Pretty much know the history. It's just

a non issue out here in flyover. I pretty much know my school, or any school in the B12 will never be a ND, so give unto Caesar that which is Caesar's. Just to ask a question, if tOSO and Alabama approached the ACC, would you give them the same deal as ND? ** Edited by Big12 guy at 1/14/2026, 5:51:10 PM

Should the rest of college football expand & let ND be an isolationist?
Stech • 01/13/26 07:27 PM ET
Major college football needs to separate from the rest of college athletics
hokieZ71 • 01/14/26 05:30 PM ET
Can the schools separate college football and still be compliant with Title

There is only 1 question to be asked
mrcaniac • 01/16/26 12:11 PM ET
Exactly**

I liked 90% of what you said, the Metro part was a no go for me, but an A

They should have done that when they passed title 9. I

Amen**

Seriously, I love your consistency.**
Stech • 01/14/26 07:15 AM ET
ND football independence forever
TerryD • 01/14/26 12:11 PM ET
In all sports? Great!**
Calamitous • 01/15/26 10:25 PM ET
I think that only fans in the ACC even care. **
Big12 guy • 01/14/26 12:20 PM ET
You’ might care when the ACC implodes and the ND leach starts…
Calamitous • 01/15/26 10:36 PM ET
ND will be appealing to the B12 no doubt. It would surprise me if
Big12 guy • 01/16/26 09:22 AM ET
Yes, I could see VT turn down a 12-year scheduling agreement with ND
VTHokie2000 • 01/16/26 12:47 PM ET
I very strongly....
2hhoop3 • 01/15/26 01:27 PM ET
Many definitely used to want them, but with expanded playoff 0 chance, we
Stech • 01/14/26 04:22 PM ET
ND doesn't want anyone to use them
TerryD • 01/14/26 08:00 PM ET
ND apparently needs the ACC (or some other sucker) for all their other…

Pretty much know the history. It's just ◄
Big12 guy • 01/14/26 04:53 PM ET
So you’re okay if Kansas ranked 15, but ND is 16 they get in not Kansas?**
Stech • 01/14/26 06:25 PM ET
Sure
TerryD • 01/14/26 08:01 PM ET
I don’t like any auto bids beyond Conference Champions, if ND wants 1, join
Stech • 01/14/26 08:49 PM ET
Why should they have to pay a price?**
Big12 guy • 01/15/26 08:02 AM ET
LOL ND lover, they are paying anything but a price. ND selfishness is about
Stech • 01/15/26 11:03 PM ET
If the ACC implodes, Big 12 guy might experience it first hand**
Calamitous • 01/15/26 11:48 PM ET
I can see why you guys are bitter, but business is business and
Big12 guy • 01/16/26 02:41 PM ET
Notre Dame is very lucky to have a safety net for their other sports…
Calamitous • 01/16/26 08:23 PM ET
Good question
TerryD • 01/15/26 01:14 PM ET
ND is not a holy object either…
Calamitous • 01/15/26 11:58 PM ET
But multiple conference autobids are coming
TerryD • 01/15/26 06:56 AM ET
I don't like that either.**
Stech • 01/15/26 10:53 AM ET
You don't like reality, then
TerryD • 01/15/26 12:10 PM ET
Sure. College football needs ND a lot more than it needs KU.**
Big12 guy • 01/14/26 07:20 PM ET
I don’t believe you will think that if it happens, but if so that’s sick.**
Stech • 01/14/26 08:39 PM ET
It's just reality Stech. Look around - what
Big12 guy • 01/14/26 10:24 PM ET
I actually agree that ND should not be punished….
Calamitous • 01/16/26 12:15 AM ET
There is nothing holy or sacred about conference membership
TerryD • 01/15/26 06:58 AM ET
There is nothing holy or sacred about ND sports either…
Calamitous • 01/16/26 12:23 AM ET
100%**
Big12 guy • 01/15/26 07:00 AM ET
If they can & want to be isolationist, fine, but don’t rig the system 4 ND,
Stech • 01/15/26 01:03 AM ET
ND will likely get the same deal at 16
TerryD • 01/14/26 04:27 PM ET
What deal?**
Stech • 01/14/26 04:35 PM ET
If in top 16, automatic bid
TerryD • 01/14/26 04:47 PM ET
If the G5 gets at least one automatic bid…
Calamitous • 01/16/26 12:33 AM ET
I disagree if another school is ranked better, but ND gets in instead, you?**
Stech • 01/14/26 06:23 PM ET
No
TerryD • 01/14/26 06:53 PM ET
They didn’t do it for all Independents, just ND, disgusting!!!**
Stech • 01/14/26 08:44 PM ET
Nobody put a gun to anyone's head
TerryD • 01/15/26 06:59 AM ET
No, Big Ten fans seem to care a lot
TerryD • 01/14/26 12:22 PM ET
Hey… that’s how I feel about ND’s treatment of the ACC**
Calamitous • 01/16/26 12:43 AM ET
I'm all in for Indiana, otherwise they can all go to *****
Big12 guy • 01/14/26 12:29 PM ET
I think it’s evolving that way naturally…
Calamitous • 01/13/26 08:49 PM ET
Big East will take them back for other sports in less than a second.
