ND has their own TV deal, they don’t want a football conference. Why a conference would take them without football is beyond me
If there are 4 super conferences of 16 teams (Big-10, SEC, Big 12, Pac-12) who agree to just play each other and Notre Dame isn’t part of it, NBC will drop ‘em. Notre Dame will be reduced to playing I-AA schools. Who will be left for them to play?
