Message: [QUOTE="Bortukal, post: 18245, member: 1189"] These are all excellent thoughts. However, it seems to me that Notre Dame's destiny isn't going to be determined by conference realignment, traditional rivalries, faculty/alumni steering, etc., it will be determined by one thing: TV. Isn't their contract with NBC, along with their BCS status, the real reason they have remained independent? I would hope that no self-respecting league would accept them for all sports sans football like the BE did. So isn't it very reasonable to think that ND becomes the flagship of the remaining Big East basketball/olympic sport conference and continues as an independent in football? [/QUOTE]
