The true beauty of this plan is that it relegates Notre Dame to Harlem Globetrotters status - big crowds, but their games don't really count.
No — I left room for a couple of at-larges to accommodate independents and the best of the minor conferences. But the major conferences would only get one team, which would push them to dismantle their divisional structures and return to round robin play, which is what conferences should be all about.
Nobody puts Notre Dame in the corner.
They would likely join the ACC for football in such a scenario. They are already in that conference for other sports.
