When there's not much to grasp at, straws work. That, and I didn't see the original date when I logged on this morning. Just retreading tires today.

Why? That goes against everything the Holy Cross Fathers want to get out of having a football program at all, which is national exposure/walking billboard for the university.

That's what every single football playing university in the country uses its football team for. You think ND can't get that playing in a conference? Certainly if they had joined the Big 10, they could play USC or Stanford every year, plus Navy and reach the entire country easily.

Back before football was televised nationally, the independence mattered. Now it's just ND's boat anchor. A tie to a past long gone and never to return.

The only trouble with what you typed is that the people who run, attend, graduated from and root for ND disagree with you.

On this issue, it is their perception that matters.
