Oh. Well if “NevadaBuck” says so……

 

[DJ Spanky]

Yeah. I'll believe it when I see it.

They belong and would be a perfect fit.

The article points out that the discussions for an expanded playoff controlled by the B1G/SEC do include a guaranteed spot for ND if they are ranked X or higher, then claims ND will join the B1G to avoid being shut out of the playoff. Dumb.

 

[HeavenUniv.]

Any updates from Sir Yacht ?

 

[MADHAT1]

Every year Notre Dame to the B1G is the rumor
Fact : Notre Dame's football program will remain independent

 

[LotusAggressor]

This again?

 

[DJ Spanky]

This again?

Exactly.

What does the Dude from WV think? His opinions are usually right, except when they're wrong.

I don’t understand why the SEC/B1G don’t force their hand. Make the playoff available to schools in the following conferences: SEC, B1G, ACC, Big12 and ranked schools from the G5. There are no other independents worth considering and it makes no sense to save a spot just for them. It’s time.

I always get my info from Khosalu Puro! Whoever she is!

Not to steal from the "tush push" thread but this is literally the opposite of the "spirit of sports".

Literally isolating teams from a championship.
As long as their are independents, they have to be included in any playoff scenario.
The rule would be to ban independents.


However, the "spirit of college athletics" specifically is to create the most uneven playing field possible. So maybe it is a good idea?

Isn't "Essentially Sports" a cheap shit site that scrapes stories/rumors from real sports reporting sites, then regurges them via AI bot?

Not worth an update to an old thread, let alone a thread of its own. 1/5

A different guy on this board. This nonsense comes from a woman who covers the NFL for a media outlet I've never heard of

Why would ND football want to make it harder to get in the playoffs?
Play a mostly ACC = weak schedule and get in.

Yes the logic is weak in that article.

So ND has a carved out spot set aside for independents(no true independent outside of them) in the playoff scenario, Also they can create their own patty cake schedule, if they desire, to insure playoff inclusion. Yet now ND feels inclined to join a conference? . Makes zero logical sense.

what i meant to say was this nevadabuck reporter on the OSU podcast not long ago said fsu to the big ten was a done deal.

Well technically UConn could get an independent slot to the playoffs....hahahahahahahahaha!

Only question is when not if.

Why does the headline say P5 conference? There are no longer 5 power conferences. Story is BS.

 

[MADHAT1]

As long as there's somewhere for Notre Dame to place its other sports, ND will be independent in football
If for any reason the ACC and ND end their deal, look for the Big East to take the Irish's other sports. while the Big 12 fills up the games that once were part of the ACC's deal with Notre Dame .

BYU vs. ND might become a regular Big 12/ND match-up because it might have a high TV ratings
that's good fot the Vitamin Conference and the imitation Irish.

Because it's a hacky third-rate sports site based in India. Not sure why anyone would start a post around an article from there.
