* Thursday was "We In/We Out" day on the show. There were a couple questions we didn’t get to because of time, including this one from Tommy: Which decision has Marcus Freeman made that you were the most “We in” for and which one of his decisions has had you the most “We out” on?
* Here’s another one from peruvian Irish: Clemson, Florida State and North Carolina are still in the ACC this time next year (June 6, 2025), which results in the ACC still being a functioning football league and ND still having the special arrangement with the ACC. At least in the short term. WE IN OR OUT on that?
* We also discuss how TV markets impact the decisions of schools shuffling conferences. 
* Fill-in the blank...It’s BLANK that the College Football Playoff quarterfinals will be played on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day. The Gator Bowl will be played on Jan. 2nd, the Serve Pro First Responder’s Bowl and Duke’s Mayo Bowl on Jan. 3rd and the Bahamas Bowl and the Holiday Bowl after that.
* Notre Dame baseball coach Shawn Stiffler has made a change in his coaching staff after a disappointing second season. Hitting coach Logan Robbins will not be back. We share thoughts on that move. 
* Charles Barkley says Tom Brady gave him a watch a while back and he’s been offered $250,000 to sell it, but Barkley says there is no amount of money he would sell the watch for. Do you have anything you would not sell for any price?
* Thoughts on Jerry McGuire, Major League, Bull Durham, and For Love of the Game.

It's been an eventful week and Irish Breakdown starts today's show with some of the happenings for Notre Dame football. Then we discuss the news that Irish football alum Peter Schivarelli is endowing the defensive line coach position. That makes eight football staff positions that are now endowed. How significant is that for the Irish football program?
