Found this to be a pretty interesting article. Maybe shed some insight into these conference realignments

Thanks for posting this, pretty interesting stuff here. I was just wondering last night what
teams the Big Ten should approach. Obviously Notre Dame would be a great fit but I don't
see them getting over themselves, they better be careful though or they'll be left out of a
mega conference and be screwed. I think Missouri is a natural fit. Kansas would not be a
bad choice. I think it is too late now but Pitt would have been a decent addition. It will
be interesting to see how things unfold.

If ND doesn't join a "mega-conference" how would they be in any worse of a position than they are right now? People will still want to schedule them, they'd still have a huge fanbase, and they'd still be on TV.

ND doesn't need to jump on any of these bandwagons unless the right fit opens up for them.

I guess they wouldn't necessarily be screwed but they aren't able to win the way they schedule now,
maybe a conference would help. Just seems like a natural fit for the Big Ten to me.

I would assume ND could still schedule games. I guess the bigger question is that with people potentially moving to a 9 game conference schedule and only 3 non-conference, are there going to be enough schools that WANT to schedule anything other than a creampuff for their non-conference schedule? The concern is enough to worry some ND supporters.

Is ND's other sports staying put in the Big East as far as we know?

Big Ten claims they do not want to bring in schools that would lower the educational standards.
