Open with McNeese St?

 

WELCOME TO THE SEC

To be fair, their other non con opponent is a Big East team...

Oh I'm not commenting on the schedule. But McNeese St is the SEC football whore.

Well, here's why UM is cancelling the ND series.

 

I would say Purdue probably will too. I can't imagine playing 9 B1G games, Notre Dame, and a Pac-12 team. One cupcake a year? We would never make a bowl.

 

With the additional one-game-a-season commitment to the Pac-12, Delany said the Big Ten — which added Nebraska as a member this year — likely will rethink its move to a nine-game conference schedule in football in 2017. Scott said his league will stick with nine.

I read that wrong the first time. I still think they will drop it. Stanford too? Are they going to want 9 conference games, ND, and a B1G opponent? USC has already been playing B1G - Minny and OSU most recently.

 

edit: I guess my point is that this could put ND in a real bind, no? 5 of their regular opponents are B1G/Pac-12 teams.

Huh? Mcneese State has played 1 SEC school in the last 10 years. They usually play Big XII teams (and obviously when they scheduled Texas A&M they thought they were playing another one). Or do you just mean Division 1-AA schools in general?

I do wonder if any of this is Delaney wagging his dick at ND to give them their last shot.

ND isn't joining the bigx. Purdue and ND commited to playing each other long term. I don't think MSU will drop ND either, given it's history. Esp if the bigx stays at an 8 game schedule.

 

USC isn't giving up the ND game. The Pac 12 already made concessions for USC and Stanford to keep playing ND at the end of the season. Stanford may drop ND, but I'd be surprised.

 

There are still a bunch of schools outside the bigx that ND can play to replace UM. And without UM taking up a coveted September slot, when nonconference scheduling is easier and southern schools will come up north, it shouldn't be a problem to make the Texas series long term or rotate SEC schools.

The latter. I'm surprised McNeese St has only played 1 SEC team in a decade but I was mocking the SEC for starting every year with a cupcake (thus, nothing says welcome to the SEC like playing a FCS school to start the year or whatever). It was a throw away joke.

ND isn't joining the bigx.

 

I forgot, they're joining Conference USA cause it's a better fit.

Conference USA is roughly as good a fit as the bigx.

Probably less drop outs.

Interesting article about ND and the B1G/Pac 12 schedule starting in 17. I think some of the interesting parts of it are the thought that there may actually be a playoff in the near future or that there will be no AQ for BCS games. So going forward you may see more schools schedule better games for SOS.
