Message: [QUOTE="TerryD, post: 5281141, member: 3399"] That is because USC had always refused to play its game in South Bend any later than October. They were scared of the weather. ND always ended the season in California for recruiting purposes. The coaches just stayed out on the West Coast and recruited after the last game of the season. Now, with NIL and transfer portal, the talk around ND is that finishing in California for recruiting may not be as important to ND as it used to be. We shall see. Pete Bevacqua has stated his desire for ND to continue to play Stanford annually. The "problem" for ND is that it doesn't want to play a sixth game per year versus ACC teams. It doesn't want to go past an average of five games per year. [/QUOTE]
