He has ties in that region and currently faces the same challenge when it comes to recruiting well despite academic demands. Yes ND is still obviously a higher profile program than Stanford (unlike places like Florida, OU, and LSU).

and he would be nuts to say no… but damn, I hope he stays in Fort Worth.

He will go put on a good face, as one day he will want good reviews once he is ready to go somewhere…

And then he will say no, and for now be a Horned Frog

the TV contract work if they joined a conference? Seems like they’d be in danger of losing some of that money. And how would their chances of going to the BCS improve if they joined a conference? They already have the easiest road to the BCS of any school, with their own set of watered down requirements, and if they need to make their schedule easier or harder, it’s within their power. They have to either let dumber kids into school or find a terrific head coach. I think that’s all it boils down to.

I don’t see how joining a conference changes that.

And there always going to be one of the first teams selected for a BCS game if they qualify, simple as that. You seem to forget that they made two in Weis’s first two years.

So if what you’re getting at is that the school is prejudice, please go take your immature argument elsewhere.

I kinda hopped off ND’s bandwagon this year and I’m rooting for TCU. Until next year, then it’s back on ND’s again.
