Don't let Sharrone Moore's crazy, perverted *** take away from how the Irish are still the biggest crybaby ******* in all of CFB.

Notre Dame learned that the side chick is always second fiddle.

Does their philosophy department not teach logic? That was of my favorite classes I took in undergrad at UM.

I want in to the B12. I think it’s on the rise and we’d be treated way more fairly there than the other conferences, even if we could get in the B1G and SEC

Completely agree.

Who agrees to the MOU? there's no way way the CFP committee agreed to it, unilaterally, without the ADs? At LEAST the B1G and SEC AD's had to approve it?

Regardless of how you feel about nd being left out that MOU hits the entire cfb like a bag of bricks.

Nd isn’t making friends by getting preferential treatment via the reported details in that MOU.

I like what Yormack is doing and wish he was our commissioner. But It's headed for P2 and everyone sees it. They hold all the power.

At first, when this was initially broached, I was “no way, rinky- dink conference“ but now (and with the ascendancy of TTU that could go far in the playoffs) I’m starting to come around a little bit.

I see what you’re saying. I’m not totally sold yet. I lean more towards the other two, but still… you have my attention. The concept of Miami/TTU/Notre Dame in that conference is an interesting one.

Gues who they played in that one top 20 game?

Reps from each conference.

I explained in this post the other day.

The CFP can make its own decisions without getting conference approval as to what schools or conferences get favorable standing? Wtf is going on here?

If so, Phillips needs to get his own MOU ready for the ACC's benefit.

Let me back up.

The CFP is governed by the CFP Management Committee, which includes the 10 conference commissioners and ND's AD.

The SEC and Big 10, in the spring, threatened to split and create their own postseason if they weren't given control and allowed to run roughshod over...

3-0 against Notre Dame, Florida State, and Florida

All 3 programs in absolute SHAMBLES

Funny - I thought the same. I think it was on this board (over a year ago) when some poster mentioned we'd be better served moving to the B12. I recall scoffing at that thinking zero chance. Now? I'm more onboard.

What’s funny/sad about this is that the ACC should have a leg up against the b12 with the brands it has (Miami/FSU/Clemson/UNC).

But the ACCs leadership has done such a p*ss poor job that the b12 actually feels like the stronger conference.

Just poach Yormack from the Big12 and bring him to the ACC. Problem solved!

I agreed with your point - if those teams bailed on their agreements to play, ND would have no choice but to join a conference. But I wouldn’t go as far as saying they'd be "****ed”. Being forced into the Big Ten or SEC isn’t exactly a punishment. Two of your own conference members filed lawsuits trying to get this exact kind of “punishment.”

Well, duh - those two teams are not currently in the power2, nor do they have a sweetheart deal with their own media company and another conference that subsidizes all of their non-rev sports. Getting into the BiG would be an obvious boon for any current (full member) ACC team - is that true for Our Lady? I don't know. What is notre dame without its NBC deal and independence? With your 3 titles since leather helmets went the way of the dodo - the last one (stolen from us, by the way) having come before half the country was even born. You are like the drive-in movie theater or cigarettes - successful and popular when my 86-year-old grandpa was a teenager.

So, yes, ****ed - in the sense that you will no longer be able to wield that golden independence shield that you all so love and cherish. Besides, once the super league hits, you'll just be one of the other 24 members of the BIG North conference - forced to actually share your ball and play with all of the poverty teams that you've looked down on for a century.

And - please please please blow up your ACC deal. First and foremost, our baseball team has no business being snowed out of a weekend series in late March. Second, not only would that likely facilitate our move to one of the two majors, but without the 5-6 acc games you are gifted a year, there is no way you have a competent schedule. Because it's when, not if, 2/3 of those games get canned. At least for the ACC/SEC teams that will have 9 conference games and already have a yearly crossover. As Cali said, there is a 0.0% chance the gator ever plays in South Bend. So, you'll get to play your Purdues and your Navys and your Boston Colleges... just like every other year, but instead of USC, Pitt and Miami, you'll get UNLV, Marshall and FIU.

Have fun on the couch next week.
