[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Perhaps the biggest concession that the Big Ten Conference could offer Notre Dame would be to allow Notre Dame to join the Big Ten Conference just for football & ice hockey. Notre Dame's Olympic sports could remain as part of the ACC.

But, would the Big Ten Conference allow Notre Dame to play just 6 of 12 football games against Big Ten opponents until Notre Dame's 5 games per year obligation to the ACC expires ? The 12th game for Notre Dame would be against traditional rival Navy.

Notre Dame's 6 Big Ten Conference games could all be played on NBC.

If Notre Dame football moved to the Big ten Conference for just 6 games per year, the payout to Big Ten Conference teams would be at about $100 million each.

Agree. The only reason the Notre Dame is in the B1G for hockey is that there aren’t enough teams in the conference who play the sport.  Pretty much all other sports are covered by most conference teams and ND would naturally ally and want to be with the rest of the conference in those.   It’s only in football that ND wants to be independent.  Look for the Big 10 to freeze out the school if they don’t join on the future.  [b]There is little to no benefit for the B1G to schedule contests with ND[/b].[/quote]

Other than massive TV viewership ratings.[/quote]

For one perhaps two games a year? Hardly worth it for the Big Ten.  Notre Dame needs the Big Ten much more than the other way around. [/quote]

Actually, for almost every Notre Dame football game.

Why would the B1G care about ND’s ability to put “butts in the seats” of non conference schools?   ND thinks they’re more important than the rest of college football.  It’s high time they get their comeuppance. [/quote]
