Message: [QUOTE="TerryD, post: 5595424, member: 3399"] You guys all miss the big picture, the entire point. ND wants to end up permanently right where it is, a football independent. It doesn't want to join, create, or stabilize a conference. ND does not believe it will ever be forced into a conference. Right after the playoff teams were announced, ND AD Pete Bevacqua said this: "We love being independent in football. It’s part of our DNA,” Bevacqua said. “We have zero intention of changing that. It’s part of who Notre Dame is. Quite frankly, this further cements our independence. We are out there fighting for ourselves. That’s something we accept.” [/QUOTE]
