ND no longer carries the clout they once did. We saw that this year when they were snubbed from the playoffs. Also with so many streaming platforms NBC no longer has the leverage it once did. ND was able to sit at the table when the big 3 controlled CFB on TV. The previous relationship with ND and NBC is losing its luster and will continue to do so now that ND is heading down a path where conferences are going to stop scheduling them and the ratings will continue to drop as they are currently doing.

ND will end up in a conference or become another G6 team looking for games.

Leaving the SEC would be suicide

Go and look at the television ratings of the most watched games in college football. Even after Saban left, Alabama ends up in the top 20 most watched games every year. The football and basketball teams would be fine and I think all other sports are about to undergo major upheaval anyway.

You have to read the tea leaves on this. When there’s just a mega conference or 2 mega conferences do you think the Olympic sports and unprofitable sports are going to survive as they are currently constructed?

This is ridiculous, Bama built the SEC and will never leave.

Has Greg Sankey received that memo? Maybe someone should tell him.
