Message: [QUOTE="TerryD, post: 2272803, member: 1615"] ND's administration does not want to win, not big or consistently. They are content to cash in as long as they can, sure, but if you think that playoff contention and competitive disadvantage will drive ND headlong into football conference membership, you are mistaken. Here again are Jack Swarbrick's recent comments on the subject: Indy Star interview with Jack Swarbrick (7/14/17): Q: Switching gears, what would it take for Notre Dame to join the ACC full time in football? A: You can always weigh some circumstance that would do it, [B]but we don’t think that way and we are very comfortable with and focused on our independence because of the things it does for the university, not for us[/B]. If we didn’t have a broadcast partner, that would be one thing. But we have a great relationship with NBC and look forward to that continuing. [B]I don’t foresee any change in philosophy which would ever cause us to do it.[/B] [/QUOTE]
