What's this?

The "moral grounds" is an interesting position for Notre Dame to take

given the principles the school was founded on. Then again, the position Notre Dame has taken WRT the football program raises a whole bunch of philosophical discussions/debates given that Notre Dame was founded as a religious school. As Spok might say/ask, "The needs of the 1 outweigh the needs of the many?"

Whether Notre Dame (more specifically the people in decision making roles) are making the right or wrong decision, I cannot say. Honestly, I don't believe it is my place to pass judgment on whatever decision Notre Dame makes on this issue. Instead I leave that responsibility to a higher power to make at some point in the future. At least I'm assuming that the entire Notre Dame leadership believes that each one of them will be judged when they die.

Has anybody really done the math? -- PaNDalum 01/25/2022 4:17PM

Great questions, I would love to know the answers. ** -- Stech 01/25/2022 8:30PM

Tech plays Notre Dame more than every football team in the ACC Atlantic... -- Old Line Hokie 01/25/2022 7:21PM

They are just another football team. -- RTFC 01/26/2022 8:26PM

ND isn't going to join a G5 conference. It will be the B1X -- EDGEMAN 01/26/2022 07:14AM

Even if the Big Ten and SEC decide to treat the all athletes as employees? ** -- VTHokie2000 01/26/2022 8:41PM

Exactly, though I can see the SEC and B1G doing that and ND -- RTFC 01/26/2022 9:37PM

So, God doesn't like football independents? -- TerryD 01/27/2022 3:59PM

I can't say what God does or doesn't like. Plus, I wouldn't assume -- VTHokie2000 01/27/2022 10:09PM

Really thorough post... ** -- goldendomer 01/27/2022 11:12PM

Thanks. Like I have noted in a previous post, I don't have a problem -- VTHokie2000 01/27/2022 11:48PM

Side-note, our endowment leapt 7 billion that past year. -- goldendomer 01/28/2022 10:11AM

Yes, I would agree with you that large of an endowment is insane -- VTHokie2000 01/28/2022 10:21AM

The points you make are a struggle for me personally. -- goldendomer 01/28/2022 10:12AM

I agree with the competing interest, we all have them, but usually survival -- Stech 01/28/2022 07:37AM

I doubt ND would want the auto bid by adding Navy plus one -- TerryD 01/28/2022 12:20PM

You don't want any of this, I get it. As far as VT and ACC yes we would -- Stech 01/29/2022 11:01AM

It would merely cause more anti-ND resentment... -- TerryD 01/29/2022 11:58AM

ACC wants to play you more, would be a move in the right direction for ACC. -- Stech 01/29/2022 12:10PM

The Catholic church has fought communism since it was unleashed on the -- goldendomer 01/27/2022 1:12PM

And yet Notre Dame made the decision to join a conference for all -- VTHokie2000 01/27/2022 10:21PM

Special dispensation- :) ** -- goldendomer 01/27/2022 11:10PM

Interesting choice of words :-) ** -- VTHokie2000 01/27/2022 11:14PM

Agree with all of that, precisely my point. ** -- RTFC 01/26/2022 10:08PM

The math is a guess. In general it would add more games -- goldendomer 01/25/2022 7:04PM

ACC would also get whatever the updated market value is -- daveinop 01/27/2022 2:45PM

I feel like ESPN/ABC picking up that SEC piece from CBS and adding OU/TU -- reestuart 01/25/2022 4:54PM

No ACC product to the ACC Network and RSN -- Mercury 01/25/2022 5:35PM

Yep. If the Big Ten doesn't move completely from ESPN/ABC, even the noon -- reestuart 01/25/2022 5:39PM
