We've recently put to bed two longstanding myths that deserved to die:
- ND is independent for the money
- ND can no longer attract top talent
Both dead! And deservedly so. Yet all along we heard the same, tired reasons for both myths, and they persisted.
This myth is no different. The same regurgitated and narrow-minded excuses are trotted out time and time again. Big Bad Conference X won't want to play poor little Notre Dame, so ND will have to join! Idiotic, short-sighted bullshit.
The idea that ND - no matter what happens with any conference or the CFP - could not put together a competitive schedule is simply ludicrous. If one is to believe this myth, they necessarily must ignore our national following, our brand, our influence, our viewership and our history. The idea that any conference or entity would willingly preclude the possibility of playing ND is not rational.
This myth will die just like the others.
This is yet another myth that needs to die
