Message: [QUOTE="FRANKIEFAN, post: 4294861, member: 6729"] The ACC has been good to ND though they haven't lost more than 1-2 games over the last decade to the rank and file teams and they have been in the national title discussion most years while the decade prior ND wasn't close at all and were typically going 7-5. ND is going to lose a lot more games in an expanded Big Ten than they do now. I don't think ND wants any part in having to beat Iowa, Illinois, Purdue, Nebby week in week out let alone the good teams in that league. I'd much rather rack up W's against service academies and UNC or Wake. Independent when there are no relevant conferences other than the Big Ten or SEC is different though. The last few decades they have been able to claim being on par with most of the BCS conferences if not all of them. If those leagues are G5 then you just can't be lumped in with them. You'll get a seat in the Big Ten of course but I don't think this is good for you. [/QUOTE]
