I don't hate ND for not being in a conference. I just question their BCS bowl credentials. I was a PSU fan for years during their "independent" years. They had great schedules with Miami, Texas, Alabama, ND, USC, etc. all in the same year. But I'm very satisfied with their choice to join the Big 10. ND is just greedy. They don't want to split bowl or TV revenue. They can hide behind "preserving their rivalries" all they want, but how awesome would this schedule be? : BC STAN USC TENN PSU IOWA MICH MSU PUR OSU NU MINN play a 12 game schedule, keep USC, maybe rotate ou Stanford, Tennessee and BC for BYU, PITT or Army each year. Then you have no controversy about whether the Irish deserve to go to BCS games or not
