Umm no. He actually has stated the exact opposite of that. He has said numerous times that it was a good experience but ND will return to independence. No quote anywhere you can find will say he desires full membership.

35 Million is attractive during Covid . ND has plenty of money, but they will be hurt by lack of fans and donations during an economic downturn. Right now they have a perfect excuse for a money grab and not many ND fan's would question the reasoning. You would have some vocal alums that would...

So yeah, same as what has been said for 25 years (since Big 10 invite was rejected).

Nope. But I do not understand what that has to do with the topic at hand.

We ain't going anywhere. We're happy with our choice. If we join in full it will be the ACC and everything else is fantasy.

If we join it will be the ACC without a doubt. ND love's the make-up of ACC schools, with the mix of private and public and smaller schools. The Big Ten is nothing but huge state schools (minus Northwestern) and besides geography we do not share a lot with the Big 10.

A federal judge ruled Friday night that the NCAA cannot “limit compensation or benefits related to education” for athletes playing Division I men’s or women’s basketball or Bowl Subdivision football. Among the items U.S. District Judge Claudia Wilken said these athletes may receive are...

Louisville is a disgrace. They should get Temple-ed .

Good for Liberty. Maybe after a few years up we can schedule them and have a real holy war.

Which is not new information.

No he is way off; we would have to invest heavily to even get in consideration.. That has, and likely won't ever be our mission. Our metric's would not even registrar; we do not do the amount of research that is needed.

Biggest surprise that is a alumnus heavy board. Most in that thread are graduates I believe. Really I don't care, we stink and I see through the facade of the independence then now. When a conference is dictating almost have your schedule it is hard to believe you are independent. I do not hate...

Oh my; it lives.

To be honest , as a poster on Rock House it surprises me who is advocating for the Big 10; and with vigor. I missed that thread some how.

Lol, bluevod is back....

No we won't, but we aren't independent truly anymore either. So we are gonna stay half pregnant and milk the golden calf for all it is worth.

To be fair Terry it is 8 games that are locks on our schedule. USC,Stanford and Navy are never going away. So it is four games we have flexibilty with BYU is independent, we're half pregnant.

BTM ? LOL.. Oh Flug. He has been right before but I have a tough time with the BTM part.

My guess is ND 10 billion dollar endowment will be divided up. That is the only way 15mil extra a year will happen.

Kelly is baaaaaaadddddd, not just coach but I don't like him as a person. He treats players like poop

Thank you for that. Finished Weis off. Problem is at least Weis loved ND, BK is just kinda of a jerk.

That is the Dude of WVU type statement. Like when he stated that the Big was looking at Buffalo. :rolleyes:

Most ND fans are new to realignment. I kid EROCK

Only place I have seen it is a alumni board click here But to be fair we as ND fans have pretty much ignore this in general. We just float along usually and ignore the chatter(unless your Terry and myself).

Brian Kelly really would want to join I assume, but Brian needs to worry about getting fired not independence. He isn't a deciding factor here. Independence absolutely hurts us more than helps I believe on the field. Off the field the university loves the marketing angle.

I will give Brando some credit on the Gen X and millennial thing. They're's not as militant about independence, but Brando misses where the money flow from, that would be the boomers .

Option 1-Because we're super duper nice and want to be a good conference mate. Option 2- Brando doesn't know squat of the inner workings of ND and needed to talk about something in the offseason.

Which isn't likely, we signed to 2036 and will only join if access to playoff is gone. Which access has to be maintained for a second p5 or token access do g5.

People in ND A.D.? Really? I know actual large donors and they no nothing about what ND plans are.

Yep, that is the stance among most people. Actually at least 90% I would say, minus the shut down the program (tiny) minority. We want to stay independent but not at all cost. But the good thing is that we are in a good position now and that is likely not to change in the short-term

Good luck with that, short of a Papal bull (decree) it ain't happening .

Yes, this year we stink, last year we were underrated. But this is historically bad, UNC is dang lucky they beat Arky.

Head bang

Leave a superior conference to go be with dysfunctional Texas. .. Just stupid

Just need OU to do the right thing :)
