50 million Catholics follow ND.
ND has its own TV contract.

Sure, they are no better than UTk, ie, a shadow of their former greatness, but 50 million Catholics follow them.

The discussion in this thread has gotten into culture and tradition, something we may care about --> but not driving the superconference/playoff/market battles.

Mike Slive (and CBS/ABCESPN) care about brand and market reach and TV ratings/$$$.

Also, does UTa, OU, FSU and ND in the same conference not affect the power conferences' respective TV deal$ down the line...
