Is it time for the SEC to court noter dang?

Consider, if you will…

a giant orange pucker-hole located in Austin, Texas which errantly claims superiority over everything within its orbit…meeting an equally, all-consuming golden-clad pucker-hole in South Bend, Indiana…which has aMASSed an equal amount of Ego-MASS whilst avoiding any form of Conferrence…

…meeting within a singular shared space of existence.

Everything existing within the space between the two would cease to exist…being ripped apart from the twin-kinetic forces fighting for SEC (Super-Ego-Control) dominance!!!
 
I read (take it for what it is worth) that ND is going to pull out of the ACC. Not sure if this is just extreme fan whining or it they're actually considering it.

If they do, I will laugh for a week straight. I think I'll call it "Pulling a Kiffen."
 
I applaud the OP for raising the topic. The potential dollars demand consideration.

That being said, IMO there's no way ND would consider joining a conference of southern teams. It's beneath them, in their minds.

Likewise, I would not want ND in the SEC. The SEC doesn't need another prima donna. Nor does the SEC need an entity that would expect special treatment, then still leave the conference as soon as they felt it convenient to do so. So ND to the SEC.... NO!
 
Hell no, let them rot and no power 4 school should schedule them. College football will be just fine without Notre Dame being relevant.

this is what the collective ND fan / alum is rallying around.

Could be interesting if the SEC & BigX decide they've had enough of the nonsensical meanderings of the NCAA & current CFP setup to create their own "super-league" and ND gets to play (as an independent) with the wannabe G5s+ACCs that remain.

I will say the inclusion of G5 in the CFP makes no sense whatsoever. Including TWO G5's makes even less than no sense - especially when the result excludes a 2025 ND team that is playing as well as any team right now (regardless of what we think about them). They play ball the way it should be played and are well-coached. They're balanced, play hard, and have the guy who should win the Heisman (their RB J. Love). They dominated (aside from 2 games they lost) but their average opponent quality is pretty pathetic. That's why they're sitting at home in the snow. At least they're still NDpendent! :D

That said, compare how we reacted, collectively, last year to how ND is reacting this year and you'll see everything that you need to know about why ND is hated.

While I doubt ND would join the SEC (but never say never; see next paragraph), I'd enthusiastically support it provided ND joined under the terms similar to those for UTw. The Horns got some additional, but still relatively minor, consideration because of the value of their brand to the conference (buyout/wind-down of Longhorn Network; full share on Day 1; premium brand placement). If ND would accept proportional terms, it would be a good deal for the league. A game every few years at South Bend would be fine with me; bonus if it's later in the season; the Grotto at night in the snow is worth it.

As for ND and the B1G, in the current financial environment I would never say they would never do it, but it's difficult to overstate the disdain most ND alums and fans have for that conference. Their collective memory is of a cabal of schools that refused to play ND for the sole reason that ND was Catholic Could that be overcome? Yes. Would it be easy? No.

This would truly be cutting off their noses to spite their faces.

Also, they face some level of legal difficulty in leaving the ACC, not really to the level of FSU/Clemson, but its not nothing either. The grant of rights issue does not apply to football for Notre Dame, but it does all other sports. That's not the same level of financial liability that football is, but it's not chump change either. Also, as part of its contract with the ACC, Notre Dame - if it chooses to join another conference in football - must join the ACC until the contract expires in 2036.

What conference is going to offer them the sweetheart deal that the ACC will? I keep seeing they can just go back to the Big East, but the Big East does not play football. Ok you've got most of your other sports taken care of, but now instead of having 5 locked in games for football with the ACC, you don't have any. Oh, right, you're Notre Dame and everyone would walk across broken glass to play you right? Not so fast my friend.

I hope the rest of the college football world is paying attention to all of this. Realize your fan bases do not care about Notre Dame and simply refuse to schedule them. I'd rather play 12 SEC games than schedule those clowns ever again.

Would still make more sense than Notre Dame

We already have one boujee blue blood in Texas but at least they’re in the south and we already have a midwestern school in Mizzou. ND adds nothing to the SEC.

I don’t see them joining a conference anyway, they want to have their cake and eat it too by being loosely affiliated with a conference and having the NBC deal.
