The old stockbroker.....

qualification comes instantly to mind, "past performance may not be indicative of future results." I do not believe money was nearly as high on the criteria as access. ND always had the TV contract and well oiled fundraising machine. What they cannot manufacture on their own is competition and championship access. Money could and probably did hinder recruiting which in turn had some effect on competition and championship access. They survived and revived last time. This time may be different depending on NIL, CFP and how the conference deals shake out. My belief is that ND highly values their independence and the only thing that surpasses that is if the landscape were to restrict their championship access and/or relegate them to a competitive level below the top tier.

The move by Tx and OK might lead conferences breaking away from the NCAA -- VTHal 07/22/2021 1:49PM

If there is a "P4" it won't be balanced. -- Maroon Baboon 07/22/2021 2:07PM

Depends on how much ND cares about the ACC. If they don't care, nothing -- Stech 07/22/2021 12:49PM

ND can always move their BB & non-revenue teams to another conference -- EDGEMAN 07/22/2021 3:06PM

I don't think ND wants those in the B1G. Don't think SEC either. -- HOO86 07/22/2021 3:27PM

Its an option for ND -- TerryD 07/22/2021 7:06PM

I don't think...... -- 2hhoop3 07/22/2021 7:12PM

I don't think or expect ND to care about the ACC. -- Maroon Baboon 07/22/2021 12:59PM

Not now, because so much is still moving. The Big 10 is -- goldendomer 07/22/2021 1:04PM

Just heard the Dude of Minnesota guy say that the B1G won't sit by -- Maroon Baboon 07/22/2021 1:27PM

It would serve Maryland basketball right to play in Oregon Tues nites. -- HOO86 07/22/2021 1:33PM

For the record, I think it would be a bad strategy on the B1G part. -- Maroon Baboon 07/22/2021 1:40PM

ACC is under Contract and GOR through 3036-37 -- HOO86 07/22/2021 1:46PM

2023 is the perfect time for PSU to make their move to the ACC...lol ** -- EDGEMAN 07/22/2021 3:07PM

It would be, but I don't expect to see it. -- HOO86 07/22/2021 3:10PM

Hard to take a pay cut, even to move to a better situation. ** -- EDGEMAN 07/22/2021 3:18PM

I will be over a thousand years old than. I really won't care if we join in -- goldendomer 07/22/2021 1:50PM

3036??? Dang....and I thought 15 years was a long time :) ** -- 5000 Miles to Blacksburg 07/22/2021 1:48PM

That is a tough question. One can care, yet not commit. -- goldendomer 07/22/2021 12:47PM

Yep only 1 of them got you to act, if ND doesn't care enough to act no ring -- Stech 07/22/2021 12:57PM

Right now we are in the what next phase. In theory, this -- goldendomer 07/22/2021 12:16PM

Short term, no. Medium term probably. -- Atlee Hokie 07/23/2021 04:05AM
