Notre Dame "very close" to joining Big12

...all sports besides football of course. According to my sources this will likely be wrapped up in the next 30-45 days. Will play somewhere between three and four B12 football teams a year, asap. Texas and ND likely to schedule annual games for a bigger piece of the pie than other teams get.

Can the B12 survive 2 sweetheart deals?

Not a bad move but i would have preferred the ACC. Big East will be toast soon.

I heard they were close to joining the ACC. If ND isn't going to go "all in" to join the Big 12, I don't want them.

Must have heard wrong, or your "sources" are shit.

I dont think the B12 or ND care if you want them.

I think more big name teams should be independent....why share what you've earned on your own....survival of the fittest.

The trouble is ND won't go anywhere without being given control of everything and handed sizeable advantages over the rest of their conference. Personally I was hoping they would stay independent and suck themselves into mediocrity. We've already got one prima donna in this conference (Texas) we don't need another.
