Hall of Famer and ESPN basketball analyst Charles Barkley has an opinion on most everything, and that includes the College Football Playoff committee's decision

Could Notre Dame football's future schedules be trashed because of its undisclosed College Football Playoff (CFP) agreement?

Now, we are seeing some of the roster fallout that is expected at the end of the season. Notably, backup quarterback Kenny Minchey has announced that he will enter the transfer portal when it opens at the start of the new year.

That could make the portal an intriguing option at the position for Notre Dame.

While Foley will be labeled as a “small school star”, his game is anything but small.
