[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Notre Dame can remain as an independent because Notre Dame football draws viewers regardless of the opponent.

Stanford & Cal football cannot even generate excitement among their own respective student bodies.

(The US Military Academy at West Point is also an independent in D-1 college football.)[/quote]

If the big conferences all go to a 10 game schedule, there won't be anyone for Navy to play other than second tier competition and the service academies...and I guess Stanford and Cal.[/quote]

Interesting point, but the Navy/Notre Dame rivalry is much more highly valued by Notre Dame than is ND's rivalry with Stanford.

The Big Ten Conference, the SEC, and the Big 12 Conference are all in great positions regarding their football fortunes.

Notre Dame is in a good position, but that can change depending upon the upcoming redesign of the CFP (college football playoff).[/quote]

I think Notre Dame will still be fine for the CFP. The Big10 and SEC can't design it in a way that opens the to accusations of acting like a cartel to abuse market position. The G5 and independent will have a route, if anything, expanding to 12 helps a school like ND because they are consistently overrated [/quote]
