Message: [QUOTE="Hoo's That, post: 3043147, member: 3609"] ND doesn't have any sort of veto like that; geography and enrollment do. A goodly number of the Catholic schools are within big cities which makes it tough for on-campus anything and/or are regional schools that don't have large enrollments (Creighton in Omaha; Santa Clara; Marquette in Milwaukee; DePaul in Chicago). BC managed to stay in D-1A, while its former blood rival Holy Cross had to go to D-1AA. Trivia factoid: When BC beat ND in 1993, that was the first time ND ever lost to a Catholic school. And a number of them that don't play D-1 football now (like the Bonnies, Marquette and St. Louis) played ND in ancient times. [/QUOTE]
