Notre Dame might go...but what is in it for them? They get 5 ACC games annually, Stanford, USC, Navy. 8 annual games there. Plus another marquee matchup against a big name (currently have Michigan, UGA, TAMU, Alabama, Ohio State, Wisconsin) lined up. This year appears to prove an elite season by them gets them into the CFP so...why give that up? They've turned down the B1G multiple times in the past. I'd expect ND to end up full-time ACC before going B1G. And if ND goes ACC, I can't imagine North Carolina or Virginia leaving.

Nick Saban loses coordinators all the time. Brian Kelly loses coordinators all the time. They go to G5 schools sometimes. Nothing wrong with a dude wanting to shoot his shot as a head coach.

If you make the playoffs, there is plenty of opportunities to win those games. You'd like to be in a position where a loss to UND doesn't cause teams to tumble.

If the list of teams is a whopping one team in the last decade, it doesn't really matter. It should be a fairly common(annual) occurrence.

Brian Kelly has been a boss everywhere he has been, and had recently been successful at Notre Dame. Can Bubba say the same?

I think it's a couple weeks before the playoffs, not sure exactly when it is.

I'd guess NDSU gets a new stadium at some point before UND. FargoDome isis filled up consistently, etc. UND gets 60-80% capacity for a big home game. In a really nice venue, no less. I doubt either one gets a new stadium anytime soon. I'm 26 and would put money down that neither of these events happen before I'm 50. Once you move indoors, it's tough to go back outside, and there isn't the ticket demand at either school require a sizable increase.

Dang.... 3-2 Duluth with 2:55 to go.

ND gives up a short handed goal. Saw that one coming. Yuck. 2-2

Irish up 2-1.

All tied up! best fight song in sports!

Go Irish! Taking the time to watch tonight.

The only year I was in Grand Forks during the current rendition of the Ralph was the natty season, I saw Wiscosin, Colorado College, and Huntsville there. The latter two the building probably had at least a couple thousand empty seats. Wisconsin...can't say, don't remember much from that night other than UND won. Can't imagine it's easy to fill up a building that size every night. No judgement from me.

Notre Dame winning a natty this year...ya heard it hear first.

I thought he got his facts from the Torah.

Right? With all the serious D-I schools out in the western time zones.

.....mhm.

Elon has many jewish kids? Can somebody say Shemitah or Jubilee?!?!?!?!?!?!

Not really. I was on vacation and it got extended by a full week. Providence and New York City have been lit.

There is like 3 or 4 contenders.

Is it?

The only schools that brag about women's athletics are UConn and the U of Minnesota. What do these schools have in common?

Hahahahahahahaha wait...you serious?

I don't think NDSU really can cut any sports.
