I can't say anything bad about the big 10 because I just heard a rumor we might be going there. seriously? Just from some boosters with some knowledge about the school...a heck of a lot more than I have. The academic and sports seem to match up well and this might also be a go to heck (from Big 10 people) to ND from what I've heard. Boy, that would teach us, all right. no, having all big ten teams refuse to schedule ND would teach them, however Well, ND and Michigan are contracted to play until 2031, so that's out. In my opinion, if ND stopped playing the Big Ten, good riddance. how would you fill the other half of your schedule? You mean 3 games, and somehow I think there are other teams besides the 8 or 9 that currently play us yearly that wouldn't mind it too much. oh, im sure lots of teams wouldn't mind playing notre dame every year. can never use too many wins. I'm sure that's what the Sooners figured would happen when they came to the stadium in 1999 to face a crappy ND team that went 5-7 that year. Actually in all seriousness I think they're scheduled to play each other again in like 7 years or something. So that should be fun at least. That was a game that we had all but sewn up, but a young team choked it away. We did win the national championship the next year, do you know what that's like.
