Joel Klatt : College football needs to make USC 'move off' Notre Dame
- Thread starter Irishjohn68
- Start date
USC/ND just happens to be an example that's being used right now of the future reality where there are very few, if any out of conference games. It's obviously going to happen, it's just a matter of how long it takes.
And yes, along with that it will result in ND joining a conference. Hate it all you want, it's inevitable.

The sky is falling the sky is falling.
Every time something changes people say this will result in ND joining a conference. 25 years later and we still aren't in a conference
Klatt's a homer for the Big 10 and Big 12. He likes the Big 10 because he calls their games a lot. He likes the Big 12 because he played for Colorado.
But we are half in a conference and have been for many years. Plus, the changes have been coming faster and faster.
I think ND will be in a conference sooner than many think. And when that happens, many of those same people will be saying they saw it coming all along.
And after 25 years of saying that they will be finally be right.
But don't see that coming anytime soon. No reason to
The same guy in 2018 that called out Saban and said Bama was suffering because of him?
Tye same Joel Klatt that said an Iowa would be a rough game for Mich last year?
Tye same Joel that said Colorado was a conference contender last year?
This is his way to try to create drama to get ND to move to Big10.
There is no logic for ND to join a conference. This 'independence' thing has served the school very well and will continue to do so. Insofar as USC cancelling the rivalry, I also doubt that. But ND may have a lot pressure to join from the ACC now that the top brands are trying to get out.
It's all about clicks.
Colin Cowherd started this conversation a few days ago on his national radio show on Fox.
I hate the particular example that Klatt used, but he makes a really good point. If there's going to be a governing body over college sports, then it shouldn't it...you know...govern?
The NFL does quite well by setting the schedule for all of its teams. The NCAA could have some great schedules if it did the same. My ideal for college football would be all teams having full independence for their schedules. But if that's not going to happen, then I would much rather have an agreed-upon governing body setting the schedule for everyone than have these middle-men called conferences calling the shots.

if you’re trusting the NCAA to act in Notre Dame‘s best interests, you’re out of your mind
Allowing a bureaucratic agency to control Dame’s scheduling would be insane
There’s an enormous difference between the NFL, a ruthlessly efficient, stable organization, absent any inherent bias, presiding over only 32 teams and the NCAA.
KLATT IS CLUELESS !

Very good point. Cowherd, who is clueless in my opinion, made the statement that "USC should move off Notre Dame." Klatt, who I actually think is generally insightful, responded that it shouldn't be USC's job to move off Notre Dame, but that the NCAA should move toward controlling scheduling.
To PatIrish's question about trusting the NCAA to act in Notre Dame's best interests - no, no one should trust that. But if it comes to the point of trusting either the NCAA or the Big 10, I'm going with the NCAA. Here's hoping that type of choice isn't forced on us anytime soon.
The administration and AD have stated on numerous occasions. 3 things need to be in place for ND to remain independent.
1. Access to playoff/national championship - check
2. NBC - check
3. Scheduling - check (ND will always get games with top tier programs. It's a ratings bonanza)
I liked it when we were truly independent. But as I said, we are already halfway in a conference anyway and have been for years. So, maybe we should call just call ourselves semi-independent.
Why do I think ND will be forced to join a conference? Well, the ACC could implode overnight just like the Pac-10 did. Maybe we'll go back to what's left of the Big East then, but they really don't have any football teams left, so I guess we'll just work our way through the various directional schools we have begun to schedule in recent years like Northern Illinois and Central Michigan.
Or, at some point, the conferences (and I think there will be only two, the BIG and the SEC) can pretty much require us to join by refusing to allow teams to play us or not allowing us access to the playoffs.
In the end, I don't really know how much difference it will make.
This is why you’re an idiot. You have no idea if the two big contenders
Would shut ND off.
He’s not an idiot stating that the Big 10, etc., will not “…shut Notre Dame off…”
Yes I do. It would be terrible business for the SEC to do that. They aren't stupid
lol, money runs college football. If ND reaches out to UGA, Bama, Florida, etc. for a home and home. Not only with they agree, the networks would most likely force them to sign those games. It's all about ratings and $$$$$$$.
They already for the most part the SEC doesn’t like there schools playing ND. and the old Big 10 commissioner wanted BIG 10 schools to stop playing us.
Well that’s not true. Those schools will go out of there way to make ND suffer. Florida and Bama do not want anything to do with playing ND unless ND joins the SEC.
Yeah, that's why he invited ND hockey to join the conference.
