This. It was apparent to them when LSU killed them in the Sugar Bowl that they didn't want anything to do with top SEC teams.
The schedules for the last 3 years were already made when LSU beat ND in the Sugar Bowl. ND only has a finite number of games that are not on the schedule every year. Even though they are not in a conference, they still have teams that they play every year. Some are the Academy schools and now that looks a little ridiculous, but it's tradition. AND, ND was playing the Academy schools when they were the best. This along with the fact that virtually everyone wants to play ND means they can't satisfy everyone.
SEC doesn't need ND, but ND certainly doesn't need SEC either. They got mad ephen money that no school in the SEC can touch, so it's never about money for them.

Any SEC team would beat the living shite out of Notre Dame. Why would they want to play any of us?

If I'm not mistaken, each SEC team gets 13 mill per year whereas ND gets 9 mill per year for tv contracts.

Once they beat all the service academies in one year then they might consider taking on the almighty......... Mississippi State.

It's not the SEC, it's Notre Lame, who doesn't want any part of the SEC. They go to great lengths to dodge the country's most powerful conference.

SEC schools should not appear to be begging or asking ND to play them. ND has their numbers.
It's just hard to any team to get into ND's schedule though when you consider they have traditional rivalry games against Purdue, Michigan State, Michigan, USC, and the service academies. Most years 5-6 of their games are traditional rivalry games. Plus they play Pitt and Boston College with some regularity. And every school wants to play ND. So in some years 8 games are allready set and the other 4 games go to the highest bidders who can offer money, prestige, and neutral sites.

You care about Notre Dame? I know here in Mississippi, no one gives a shite about them. We don't need that nonsense.
