That has been a high priority goal....
....for ND for at least the past thirty years.
ND doesn't like people trying to force it into an arrangement that it is trying very hard to avoid.
The alumni would consider it a surrender like Bataan. Whoever agrees with that will lose their jobs, certainly.
IF there are only two super conferences and a breakaway in ten years or so, ND has to decide whether to opt out of "big time" pay for play (athletes as university employees) and play at a different level (which Swarbrick and Jenkins repeatedly said they would) or join the Big Ten in full in a breakaway for $90 million a year or so (or more by then).
Unless and until then, ND will staunchly remain a football independent.
