Not a fan of the Domers but if they add a Notre Dame and a UNC, UVA, Miami type of team, nobody will care. Stanford brings superior academics, better overall athletics, and the Bay area TV market. Notre Dame brings a historic past in football, with emphasis on 'past'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they didnt want to go to 20 without Notre Dame. Will be viewed as a mistake 20 years from now. Eventually, even with the NBC revenue stream, ND’s hand will forced, and they’ll have to join a conference or risk being the odd man out come CFP time. Once the CFP format is increased to 12 teams, mega conferences could get 3-4 bids each, leaving extreme pressure on ND to go undefeated or risk being left out of the playoffs.

Please tell me of any BIG team not named Michigan, Ohio State or Penn State that can hold a candle next to ND in it’s current state of flux?

You are basing that on ONE sport. Stanford has 134 national championships across all sports. Notre Dame has 34. I'm not a math wizard, but I do believe that calculates to Stanford having 100 more championships than the Irish. When you factor in academic prestige, there is a clear winner and it is not ND.

No one pays any attention to the sports that Stanford or I competed in!!!! ND was like our big brother for me. They were National Champions and they encouraged us to play in their world!

They should go to the ACC…easiest conference to win and make the playoffs each year…the real issue is with the conferences getting so big if they all go 9-10 conference games then ND will have no one to play.

Good point, and just another reason they’ll need to join a conference. Agree, ACC may be their best option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would have to get paid $$ to do it because they can get a big tv deal just about anywhere…but in the end if they can’t play USC/Stanford every year…well that would be a problem…how much would someone pay to watch them play the service academies and a bunch of group of 6 conference teams. If ACC and B1G go 10 conference games because they expanded…not sure Stanford and USC have appetite to play ND anymore much less the other ACC/B1G games that make up their typical schedule.

Reacher Posted September 7, 2023 Report Share Posted September 7, 2023 Looks like the conference is looking at 14 single play and 3 double play games (total of 20) for mens and womens basketball. The schedule will continue to matter in determining the conference champion. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
