They wouldn't make money if the P5 conference boycott ND altogether in every sport. That'd force their hand.

That would give them a ton of money from an antitrust lawsuit.

They could consider ND a non-P5 school just as they consider BYU unworthy.

Excluding them from a conference is one thing, but boycotting is another.

If the P5 outright boycotts BYU and UConn and the AAC, then we would have an antitrust lawsuit also.

Notre Dame plays football as an Independent....and they are a good add for anyone's schedule. They bring a football audience, a national stage, and a certain cachet.

Butt hurt doesn't play in, I don't think. P5 teams won't turn their back on a Notre Dame scheduling. With future games against Michigan, Stanford, Texas, Purdue, Michigan State, Georgia, etc...it is clear that the butt hurt card won't be played.

ND down from 10 to 18 in polls. Thank you Arizona State.

Michigan is not on ND's schedule, now or in the future.

Thank you Northwestern!

As part of Notre Dame's agreement with the P-5 conferences, ND has agreed to lose to 1 member of at least three of them each year. For 2014 we have now covered the ACC, the PAC-12, and now the Big Ten. I think we're done now.

UCONN is being boycotting. Specifically on the women's side, but passively in men's hoops too.
