Since ND fans seem to not want to own up *why* they value independence and use phrases like "it's our identity" and make it seem like it's beneath them, I'll say it:

The reason they value Independence is they see themselves above all other programs and feel they have earned the right to steer their own ship. The power is in the fanbases belief in this dynamic. So many think it's true, that it's become an "identity" and not about money. That's the thing that drives so many non-ND fans nuts. A combo of arrogance and naivety about why the leadership actually wants to remain independent hides that it is in fact, about money and power. The leadership likes their seat at the table and the fans like to think they are better than everyone else.

lol. No. We want to join together to make the conference better and make college football better. And maybe even save it from itself in the process.

But it takes programs looking out for each other.
