bit like the WWE, where one rival wrestler calls out another before the big match. In this instance, the big match is the College Football Playoff, and Notre Dame Fighting Irish athletic director Pete Bevacqua is playing the heel.
He’s been complaining about Notre Dame missing the CFP to anybody who would listen. He’s spoken about the Fighting Irish ultimately losing out to the Miami Hurricanes in the field of 12, using words like “shocked” and phrases like “sense of sadness.” He said that the ACC supposedly pushing for Miami to make the playoff caused “permanent damage” to the relationship between Notre Dame and the conference.
Big 12 commissioner calls out Notre Dame Fighting Irish
Bevacqua has drawn plenty of criticism from college football talking heads, but now someone in his social circle is calling him out as well.
That would be Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark.
“I think his behavior has been egregious,” Yormark said at the Intercollegiate Athletics Forum. “He is totally out of bounds in his approach and if he was in the room, I’d tell him the same thing. You have to accept it. We all sign up for it.”
