Message: [QUOTE="kyleslamb, post: 33560, member: 895"] On a related note... Notre Dame will be off to the Hockey East (at least for now). This means the Big Ten is not likely to happen, at least as of this time. Of course, who knows what will happen over the next few years. But of interest... it looks like Notre Dame will not be taking part in the H.E. television deals but rather having their own. One of the big points I've heard being discussed within the Notre Dame-B1G talks is the idea of leaving ESPN for a deal on Comcast (NBC/NBC Sports Net, formerly Versus). Comcast is eager to become a player, and the Big Ten will be the first major conference to be available to them. I maintain a lot of what's being done behind the scenes with the Big Ten is a play for 2015, hence why they (the B1G) are not in much of a hurry right now during expansion talks. [/QUOTE]
