Notre Dame cannot afford to get that extra money in the Big Ten. There is a Texas fan who calls the BT the Borg. If you know Star Trek Next Generation you know what he means. If you know the BT you know why ND, a small private school, can never risk turning to the BT. The result would be that ND would be assumed by the BT Borg, digested into its entity, which always will be first and foremost about Ohio St - Michigan (for sports) and huge flagship and/or land grant state schools (for academics).

You know how giant international corporations buy extremely profitable and unique small companies and then absorb them so that they lose everything that made them worth having so that what they once were now benefits the behemoth that swallowed them, and the once unique company is dead in all but name and stock options? That's what the BT Borg would do to ND, the entire university and not just its football.

The University of Notre Dame can never risk that.

And frankly, if it were stupid enough to risk it, it would deserve the fate.
