It's a stupid argument, really, which makes it par for the course for Reilly. The Irish have been average post-Holtz, but average doesn't get you relegated in any soccer league. Awful does. So the entire premise is dumb.
Otherwise, it's just the old free market. I wish there'd stop being so much attention on them, but evidently N(D)BC is satisfied with their ratings, and the rush of ESPN to put them on whenever NBC corroborates that decision. And you can find plenty of people dissing the Irish these days; it's not exactly hard.
