Because times and kids change...


If you think the millennials playing the game today are close to the same as the kids from the past few decades, you are mistaken. Also, outside of the SEC, conference championship games are still a relatively new phenomenon that would give a team like Notre Dame a lot to play for other than "pride". Look no further than VT this season, IMO. Not close to a top team in the country, but October/November should be really interesting and fun for VT fans because of the Coastal division.

I honest don't really care all that much what Notre Dame does. I hate the deal that they have with the ACC, but also get that it was probably necessary for the ACC. Just being a realist, I think there are lots of Notre Dame fans that aren't necessarily 100% pro-independence. And I think that the number of ND fans who are die-hard "independents" will dwindle as time moves on.
