Most ND people think you are dead wrong on that
Wasn't Nebraska a national brand ?
Is Penn State still as powerful and successful in the Big Ten as it was as an independent?
Its not.
ND has to recruit nationally.
ND believes that conference membership will diminish, not enhance that.
How do you think that ND became a national brand?
It was by playing all over the country, not being confined in a conference.
ND has no natural or local recruiting base, unlike most every other school.
If it is playing exclusively in the Southeast, that will impact recruiting nationally.
It will slowly decline into irrelevance as a conference member, but hey, the guys who love a collective 4x16 symmetry and all ND haters will be happy, right?
Why do you think ND fights so hard for independence?
