ND would be a loser pickup? KU would be OK from a basketball perspective. The other 2? yeah, less than decent.

Oops didn't mean Notre Dame, Basketball doesn't really make much of a financial splash

I hear you. My sources are telling me that Carnegie Melon and Tufts are next on the list if we can't lure Tulane and Rice. You'd think Tulane and Rice would be locks since the B1G offered, but actually the SEC is courting them also and right now I'm hearing they could go either way.

**** what a dream if we could get Tufts.

I don't know right off hand, we joined around 1906 I think, which was probably pretty cheap back then

We were kicked out in 2012 or 2013 I believe.

The "update" is ********. Besides football, Notre Dame is an ACC member. Notre Dame has exclusivity with the ACC and the football schedule is locked in until 2037.

How many of you know that 16 schools play athletics in the Big 10?

notre dame is a member for hockey
John Hopkins is a member for lacrosse.

Any school that joins the BIG needs to reside in a state that shares a common boundary with a state of an existing school.

that's why I mentioned okie state gettin with the aau program.
I heard texas and oklahoma talked to the big. but did not hear the reason it fell thru.
maybe it was not common borders and not wanting ku or maybe 0u not being aau.
but if they did talk to the big, thats alot of money sitting on the table to not think about.

Also, the University of Chicago...I have read that if they ever choose to bring back a Division 1 athletic department they would be welcomed back....but don't know if that is actually true.

But no one gives a **** about those sports

Notre Dame applied for admission to the Big Ten on two occassions in the early 20th century (also once when it was the Western Conference IIRC) and Michigan led the charge to blackball them each time. After the third rejection, Notre Dame publically said they thought their application was faught against by some members of the conference on religious grounds. ND then decded to prioritize their commitment to football, hired Rockne, and the rest is history.

They've been crying ever since.

Does Michigan have to apologize for blackballing them from the conference or because ND accused Michigan of religious bigotry?

Michigan has blackballed other institutions (MSU) for which it did not need to apologize.

Why then for ND?

Screw the Domers, bunch of whiny *****.

Go Blue!

You are absolutely clueless.

Sad but true. I mean, even VB (I know Husker fans are super into it) is another sport that no one cares about.

Football and basketball, that is it.

Pinnacle bank would sell out if Nebraska ever added hockey.

not so much basketball...even though Im not a big title x guy...I would say lexi sun earns her keep

I remember saying when the built pinnacle they should go ahead and make it ice rink ready...
and I think dr. tom did that, but it was more for ice capades, or whatever they call that.
I was told that because a basketball arena and hockey area are laid out different for the eyeview

I would say both to be safe, that way nd can join and get that big 10 network payout growing proper like.
we all need to work together on this to combat disney/espn/sec/texas/okie aggressions
think big picture.

Fair enough. Troll on sir.
