Your last line was the most important, ND is losing leverage to define what


is inevitable.

Their Independence is in name only and not substantive. The thing that Notre Dame does that most if not all cannot do is recruit nationally. Who else can recruit from San Diego to Boston, from Miami to Seattle and everything in between. They need a national schedule to keep doing that, Indiana and even Chicago is not enough for them.

Their real differentiator is their ability to be a national school for football. They need to never ever let that go, but this not really Independence is now way more of a liability than an asset. You may lose some donors, but some others will start stepping up when you when more Championships!
