    Scheduling alliance

    "Any Big Ten or Pac-12 team already playing Notre Dame, which has its own scheduling deal with the ACC, would be able to count the Irish as its ACC opponent. Pac-12 members USC and Stanford have annual series with Notre Dame. Big Ten programs Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State and Purdue also...

    Notre Dame???

    The Big Ten (Michigan) refused ND's application to the then Western Conference (Big 10) in the 1920's. Anti-Catholic bias on the part of Michigan back then. That forced ND to be an independent and to barnstorm all over the country, playing anyone/everyone. Michigan then refused to play ND and...

    Report: ACC Expected To Play Conference-Only Football

    ND gets paid less money for television rights and conference payouts than any P5 school. Wake Forest makes about the same, most ACC schools make more. The Big Ten teams, even schools like Indiana and Purdue, make about $20 million a year more than ND in TV/conference money. ND is not...

    Report: ACC Expected To Play Conference-Only Football

    So, if I was correct, and did not say anything out of line or disrespectful, what was your ******** post about then?

    Report: ACC Expected To Play Conference-Only Football

    That is untrue. ND is part of the ACC minor bowl lineup. If ND makes an ACC bowl, that bowl's payout to ND goes into the ACC bowl pot to share. If ND made the Orange Bowl, they have a separate payout that it keeps. But, every other ACC bowl involved, ND shares the bowl money regarding the...

    So the disease continues...

    All eleven state legislatures of the Confederacy issued proclamations about whey they were seceding from the Union. All eleven said it was because of slavery in their official secession documents.

    ND at Louisville Discussion

    I gave you the cliff notes version several times. You didn't like it. I will reiterate: ND ain't interested. It doesn't think its football program will ever have to join a conference. Is that better? P.S. You never answered my question about the great benefits you think the ACC can offer...

    ND at Louisville Discussion

    I was a civil defense litigation attorney for 32 years. I know a bit about negotiations and "deal cutting". I understand that it takes having two sides interested in a deal to even try to discuss one. ND has no such interest. Just ask John Swofford: "At the ACC Kickoff program, ACC...

    ND at Louisville Discussion

    ND does not want a negotiation with any conference about football membership. The ACC understands this. Google the commissioner's many statements on ND independence. ND strongly wants to stay a football independent forever. That is a primary goal of ND. All of its moves since 1990 (NBC deal...

    ND at Louisville Discussion

    ND doesn't want to discard its brand and its identity as a football independent. No scheme from the ACC will change that. It isn't going to throw away 130 years of tradition and identity as a football independent because fans of other schools think it should. The only way that ND football...

    Scouting Notre Dame

    12-1 last year with a playoff berth and the only loss to the national champs was a big disappointment, you are right.... 22-4 the past two years and double digit wins in three of the last four years...all "early hype"...yep.

    Missing Wilkie

    I enjoyed interacting with Wilkie for years on the CSNbbs message boards. He was a great guy and a class act. RIP, buddy.

    ND at Louisville Discussion

    It sounds like the free market supports ND being a football independent since the market forces allow it to remain one. Also, you tout free markets and such but want to force ND to join a voluntary business organization called a conference.

    ND at Louisville Discussion

    Actually, ND only gets around $15 million a year from NBC. It is much less than ND could make in the Big Ten or even the ACC. It is no longer a "big money deal". But, it is enough to allow ND to remain a football independent, which is one of ND's primary goals (along with making the playoffs...
