I touched NDNation for the second time in my life.  They are despairingly pragmatic about the situation.  Only a few are toeing the company line...and I still can't believe Brian Kelly's parting comments (my emphasis):

“Aaron recently approached me about his desire to leave Notre Dame and return to Florida,” Kelly said. “I’ve always known and appreciated the affinity Aaron has for his home in Florida. However, the stark reality is you can’t make it at Notre Dame if your head and heart are not here. I am proud of the effort Aaron made in the classroom and on the field at Notre Dame. I wish him all the best in the future.”
