[QUOTE="AggieAngst, post: 792298, member: 65024"] You are correct that Notre Dame is not likely to join the Big East for football. The point the blogger was making however, was that there isnt an overwhelming advantage for ND to join the Big10 over the Big East, either. Especially when you factor in the fact that it would be easier for ND to make it to a Bcs Bowl Game in the Big East, and ND really loves the Big East for basketball and does not want to leave the Big East in all its other sports. The other point he was trying to make is that if KU, KSU, and Mizzou join the Big East, then he has heard that ND will finally get that ultimatum to join or leave. The Big East cannot have 22 members for basketball. At some point, if the Big East is able to gain significant strength ( i.e. - by adding KU, KSU, and MU), and the Big East is sitting there with over 20 basketball members, then ND will get the word from the Big East that it is time to decide. ND probably goes Indy at that point, however, if they do decide to join a conf, it isnt the foregone conclusion that some people think it is, that the Big 10 will be their decision. If ND ever does make the decision to join a conf, the Big East has almost as good a shot at getting ND as the Big 10 does, due to being the best college basketball conf in the nation, and the increased chance ND would have to go to Bcs Bowl games regularly. He never said ND is likely to join the Big East. Only that if they do join a conf, the Big East has as good a chance at them as any other conf, in the unlikely event they do choose to join a conference. And in any event, if KU, KSU, and MU join the Big East, who really needs ND anymore? They arent that good at football, their basketball isnt so good that KU, KSU and MU cant replace them easily in that sport, and they wouldnt be needed by the Big East anymore, just for basketball and other sports. It would be time for the Big East to give them the choice to join or leave. They most likely leave to be Indy, but if they do decide it is finally time to join a conf, the Big East has a genuine shot to get ND in all sports. The same shot that the Big 10 has. And no other conf has any shot at all at getting ND, for football, except the Big 10 and Big East. [/QUOTE]
