Cohenzone:  You've got a few discourses going on concurrently about Notre Dame and I just want to understand a comment or two here or there. Thanks for your explanation and/or indulgence.

- "[COLOR=#0080ff]Believe me, no other ND sport has meaningful value without football. which is not a put down of those programs, it's a fact." [/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]By "meaningful value without football," do you mean they wouldn't be: 1) in existence without football; 2) playing in a top-flight conference with out the prominence/money-making ability of the football program; 3) just don't matter.

- [/COLOR][COLOR=#ff8000]That ACC raid was the first domino.[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000] Is the underlying premise of these comments to say that football is the 1000-lb. guerilla in the NCAA D1 world and that the desertions in the Big East led to UConn hoops not being able to play in what could've been a more prominent conference?

Once again, sorry for the questions but my head is still suffering from whiplash from watching Durr's and Hines-Allen shots whish though the net, again and again.  :eek: Head bang
Withe some clarification, maybe I can address them. ;)
