Whether or not you want Notre Dame in a conference doesn't matter.
Purdue Game - This is typical ND Scheduling
- Thread starter Get Nasty
- Start date
False. ND chose to do this and continues to choose to do it.
It absolutely does, and we bow our head to many other teams to get our schedule to work since we are independent.
We are still independent due to TV deal revenue. Not for the athletes or the team.
NDs schedule is going to get really wonky in a few years due to teams not wanting to play any tough games outside of their conference
We’ll see how it works when teams conference schedules get much harder and they play 9 games in conference.
Revenue? ND would get a pay raise, at least in the short run, to join the BUG which would then demand an even higher payout.
ND will make $50M from NBC and $17M from ACC this year, big ten paid out $60M to each of its members last year, so ND a little bit ahead. They also don't have to share bowl game/cfp payments.
Three reasons why Notre Dame fans should be elated about the new NBC deal

Besides the $$$, the NBC contract (and playoff guidelines) provides 3 key benefits that Jack S sought;
1.) To be able to financially compete with everyone else.
2.) To have a fair end equitable path to the playoffs (now, you need to qualify of course).
3.) Allow ND to remain independent for the foreseeable future.
Jack Swarbick got ahead of this with the recent lucrative NBC TV contract deal. And the Notre Dame Admin also maintains what they cherish, Football Independence, as well as a fair path to the CFB playoff.
"Revenue? ND would get a pay raise, at least in the short run, to join the BUG which would then demand an even higher payout."
In the end, it not solely about the $$$ -- it also about the 1 thing ND cherishes the most -- Football independence.
Guess this will teach Purdue to not take their bye the second week of season !!
