I liked Lou's idea as well.  I'd rate the probability of it actually happening though to less than the chance of ND joining full in football.  And I don't like those chances very much.  Waiting on ND, or PSU, or Texas will just slow progress down.

BiG will be going to a 9-game schedule by 2016.  Pac and B12 are already there.  SEC will eventually get there as well.  ND sees the handwriting on the wall.  They actually have a very smart AD.   None of it seems to matter to the Irish.  It's like they are in a bubble where everything is still peaches and cream.  They have access to a 4 team playoff which most see becoming an 8-team playoff in the next decade.  They have the best possible home for their basketball and olympic sports.  Seems to me, they aren't budging unless someone casts a might powerful spell over them.

Texas has never wanted wanted what ND has wanted.  They want a conference that is Texas-centric with southwestern teams in it.  And those huge massive public BiG schools and the BTN have made it so I don't see the Nits ever jumping ship.

Got to be bold.  Scott almost pulled it off for the Pac.  I believe Swofford can do it for the ACC.

Cheers,
Neil
