It is unhappy to be killing these nationwide rivalries (their largest rival) of 65 years. Dig deeper and it is a part of the B1G making an attempt to power ND to affix them. Everybody else desires in. Not ND. You have gone to 9 convention video games, add interconference video games with the SEC and who’re ND’s massive recreation opponents left to meet their impartial NBC contract? No B1G or SEC program will play ND as their twelfth recreation. That is why ND asks for and will get video games in opposition to the ACC’s prime 3 packages yearly, then indicators a ten 12 months Clemson contract. When these 3 packages transfer on to the evil Large 2, ND is out of choices. They will not fulfill that contract with what’s left within the ACC, Large 12 and the opposite conferences. They’re lastly compelled to affix and be like the remainder of us within the new minor league faculty soccer league. As a very long time faculty soccer fan, all of it sickens me. To look at faculty soccer final season with no Pac 10, 12 was a pitiful nationwide embarrassment. As a university soccer fan, I’ve been fortunate sufficient to have attended video games throughout the nation over time. Nice rivalry video games in nice stadiums only for the love of the sport. From the 100,000+ seat stadiums to the Toledo’s, Kent State’s, Tulane’s for the love of the sport. Simply pathetic!
