Notre Dame's future conference home is a topic you could write books about its been discussed so much. The title of the book could be, "ND and B1G? Never in a million years"
Most of the time on here we are able to banter back and forth our opinions, on something like this there is an encyclopedia of informed opinions. Im just repeating those.
Geographics has little, if anything to do with it, imo. It's about the institutions. Places of higher learning. That's what the B1G represents..and so does ND..
_ichigan Football would be Minnesota without The Great State of Ohio!! O-H! I-O!

Agree completely
There is nothing exciting about playing in the big 10 with the exception of OSU, Mich, or Nebraska.

Yeh I agree about GT obviously having no real effect on kids. It's a Dawg state, not naive enough to ignore that, and a southern state as well. Just some inroads are better than none at all.

It's a high-caliber state for recruiting. Kids will not have a problem leaving for any school given the right circumstances for success and development. Ohio State, Michigan will have zero problems grabbing kids more often with B1G footprint in the peach state. JMO.

Notre Dame does not see itself as a Big Ten university. It really doesn't fit in with the Big Ten. It's an undergraduate university with a well rounded education.
Based on my conversations with actual alumni, it seems as though it's more of a Gen Ed university with concentrations rather than a big university with diverse majors. It's a great school but they have a different education outlook than say Purdue, Michigan, Penn State, and so on. Many Big Ten universities concentrate on graduate schools and research. Not that ND doesn't do that also, but they have a focus on undergrad that other schools in the Big Ten don't.
I would love for ND to join the Big Ten but it's not a Big Ten school. Alumni of ND would probably agree.
Secretly, I don't want ND to join the Big Ten. It's a unique school and as far as sports goes, it should remain an independent and just feed off lesser conferences to house their non revenue sports.

That's the ND spin, but it's a load of crap. ND has been in a conference for nearly two decades ... the Big East. And they recently just agreed to leave the Big East for the ACC. ND is simply withholding their football program hecause it's best for their football program. It has nothing to do with academics or research. It has to do with football. And that's fine, just like it will be fine if UT eventually goes independent for football. And just like BYU was in the MWC for awhile and has now gone independent for football. Schools have every right to run their football programs however they want so long as it's within the rules. But these are football decisions, not academic decisions.
