Notre Dame joining the BIG

Looks like another dagger to the heart of the Big East again with another departure from the conference.....

Looks like the 16 team Super Conference is gonna happen now......With the Big goin to 13 teams now, I bet they don't stop ther, but continue to add 3 more teams before it's all said and done...... Notre Dame just couldn't pass up that big $$$ from the TV contract the BIG has now.....

It was only a matter of time.... and MONEY!! Being a Purdue alum I still hate Notre Dame.

How does this help ND?? Being an independent in football for so long with their rich tradition, I don't see where they needed to be in a conference in football. The basketball side of it is marginal at best and if you are trying to say the Big 12 is heads and above the BE in basketball you are smoking crack. You have one of the most overrated basketball conference in all of roundball...

Good lord man, just how many teams have to leave the BE before you say the Conference is not gonna be so High and Mighty as the BE followers say it is.....

Let's see now:

Pittsburh
Syracuse
WVA
Notre Dame... There name alone spells TV deal big time, take them from the BE and again the BE don't look so good again.....Not to mention their Academic standards and results will take away from the BE.....

Not to mention the only reason U of L got into the BE in the first place was to make up for the loss of Boston College and Miami.....

Yep, Power House Conference now for sure, with Houston, SMU, UCF and Boise State added to make up for the ship jumper's.......

But go ahead and keep foolin yourself into believeing that the BE is (THE ) Conference that you want to belong to...

Where did I say the BE was a power conference in football?

Houston has been better the last couple of years than your scrub Longsheep, LMAO

Also if Louisville gets in the Big 12, it vastly improves their football status, but up until the departures of some schools it would have been a major step DOWN on the basketball side of the equation.

You tickle me man....our record in Football over the past 10 years is 88-27 with our worst record being 5-5-1 over this time period.....Your killin me man...Houston plays wimp teams like you guys do in your OCC schedule and yes they have had a somewhat better record than us the past 2 years.... But when you play teams from the Big 12 at least 7 to 8 games per year and no slouch teams in your OCC schedule like we do. Then you can brag about your record, unlike Houston has done with the teams they played over the past 2 years.....

I hope you do join the Big 12 with us and we stomp that arse in a mud hole everytime we play you, along with all the other butt stompin's your gonna get from the other schools in the Big 12.....
