Fact is
ND has been given about 29 years to work out its independence with 29 chosen because that is the last time they won a major bowl game. They would be on somebody's doorstep tomorrow begging for conference admittance were playoff access as an independent to dry up and with limited, if any, real championship runs going on 3 decades now their relevance to the playoff as an independent is largely a figment of mystique. It could also be argued that only the ACC, the PAC12 and the reconstituted Big12 provide them anything more than an outside shot at anything more than a rare appearance. It is time ND gets the respect they have actually earned in recent times as opposed to a pass from the days of Knute and Ara. [Post edited by 2hhoop3 at 01/11/2022 7:52PM]
