Nice response. I do understand a lot of the


points you made and they do have validity. I love the idea of independence and everything that comes along with that whole "imagine". But like you said it has been squandered over the last 30 years. The thought I struggle with is the whole independence label. Independence died in a big way for me when the ACC started dictating almost half our schedule. But yet, I hang on to the illusion of independence. Those four games (USC, Navy, Stanford are locks) where we have freedom of choice still looms large.

ND would survive and likely thrive as a full member of the ACC. But like you stated the mega donors will revolt and so it seems highly unlikely.

I do not know if you post on NDnation but they would burn you at the stake for your hearsay.. :)

Another edit- I agree our admin would have joined already if given the opportunity.
