Will ND Finally Give In And Loose Its Independent Status?
With the BCS structure up in the air, and both the Big 10 and Pac 10 looking to possibly expand, the question remains: is Notre Dame going to finally give up its independence?
Notre Dame, previous to recent years, has always been one of the most dominant football teams year in and year out. With the third most wins all time and tying for the most Heisman trophy winners, ND is one of the great american football teams. The school always seems to have this alure about it; strange things happen with this school that just make you ask why! For instance, even with poor season in recent years, they have one of the most lucrative TV deals of any team with NBC, reported being worth 9 million a year.
Adding to this allure is the schools independent status… They belong to the Big East for basketball, but prefer to call their own shots in football. Finally this may come to an end. As a Big 10 fan, I would love to see Notre Dame as an addition. It would work perfect! They already have legendary rivalries with Michigan and Ohio State, amongst others less prestigious; plus they gain valuable BCS leverage in terms of achieving a National Championship.
Make the right decision ND, join the Big 10! We would love to see you! (And beat up on you…. Michigan Fan
