Message: [QUOTE="normaliswear, post: 284284, member: 1478"] Number one is true... chances are ND will remain independant. But its not a guarentee, the new BCS system could force them into a conference. The breakup of the BE could be enough to convince them to join a conference. Niether is likely, but I'd put the odds at about 25%. Your second point I greatly disagree with. If ND DOES join a conference, it will likely be the ACC. Despite their geographic location ND is a national school recruiting-wise and an Eastern school in culture. They fit much better with small private schools like Duke, and Wake, Catholic schools like BC, and Eastern schools like SU and Pitt than they do with the Big 10. As for your 3rd point, if ND asks into the ACC, the ACC wont even let them finish the sentence before saying yes. And well, number 4 of "whom the 4th school would be" is what the rest of the thread is about. [/QUOTE]
