I fully agree with this Notre Dame can do whatever the gently caress they want

I am saying it is time we stopped indulging them in doing so. by doing things like giving them special extra money and such. You wanna be independent? Fine, you get the same money UConn etc do

If you sub “white people” in for ND, his argument could be on Breitbart.

Notre Dame has two playoff appearances, which makes them way more successful than 95% of other schools

And in the 12 team playoff, they'll be probably guaranteed a spot if they go 10-2



Like, no one likes ND but they're a pretty solid on the field

It isn't really Notre Dame's fault no one else decided to stay independent. As long as independent teams are allowed to exist, there is the possibility of a major team being an independent and must be accounted for. I blame NBC more than anyone else, for allowing one specific independent to be the last one standing.

Honestly think UConn looks reasonable not being one of the teams willing to join a geographically nonsensical conference that makes zero sense for anything except football just for the sake of being in a conference. I don’t think UConn football needs to worry about their path to the playoff.

Sometimes I wonder if we'd be better off with conferences arranged by sport rather than "you're in the Big Ten, so every sport you have plays a Big Ten schedule."

I'm not a college basketball fan at all, but they're getting completely hosed in all this. If there was an option that you could align your football and basketball teams in different conferences, I suspect you'd see some really interesting and logical things happen.

basketball has been/looks to continue to be somewhat respectable at least going forward. the real woof sport is baseball, just a total blackhole there

Yeah northern baseball teams are incredibly disadvantaged by college baseball season starting in February thus necessitating them going on the road for the first month+ of the season

For reference, this is from 2021 so the numbers aren't totally correct any more but here are the CWS appearances by teams in each conference (using team membership at the time in 2021 so for example all of Texas' appearances from the SWC years count for the Big 12):
SEC - 106
Pac-12 (RIP) - 103
ACC - 98
Big 12 - 80
Big 10 - 29

And just for fun:
Big West - 26

There is an obvious outlier here and it isn't because no one in Michigan, Indiana or Ohio likes baseball

I was always surprised one of the big money SEC schools didn't have some hockey-crazed booster willing to push the club hockey teams they all have into actual-rear end D1.

I mean, the UA board killed UAH's team. UA has a pretty well-funded hockey team. Buy them an arena already

we used to be happy in the CCHA then realignment or whatever happened and hosed everything up.

And gently caress you Notre Dame for being B1G for Hockey cause that's better than ACC, but ACC for everything else (except football) for convenience.

Actually just gently caress you Notre Dame, glad we bounced your rear end from the Big Ten hockey tournament.
