So, it will stay the same until 2025


Who cares? This is the long game, not short term.

Lets try it again then. I am okay with that. Again, nobody "dupes" entities at this level.

I have a question. Did Virginia Tech "dupe" the Big East when it left in 2003?

Explain to me how that move was a win/win for both the Big East and VT?

How was that a demonstration of "partnership" and "mutual respect" between the Big East and VT?

That all seems to have gone out the window when it clashed with VT's self perceived best interests at the time.

I am not condemning VT for the move, just illustrating that those lofty ideals always fall to self interest.

Everyone looks out for their best interests.

Like I said, it is just business, negotiation and leverage.

They drop conference affiliation and change membership constantly if they think it advantageous.

Hell, that is the sole reason this board exists.

Everyone does it, not just ND.

The only difference is that ND thinks independence is in its best interests versus joining and changing football conferences.
