Message: [QUOTE="kingottoiii, post: 44594"] Again apples and oranges. Why would ND want to join the BE for FB? ND was always going to wait until they HAD to join a conference. If the BE still had Miami, BC, and VT then maybe in 10 years they would have had a shot. But once those schools left you would have to be crazy to think that ND would join WV, Louisville, Cincy, USF, UConn, and RU. They have NOTHING in common with ND and are not programs that ND would want to be associated with. ND has a lot in common with the ACC. The ACC has nothing to lose by taking ND for all but FB. They don't need ND. The BE on the other hand NEEDED ND. That gave ND leverage. Not to mention ND controlled had a lot of influence over the Catholic schools. In the ACC ND will have little influence and the ACC can cut ties if need be. The BE couldn't do that. [/QUOTE]
