Anyone believe this 97cats guy on their board really does know? I want to believe him, but it seems so unlikely that he knows anything.. He can't be any worse than Obert, I guess.

Free from Scout. In it he says it came down to academics. He then says that ND has the best academics. It seems like that takes the suspense out of it? Seems like everything pointing to ND.. Except for Taz and 97cats on TOS! Hope they are right.

Just in from Scout. Doesn't look good if it's about academics.

BTW all sources are split right now. Some are sure it is Notre Dame, others are convinced it is Arizona. No one believes the other two are really still in play.

Okay, does anyone actually know what field he wants to pursue? These things need to be compared head-to-head.
For Taz's cause of "the three amigos", he could look at the Eller College of Management.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eller_College_of_Management
The most recent U.S. News and World Report ranks Eller 25th in undergraduate business programs in the U.S. (including public and private institutions), the highest ranking college at the University of Arizona. According to U.S. News, Eller also boast Top 5 Management Information Systems and ranked #1 Entrepreneurship programs nationally. The MIS program has been ranked in the Top 5 by U.S. News since the inception of the rankings, one of only three programs in the U.S. with such a distinction. Eller's programs in Supply Chain Logistics and Accounting ranked top 20 and Marketing ranked in the nation's Top 25 by U.S. News as of 2008. The Department of Management and Organizations also ranked in the nation's top 25 by U.S. News as of 2010.

One thing I love about my new school is the motto.. It is going to work just as well in a little bit, whichever way this goes for us.

Rumors on Twitter are indicating that Neal selected Arizona. We will need to wait for confirmation.

Ultimately this is flat-out inconsiderate by the Neal family, totally because you involved an elementary school and a crap-ton of little kids.
They had weeks to figure this out, and even if you're still trying to figure it out in a back room somewhere, you had to know that you were undecided as of last night or early this morning. Letting the school hang out to dry like this is inexcusable.
I am officially on the wineknow bandwagon. This is completely ridiculous. I will never again watch one of these stupid feeds and support this nonsense. I feel terrible for this elementary school.

Is anybody watching this on Fox? Neal Family = Douchebags. After what they've done to that school and those kids I actually want him to go somewhere else and fail miserably. I can never be a fan of his...

I knew this wouldn't end well with the way his pops was always overbearing. Like I said before, I'm tired of all this drama I'm ready to see the players AZ has now take the field.

Well, in the end, I assume this was good news for us. Seems like he was set to follow what dad wanted, and in the end couldn't pull the trigger. I think UA gets him now. Thoughts? I mean, besides the fact that that was surreal.

Luke Neal is a modern day Craig James to the extreme. Could you imagine having to deal with this daddy as a coach?

Ricky, I was thinking the same thing. Whether daddy is looking for a big dowry or is trying to live his life vicariously through his son, he will definitely be baggage. The sad thing is that the young man might be a decent kid. We may never know.
