Message: [QUOTE="SU94, post: 5466175, member: 202"] Thanks heavens. Although if ND is part of the oft-envisioned B1G-SEC Super League, you could argue that they’re part of a conglomerate of 32-36 schools. You could conceivably call that a conference could you not? Does that make you feel dirty? I respected Notre Dame’s independence for a long, long time. That has now expired, as it is purely a vanity item. I also don’t believe that younger ND alums are as invested in it as you older grouping. So I believe it will die ultimately. But the lag in that caliber of decision will actually hinder/harm ND and take it even further away from its desired intercollegiate sports objectives. I believe you’re already beginning to see the effects. The USC series is on some level of shaky ground and Navy might not be playing on the same level in the coming years. Or they could play two more ACC games and solidify things to some reasonable degree. [/QUOTE]
