Who gives a shite anymore. The actual geographical logistics mean dick now. Its solely about money, success in the big 2 sports (most importantly football see money above) and anyone arguing for the sake of the southeast is wasting breath at this point.

Going forward into super conferences, actually having programs that have serious pull mean a lot. And no one gets special treatment like ND. That being said, I couldn’t care less whoever joins at this point. The geographical boundaries clearly mean nothing now.

Regionality still means a lot for the smaller sports, basically anything not named football. (I’d argue even Men’s Basketball)

Keeping travel costs down leads to the already large payouts going way further, and fields much more competitive teams in the sports nobody really cares about like the Olympic sports or softball or whatever.

Notre Dame brings a lot to the table but I don’t think they add enough eyeballs to offset the regional disruption they would cause. Besides any of that I don’t see why they would want to hitch their wagon to us over the B1G to begin with, they just seem like that type of university

As to geographic boundaries meaning nothing, just look at how many players are transferring simply because they don't want all that travel.its unfair to the players.
