Correction… ND is ND’s only real ally re: independence.

The SEC is gaming ND much the way ND games everyone else. It’s the whole the enemy of my enemy is my friend thing and ND is pretty much everyone’s enemy because of their elitist and obnoxious behavior. BTW… ND needs to go independent in ALL sports if independence is so important. Otherwise they should join the ACC in football. If they simply can’t, the noble thing for ND would be to leave the ACC and be independent in all sports. No one ever talks about this.
