Quote:The Big Ten says they don't want one, but if they have to, they could probably snag Pitt (ND?) and get it.
This is what I want. Big Ten courted ND back in the 90s and they now say they won't court them that ND has to come to them. The Big east is a pile of shit for football now. Once the BCS decides what's going to happen in the future (and I don't think that will include an automatic bcs bid to the Big East champ.), I think ND will have no choice but to jump in a conference. Pitt will have to consider abandoning ship too.
I would much rather see my fighting Irish go 5-7 while in the Big Ten than as an independent. As an independent it's all or nothing for Notre Dame once they lose one (or two) games their season is over. That's just me.
Of course it's all driven by the almighty dollar and ND doesnt want to have to share their bowl revenues with a conference but guess what, I haven't seen them go to very many bowl games lately so it's a moot point.
I tell my fellow ND fan family that independence soon will be a thing of the past and these oldhead traditionalists look at me like I'm an alien.
