They also were convinced it would be dollar pickles at gomers boneyard cageFWIW......a majority on UConn message board (Boneyard) seem to think the B12 move is happening.

I don’t know the answer but really ? They couldn’t make their own schedule ? I don’t know the answer I’m asking
again I'm totally Naive. ND needs a conference for a bowl invite ? What if they just played a great schedule ?It is not about ND putting together a regular season schedule, it is about bowl tie ins.
The various non BCS bowls have contracts with the different conferences.
For example the Pinstripe Bowl has contracted with the B1G and the ACC from which its participating teams come from. The Pinstripe will not invite a team that is not a member of the loose 2 conferences.
The majority of Bowls have t conference tie ins which makes it hard for an independent to play post season.

There are only 4 bowl games worth watching (Rose, Orange, Cotton and Sugar). The other 15 are the equivalent of the NIT in college basketball,.again I'm totally Naive. ND needs a conference for a bowl invite ? What if they just played a great schedule ?

you guys understand it better than meThere are only 4 bowl games worth watching (Rose, Orange, Cotton and Sugar). The other 15 are the equivalent of the NIT in college basketball,.
The only Bowl games worth are the semi finals and finals of the college playoff. Those rotate amongst the Bowl games.There are only 4 bowl games worth watching (Rose, Orange, Cotton and Sugar). The other 15 are the equivalent of the NIT in college basketball,.
From what I have read and heard (I am a huge college football fan), under the new system that begins in the 2024 season, it will be a 12-team playoff format which will be made up of six highest ranked conference champions, plus the six highest-ranked teams who aren't among the conference champions. The top four conference champions will receive a first round bye.Bowl games may become a thing of the past as the NCAA has adopted the playoff model. The pool is going to expand. I question if it will be to eight or 16 teams - six won't cut it.
I think it was e.e. cummingsI edited my comments just you!
However, here is a PSA to my fans:
The rocket man does not follow grammatical rules. I subscribe to the free form verse style made popular by other great poets like E.E. Cummings, William Faulkner Alan Ginzberg.
In fact, should Uconn leave, I will HOWL in celebration
Notre Dame is truly America’s Team when it comes to football . They have such a widespread and loyal fan base that it makes other Schools PALE in comparison .again I'm totally Naive. ND needs a conference for a bowl invite ? What if they just played a great schedule ?
This is the Post of the Day ! Yes , a full Giants Stadium for a 12 noon game and a full MSG for a 7 pm BB game vs????? ND!Hell yeah! Visions of us filling Giants Stadium with our new football team!
You get partial creditI think it was e.e. cummings
If it was a Jay Wright coached team, I’d probably have them in the top 4 and ahead of us. I don’t think Neptune is bad, but it’s definitely more of a question mark.Nova Top 5 group looking as strong as a typical nova team. Moore and Dixon top notch nova players and the three transfers bring a lot. And before anyone brings up the fact Ware hasn’t shown much, we all know he would be being talked up plenty if he were coming here.
Top 7 BE schools all have the talent to finish top 3 IMO. I’ve got Gtown outside of that group, admittedly not as up to date on who came and went for them.
Pretty sure I read that Georgetown has recruited even more 4 stars than we have and I’ve seen us credited with as many as 6 overall. Given that fact and with Cooley as coach would probably include them in that group.Nova Top 5 group looking as strong as a typical nova team.

Could be. I’ll have to look closer. First thought was two 5Th year guys as good as Soriano and Dingle puts us ahead of them.Pretty sure I read that Georgetown has recruited even more 4 stars than we have and I’ve seen us credited with as many as 6 overall.

Notre Dame is truly America’s Team when it comes to football . They have such a widespread and loyal fan base that it makes other Schools PALE in comparison .
As such , I agree ND has a list of teams that would want to play them , regardless of whether they were in a Conference or not .
As for Bowl Games , if the Irish had such a powerful team and were unbeaten , no Bowl Game or even the Playoff Bowls would dare to exclude them . ND has that kind of clout in Football .
Unlike most other College Football Powers ,they are the only one with a National Fan Base . It’s why they have that NBC Contract .
In my opinion , ND could even revert back to its Independent status , if they dug their heels in enough . Does anyone think USC , Stanford , Vanderbilt , Duke , Michigan , Michigan State , BC would give up playing them ? Never !
As to what that could mean for the Irish rejoining the BE in BB , I have no idea .
I used the word Pale in the first sentence . No doubt mjmaher might reach for one, given such a Incentive .
