Message: [QUOTE="DezisOrange, post: 32994, member: 656"] First off...no...never...ever...for anybody. Number two as an avowed all time ND hater I can never for the life of me understand why anybody keeps coming up with suggestions to try and help this selfish "independant" school. All in or all out.! Please all of college football...make'em join a league...or stay independant in football and your other teams die! The BE for all intents and purposes raised all their sporting programs from the dead and gave them high national profile...all for a BE game a year and a bowl beth that comes outta our conference (or whatever the deal is) and the deal has always been one sided. For years they could have been all in (even keep your TV money) and helped save the league. Didn't do it. Beneath them. They are not in our league for football. But as has been reported by others (way more knowledgeable than I)they got to vote on and voted no to the last espn tv contract offer for the BE. Which turned out to being one of the last straws for SU and Pitt and puts us at where we are today. I have felt this way since the beginning...no other conference of the larger ones but ours makes that deal, but our former one. You want to leverage your great name and considerable tv presence as an independant in football by allowing some league the "gracious opportunity" for a game or so a year, for the opportunity to park your other teams in a conference...I can think of many conferences willing...Sun Belt,WAC,A10,etc. They should be more than happy to make that deal. Any other conference with any self respect, power or whatever should always tell ND to p*** off! And the cherry on top of it all is...their football sucks! Year after year of top 10 or 5 recruiting classes and they don't even win! We beat'em with a GRob team! ( you may not have noticed...I HATE ND!) [/QUOTE]
