Respectfully, you have no point.  FSU will play UF more, Clemson will play USC, GATech will play UGA and Louisville will play Kentucky way more than anyone will play ND.

Add to that, Pitt gave up playing ND 8 of 10 years and BC gave up playing ND regularly, too.  Life changes, we have to adapt.  Playing ND every 3 years is part of the deal, most schools would die to have that problem.

There are many ways to fix problems, not just salvaging the old Big East football conference.  Besides, I like more of the ACC schools than I do the old Big East schools that we don't play anymore.  REgardless, we will not get PEdState and WVU back, and those two, along with Pitt are our longest histories.  Too often people forget that Rutgers and SU played each other about 20 times prior to the Big East conference.  Even the BC game was not as popular (played as often) as people want to imagine (though the annual games in the BE did raise some interest).

We are where we are at for now.  If you want the old northeast schools together, start a bandwagon to place all football schools under one contract and then work towards realingment.  Regardless, stop lamenting ND not joining the BE in football.  Not only has that ship sailed, it wasn't a ship, just row boat fantasized by several schools that dreamed of hitting it big after having no history (UConn, UCF, USF, Rutgers).  Time to move on.
