Who cares about hockey in CR ?

We are talking about football, the only sport that really counts That was Jack Searbrick's Folly to join the Big Ten for hockey. He didn't like the Hockey Easy travel issues. Big mistake by him. Conversely, what ever happened to the Big Ten's decades old "all in or nothing" stance regarding ND ?? They seemed to change it for hockey but not football. ** Edited by TerryD at 3/14/2025, 11:58:33 AM

Why do people think that ND wants to be in the Big10?

What I suspect will be the endgame for realignment

Unless the "P2" gets an antitrust exemption from Congress

I have very similar feelings about the ACC.**
hok1eboy • 03/14/25 06:05 PM ET
Are you suggesting that if Notre Dame was forced to pick a P2 conference
VTHokie2000 • 03/13/25 06:39 PM ET
If they had to pick a football conference today, would it not be the ACC?
seekoHoG • 03/14/25 08:05 PM ET
Not if the P2 ended up doing its own thing (think AFL-NFL type merger) and

No, the Big Ten gave in

ND gave in also

You make a fair point about Notre Dame's record against the ACC. However,
VTHokie2000 • 03/15/25 11:12 AM ET

Playoffs only include conference champions/runners up.
hokieZ71 • 03/13/25 01:08 PM ET
Those 3 conferences and the CFP will be writing a very large check to ND

Exclude them from the playoffs.**
HokieNoVA • 03/13/25 12:34 PM ET
Legal? Anti-Trust violation ?

May be?
mrcaniac • 03/13/25 01:14 PM ET
I was being diplomatic
TerryD • 03/13/25 02:28 PM ET
It may not be a violation of antitrust laws if the P2 conferences end up
VTHokie2000 • 03/13/25 06:46 PM ET
There are message board speculation and legal ramifications

Ok, so its about keeping them out of the B10. That makes way more sense
