This might be blasphemous. But I wouldn't mind seeing ND in the SEC and possible the BIG 10. I liek the idea of a conference as long as the conference is strong. Weak conferences wouldn't destroy ND. And ND should retain the ability to pull out of the conference if the conference strenght did not meet ND standards. Just think, ND having to compete in a strong conference like the SEC would force it to play the top notch teams that are winning NC. It goes back to my lets make ND's schedule a little tougher argument.
If ND was in the SEC they would have to play LSU, Auburn, FLorida, Georgia, Arkansas, and Tenn. Maybe not in the same season. But we'd be playing them. In the BIG 10, they have MU, MSU, Penn St. Wisconsin, and OSU. Five teams that ND can play in one season and do well.
Then again, don't fix something if it isn't broken...
