Notre Dame's Bowl Snub: Reasons & Consequences
•
Notre Dames unexpected decision to skip a bowl game, along with Kansas State and Iowa State, has left many questioning the reasons behind their choices.

Hogan, CEO of Florida Citrus Sports, believes that Notre Dame players might regret missing the chance to play in a high-profile bowl game. This situation mirrors the 2023 season when undefeated Florida State was left out of the playoff, raising concerns about a potential trend of top teams declining bowl games.
