Did ND get their own......

contract in the latest or get it with a little help from B1G friends? Nobody in this day and age can really be independent and ND, like most things associated with their football program, is still more riding the coattails of performances 40 or more years ago as opposed to recent accomplishments.

Maroon Baboon 02/22/24 12:39 AM ET
11 out of 14 in the P2**

Read my posts above B1G & SEC want 4 auto bids each & they can get at large
Stech 02/22/24 01:23 PM ET
4 out of 4 were P2 this year. But yeah.
Maroon Baboon 02/22/24 12:31 PM ET
Read my post above ESPN & USA Today saying B1G & SEC want 4 Auto Bids each.
Stech 02/22/24 01:16 PM ET
FSU would’ve had a bye as top 4 ranked Conference Champion. Might want to
Stech 02/22/24 08:50 AM ET
I did 14 because it's was discussed at the CFP meetings in Dallas yesterday
Maroon Baboon 02/22/24 10:59 AM ET
I missed that, do you have a link?**
Stech 02/22/24 11:09 AM ET
Pete Thamel tweeted about it yesterday and again today.
Maroon Baboon 02/22/24 11:17 AM ET
Thanks, 14 team and revenue sharing mentioned too, I’m guessing Hokie83 was
Stech 02/22/24 11:27 AM ET
If they go to 16, and I think they will, it will be
Big12 guy 02/22/24 09:20 AM ET
It isn't THAT much money per school, probably $200k to $600k
PadrosWindup 02/22/24 11:50 AM ET
Question, and i don't have the answer to it - could Lane sell out for a
Big12 guy 02/22/24 12:00 PM ET
Yep. Why wouldn't it?**
MrFantastic! 02/22/24 03:09 PM ET
Of course, i didn't really doubt it, but to some programs, that money
Big12 guy 02/22/24 03:44 PM ET
You really think the P2 are worried about the other Conferences? They want
Stech 02/22/24 11:15 AM ET
No - they are worried about the cash cow they just
Big12 guy 02/22/24 11:31 AM ET
However you said in the post before they are throwing nonP2 a bone, this is
Stech 02/22/24 12:03 PM ET
The bone is to get their vote - nothing more. **
Big12 guy 02/22/24 12:06 PM ET
Gotcha, thanks for clarifying.**
Stech 02/22/24 12:07 PM ET
I'm a hard NO on 16 unless they get rid of conference title games.
Maroon Baboon 02/22/24 11:08 AM ET
Notre Dame is the hold up, every game causes injuries and home games are a
Stech 02/22/24 11:23 AM ET
Anyone is free to be an independent
TerryD 02/22/24 07:08 PM ET
That’s true, but why haven’t they chose to do that?**
Stech 02/22/24 08:04 PM ET
Did ND get their own......
2hhoop3 02/22/24 07:32 PM ET
They will go for growing the revenue pie over protecting the conference
Big12 guy 02/22/24 11:17 AM ET
I am not found of the CCGs to begin with. But I would love for a "FLEX"
Maroon Baboon 02/22/24 11:29 AM ET
Yeah, CCGs are now a relic of the past and no longer needed
HokieAl 02/22/24 11:43 AM ET
Damn that 2005 game! Would be VT 4, FSU 4.**
VT_NOVA 02/22/24 01:16 PM ET
You could argue that the fall of the conference model started with the SEC
Maroon Baboon 02/22/24 11:46 AM ET
That is a decent segue into a different conversation that the ACC
Big12 guy 02/22/24 11:39 AM ET
The B1G and SEC are so big now, I don't know why they even bother playing
Maroon Baboon 02/22/24 11:42 AM ET
Not about them, but finding ways to get the eyeballs ourselves. **
Big12 guy 02/22/24 11:43 AM ET
They'll move to 16 when conference championship games go away
Victor Tango 02/22/24 09:58 AM ET
I’ll just add, number 3, is if Notre Dame joins a Conference, they hold up
