We were great in 70s hoops started to tail off in 80s as big east and other conferences got revved up and by the 90s were irrelevant til joined big east. Could not recruit elite and still really can’t but in 70s recruiting was awesome. In football in the 70s and 80s into early 90s plenty of independents MIAMI FSU PSU Pitt I think even South Carolina. As all the independents have left us standing virtually alone do you think we may have to rethink conference?
Conference membership isn't going to bring more 5 stars to ND.
But they should really try to work the colors of Emancipation angle with elite Southern prospects. Blue & Gold baby!
