Let me know your thoughts.
Notre Dame can help the leftover power 5 teams keep up. I thought of an idea that Notre Dame may go for that doesn't involve joining the BIG suck or the SEC. Take the ACC, Big 12, and PAC 12 leftovers and create a 3rd megaconference with divisions. It could warrant big TV$ from Apple or Amazon.
The Irish would be included in a national division of private schools where they can play in Cali, Texas, Fla, and the Eastern seaboard routinely (9 conference division games). Add USC to the Irish schedule too out of conference, along with a couple of other out of conference opponents here and there.
