What you persist in missing is that (A) The CFB football world that ND hoped to protect for itself with independence is dead and buried; (B) The demi-godlike power of multi-billionaire corporations is inextricably bound to all conference realignment, and it would just as soon steamroll everyone and everything that ND assumes is what it is preserving as bother swerving ever so slightly to avoid the destruction; (C) Acting always for self and self alone guarantees that when the time comes that you are in need of allies, you are unlikely to find any that are true friends; (D) As Jack Swarbrick has boasted, the now 30 years of conference realignment was actually started by ND getting an independent TV deal - that means that all the casualties of conference realignment have ND to blame for the process; (E) This most recent move certainly will spur the Big Ten and Fox to react, and if the SEC decides to war against the BT's reaction, then the end game for an ND that has remained not a full member of ACC football will be either join the SEC or the BT (the only 2 Major conferences by that point) or else accept reduced status; () ND long has expressed its frustration that changes in Major CFB have homogenized things so that smaller schools and private schools have either been dropped or else barely hang on. The ACC is the only Major conference with multiple private schools and smaller state schools.
