If this report is true it appears Purdue & Notre Dame will not play the remaining 2 years left on their current contract 2027 & 2028).
TRENDING: According to the Irish Illustrated Insider Podcast, Notre Dame is making a big scheduling change for next year and trying to add a B1G team to the schedule for Labor Day weekend. Pete Sampson threw out the possibility of it being Notre Dame vs Oregon in Sofi Stadium on Week 2. To make this happen Notre Dame will be moving Kent State to Week 0 (Now Week 1) and Purdue could be disappearing from the schedule as well. If not Oregon who else could it be?

The Purdue for Life Foundation created and leads the Boiler Room: Purdue Football All-Access docuseries, with a third-party production team filming, editing, and producing each episode. In the latest episode, two seconds of footage were inadvertently altered during post-production. We occasionally use quality-enhancement plugins to sharpen details in low-resolution footage. The tool is primarily intended for lighting and color correction and uses AI technology, but we were unaware that its newer model could add generative elements. We should have caught the alteration during our quality-control process. The episode has been updated to restore the original footage at 7:18, and we apologize for the error and inconvenience. This software will not be used in any future footage releases.

And @NorthwesternU will slide significantly in rankings, other than in press releases, they will be #1 there. Give it a year or three max to catch up to a bad decision, and they will move on.. Once globally preeminent, US universities are sliding share.newsbreak.com/jxcxvo6g

I’m in agreement From Fox News. I wonder how loud it’ll get if Trump could pull this off. It will be interesting. President Trump is asking everyone to share this, in three days, most people in the United States will have seen the message. This is an idea that should be passed around, regardless of political party. The TRUMP Rules: 1. Tenure / No Pension. A Congressman/woman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they're out of office. And no more perks go with them. 2. Congress (past, present, & future) participates in Social Security. All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people. It may not be used for any other purpose. 3. Congress must purchase their own retirement plan, just as ALL Americans do. 4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise at the ok same rate as the COLA for monthly Social Security recipients minus 1% if having a budget balance deficit. 5. Congress loses their current care system and participates in the same health care system (Medicare) as the American people. 6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people (i.e. NO MORE INSIDER TRADING!!!). 7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen/women are void. The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen/women. Congress made all these contracts by and for themselves. Serving in Congress is an honor and privilege, NOT a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators should serve their term(s), then go home and go back to work … not get all kinds of freebies. Term limits of 2 terms and treat them like a regular citizen! You will need to copy and paste. I AGREE SO IM SHARING! Note: This should be done immediately!!! Thank you! Copy/Paste and SHARE
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Trump has not asked people to share this. The "in three days, most people in the United States will have this message" wording comes from a chain message that has circulated online since 2009. Trump's name was attached to it later. politifact.com/factchecks/201…

Paul Oreffice (ChE’49, HDR ChE’76) arrived at @LifeAtPurdue knowing fewer than 50 English words, but his entrepreneurial spirit spoke volumes. He became fluent in five languages, served in the Army, and led the Dow Chemical Company. Now, Mackey Arena’s east entrance will be named in his honor. Read Oreffice’s inspiring story at purdue.university/4g3rAd7.

No one embodies the spirit of #PurdueAg more than @JayAkridge. His leadership and dedication helped shape our college and university in lasting ways. We're grateful for his service and proud to build on the legacy of people like Jay who make a difference every day.
When #PurdueAg thinks of leaders who have made a lasting impact on @LifeAtPurdue, @JayAkridge stands tall. Akridge built a distinguished career at Purdue, first as an award-winning @PurdueAgEcon faculty member, then as director of @PurdueAgBiz, interim vice provost of engagement, dean, and provost and executive vice president for academic affairs and diversity. His career reflects his commitment and diverse strengths. But for Akridge, success isn’t measured by personal accomplishments. It comes from working with Purdue’s many supporters and, most of all, fellow Boilermakers. ag.purdue.edu/news/2026/10/i…

Actually the University started picking up the interest on the Athletic Debt about a year....maybe two ago. That amounts to approx $13m/year. Additional support by the BoT for athletics is being looked at now. They know they have to increase support if we are going to compete.
None, the university doesn’t fund athletics. It is a separate entity

Matt Painter’s philosophy on success “Get the right players that fit together, get them on the bus, get them on time, and tell them the truth” Regardless of if you like him or not, you HAVE to respect him and what he built at Purdue

I'd LOVE to know what the University spent on this......
A joint expedition to Nikumaroro Island determined that the underwater anomaly known as the Taraia Object is not conclusive evidence of Amelia Earhart’s aircraft. Get the latest update. 👇 purdue.university/4ioCpHH
