Never.  I am a NDNation.com and Irish Illustrated (pay board) type of guy.  But, I checked out the thread.

Regarding that thread, it will mean almost nothing to me for ND football to win a division or conference title. That will hold little value for me.

It will mean much more to me if ND wins a national championship in football as an independent than as a full conference member.

In the former, it would be ND going against the grain, overcoming the higher odds and doing something nobody else has figured out how to do. Doing it by going its own way. That would be extremely satisfying to me.

In the latter, it would be doing it just like everyone else. It would not bring the same amount of enjoyment to me.

IF ND football joins a conference, I will likely have a diminished interest in that program than I do now and have for fifty years.

Joining a conference means a surrender by ND to me. It means turning your back on 127 years of going your own way and the men who made it happen.

Anyway, time will tell and things will happen or not whether I like them or not.  Take care.
