[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ND wasn’t invited to the CFP because of their refusal to enter into a P4 conference. Their choice limits the power and influence of the sport’s power brokers, including ESPN. ND understands the game it is playing by staying independent. I like ND, but no tears for them. ND declining a bowl game hurts the power brokers too (as is the case with teams like Iowa State which declined a bowl game and is being fined for it).  With most everything in college football revolving around money, it is difficult to get worked up about any of these issues.

[b]I am a Duke grad and am disillusioned about what the school has to do to be competitive in football.[/b] Kind of a silly concern because football requires a compromise in everything it touches. My grandfather was a pro football player too and I have lots of interest in the game. Gone are the days of Duke’s Ted Roof where they could show up and be 2-10 just to remain eligible to play basketball in the ACC. From an athletic department survival perspective it is nice to see Duke win the ACC. But make no mistake, they likely are not even an average team and their win  makes it more likely that ACC schools will be left out as the football powers march to a one league consolidation.[b] ND is an ACC member in all sports but football,[/b] and ND is not going to join the ACC in the state that it is in.

Doesn't Duke have a basketball team that is phenomenal every year ?

Notre Dame is a Big Ten Conference member for ice hockey.[/quote]
