Message: [QUOTE="jostar1, post: 1401029, member: 1737"] Dodd is talking about Notre Dame. He recently wrote an article about it: [SIZE=6][B]Notre Dame has lost independent luster, should join conference soon[/B][/SIZE] [SIZE=4]It's entirely possible that Boise State gets a guaranteed spot at 10-2. With the same record, Notre Dame could be left wishing. That scenario alone is why the Irish will finally join a conference sooner rather than later. Don't ask me how that lucrative NBC contract would be folded in. That's fine print. If Notre Dame made the all-in call to ACC commissioner John Swofford tomorrow, the details would be worked out pronto. As it stands, being half pregnant in the ACC isn't enough. Being left out is too much. This column would not have been written unless that tipping point was imminent.
