Message: [QUOTE="TerryD, post: 1300685, member: 1615"] I am sorry that the idea of ND never being in the Big Ten saddens you. I mean that. But, ND joining the Big Ten would have been like Appomattox or the Fall of Bataan for me, personally. It would have been the worst of all possible realistic outcomes for ND in conference realignment, in my opinion. I would rather ND join the ACC, Big 12 or Pac 12 than the Big Ten, and I would absolutely hate the idea of ND football joining any of those conferences. UConn wants badly into the Big Ten and I hope it works out for them soon. UConn deserves to be in a P5 conference. I just never want ND to be part of any Big Ten discussions. I don't think that UConn needs ND involved in order for Delany to decide to invite it to the Big Ten. 2015 will be the first year since 1915 that ND football will not play any Big Ten teams. I like that development and hope it is the beginning of a trend. [/QUOTE]
