Message: [QUOTE="Archer2, post: 54038, member: 1243"] ND would be welcomed to 3-4 leagues right now with full membership but I think any league would be crazy to allow them to remain independent in football. Allowing half the league's teams to be non-participants in the biggest revenue generating sport is what has been the downfall of the Big East. I think the ACC will wait a year or so to give ND a chance to reconsider their indy status, at which time they will offer UConn and RU(both of which appear very anxious to join) if ND won't give up their football independence. Both are very good academic schools(WVU's academic status is what caused their application to the ACC to be rejected). I think eventually ND is going to have to join a conference in football but their pride won't allow them to do so just yet. [/QUOTE]
