Message: [QUOTE="Townie72, post: 312991, member: 780"] No reason for ND to join the B1G? It's absolutely amazing how posters rattle this stuff off like it was a fact. Let's see if I can pull a few reasons off the top of my head. 1. Reduced Travel time and expense - Notre Dame is located in freaking Northern Indiana, right in the heart of the B1G's geography. 2. Connection to their largest fan base - The largest contingent of ND fans on earth is in Chicago and environs. Chicago is in the Midwest. 3. Traditional Rivalries - Some of ND's traditional foes are in the B1G. 4. Proven Interest - ND already went all the way through the B1G invitation process once only to change their minds in the last minute. This ACC conjecture is based on the fact that the ACC also has schools that are private and schools that are of the same size. Pretty thin gruel, I'd say. Think ND vs. Michigan. [/QUOTE]
