Wait, haven't you said
if it was conference champions only in the CFP ND would join in a heartbeat? - now independence is more important?
I don't care if ND joins a conference or not, but feeling entitled to special rules just because of your history reeks of elitism. In today's world many old institutions are having to rethink the way they do business, just because you've always done it in an exclusive way doesn't fly anymore.
Many of these institutions, like ND, could point out statistics (wins, better business results, etc) that show they "deserve" this status based on previous performances - and that should automatically keep them in the elite class where others don't belong until they "earn" it - without the benefit of the special rules. Giving specific examples would violate TOS. Society is more and more frowning on that attitude - and IMHO is one reason that ND is catching more and more grief.
Many ND fans have this attitude is spades - and I know of what I speak - this is where I sat at the last ND - VT game - and the outright indignation (not friendly game day opponent banter) that I could be sitting there in full VT gear was readily apparent.
