With respect Irish fans -- SoCloseHokie 05/24/2016 06:43AM

Any attempt to create an exclusive playoff for four conferences is unlikely -- lawhokie 05/24/2016 2:22PM

Disagree. All the changes in cfball will cause many to tap out. -- chuckd4vt 05/24/2016 3:54PM

But we still have schools like ODU, UNC Charlotte entering the ranks.. -- lawhokie 05/24/2016 9:12PM

What about Idaho's decision to switch to the FCS subdivision? -- VTHokie2000 05/25/2016 5:23PM

Schools drop down and move up all the time... -- lawhokie 05/26/2016 07:55AM

To say "Schools drop down and move up all the time..." -- VTHokie2000 05/26/2016 11:37AM

I heard in 1995 -- TerryD 05/24/2016 12:23PM

Some MAJOR changes have occurred in cfball recently. This time is different -- chuckd4vt 05/24/2016 3:58PM

ND won zero national championships in the BCS era -- TerryD 05/24/2016 4:17PM

Not made up at all. If it's ever put to a vote, it will happen. ** -- chuckd4vt 05/24/2016 5:25PM

Re: I heard in 1995 -- SoCloseHokie 05/24/2016 1:14PM

Why is "easier path" the way to go? -- TerryD 05/24/2016 8:47PM

Functional -- daveinop 05/25/2016 07:46AM

Re: Was is -- SoCloseHokie 05/24/2016 4:16PM

12-0 in 2012; 10-2 last year (with two 2 pt. losses) -- TerryD 05/24/2016 4:27PM

ND will remain indy unless 1 or both of these events occurs -- ren_hoek 05/24/2016 10:52AM

Swarbrick said the the Big East wasn't really an option last time. -- goldendomer 05/24/2016 11:29AM

Ultimatum can't come until 2027 contract expiration date -- TerryD 05/24/2016 11:25AM

No one will deliver an ultimatum. 1968-69 will repeat itself ** -- daveinop 05/24/2016 1:13PM

The ACC doesn't want anyone here that doesn't want to be here. ** -- HOO86 05/24/2016 1:28PM

Yeah, they could do it a couple years before to pave the way but still -- goldendomer 05/24/2016 12:09PM

If the ACC did give Notre Dame an ultimatum, then how do you -- VTHokie2000 05/24/2016 12:37PM

We would go out to market and test the waters. Then come back with as much -- goldendomer 05/24/2016 12:42PM

If Notre Dame ends up testing the waters, then I would think -- VTHokie2000 05/24/2016 12:51PM

Constant WC travel would be a killer.... -- Mr. Touchdown 05/24/2016 1:48PM

Travel can be minimized with the proper scheduling -- VTHokie2000 05/24/2016 1:57PM

Yep, ND loves the arrangement now and the only reason I see -- goldendomer 05/24/2016 12:58PM

Truth. A few comments -- East Cobb Hokie 05/24/2016 12:11PM

IMO if there is just a P4 arrangement, the champions play off -- BigCrumpy 05/24/2016 11:21AM

ND would file an anti-trust lawsuit very quickly -- mrcaniac 05/24/2016 9:34PM

BCS to CFP Steger headed committee found a way to avoid that. ** -- East Cobb Hokie 05/25/2016 12:52PM

By giving the G5 and Independents access -- mrcaniac 05/25/2016 2:00PM

ECU is not a good comparison, how about University of Incarnate Word?** -- goldendomer 05/24/2016 12:18PM

Incarnate Word plays DI-FCS football (Southland Conference) -- VTHokie2000 05/24/2016 12:22PM

Big Crumpy makes such outlandish statements my comparision fits.** -- goldendomer 05/24/2016 12:29PM

Repentance is good for the soul. ** -- East Cobb Hokie 05/24/2016 12:28PM

Amen ** -- goldendomer 05/24/2016 12:30PM

Did you do 15 Hail Marys too? ** -- VTHokie2000 05/24/2016 12:32PM

:) ** -- goldendomer 05/24/2016 12:36PM

I have watched Incarnate Word... -- TerryD 05/24/2016 12:22PM

Beautiful School ** -- goldendomer 05/24/2016 12:27PM

Really think ND can always get into the Big-10 if they want it... -- EDGEMAN 05/24/2016 11:08AM

12-0 in 2012; 10-2 last year (with two 2 pt. losses)
