Nobel Memorial Prize, not Nobel Prize. This has nothing to do with Alfred Nobel or the actual Nobel Prizes that go to people who do work in real fields, not made up ones.

Are you sure you are not Elwood Vanderslice, the second commenter in the Wall Street Journal article, which also made the “mistake” of referring to it as the Nobel Prize in Economics rather than the The Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel.
I wouldnt say it has “nothing” to do with Alfred Nobel; its right in the name. The prize is given in his memory.

From the Nobel Academy's website:
"When the inventor, entrepreneur and businessman Alfred Nobel died, his will stated that his fortune was to be used to reward “those who, during the preceding year, shall have conferred the greatest benefit to humankind.” Nobel’s prize would reward outstanding efforts in the fields that he was most involved in during his lifetime: physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature and peace.
After his death, a long process began to realise his vision and the first Nobel Prizes were awarded in 1901. In 1969, a new prize was established – the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel. Its addition was an exception, to celebrate the tercentenary of Sweden’s central bank."
Winners of the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel are also included in the Academy's list of Nobel Laureates.
Fun fact - Bill Sharpe, emeritus professor in the GSB and one of the co-recipients of the Economics prize in 1990 is a former MBB season ticket holder. His seats were right in front of ours, just a couple rows behind the visitor's bench. He was a big fan and a super nice guy to boot. Jeez, Louise - did I ever luck out in terms of both seat location <and> neighbors.

it was inevitable a thread on the nobel prize plus semantics on the award title would have more engagement and fight than the football team

Norcard10,
I think you might have identified one of the root causes of our current malaise in Football, although this is more a barometer of an unfortunate segment of our Administration, Students, Alums, and FanBase, ...rather than the team that does play passionately & hard !
