It doesn't suprise me they are afraid of joining a conference. If they joined they would have to share revenue and the Catholic church needs all the money they can get to pay off all these lawsuits. Also ND would more than likely have at least 3 loses a year, more than likely won't get them a BCS game. There is always the Humanitarian Bowl.

Oh come on. That's just nuts.

I don't think anyone ever said they were afraid of joining a conference.
You need to get over your ND envy. It's kind of getting a little tiring. We all know they are bad this year. Your team has gone through some tough years. In fact, I bet you were one of the people who wanted Joe Pah out.
Everyone but ND fans are going crazy over their pathetic showing this year.
I hope Notre Dames non-supporters are loving it. I'm just weathering the storm and hope for improvements. In the meantime good luck with you lawsuit. I hope it works out OK.

This is exactly what I like to see. 3 to 4 losses is perfect. Nothing more or less. I just want them to do well enough for South Bend, not for the over-zealous people that think this school is the almighty untouchables.
