Michigan State, Purdue, Boston College, Pitt, Army, Air Force, Miami etc. is not a weaker schedule than the remaining Big 12 schools. Notre Dame would by no means have a tougher schedule, especially if they got placed in a north division where they would have to play WVU, Iowa State, Kansas State and Kansas... every... single... year...


Well, I completely disagree with your assessment that Big 12 teams like the Oklahoma and Texas teams, West Virginia, and K-State on a good year are no better than Pitt, Purdue, BC, Army, Air Force. That's nonsense.

And, if the Big 12 went back to two divisions, North and South, then Notre Dame should jump at the chance to play in the North because they'd virtually be guaranteed to contend for a Big 12 Championship each year...which is what may happen with the college playoff scenario - Conference champions.

Dude, this is closer to reality than what you believe.

So let's assume Louisville joins the Big 12 to give the North 6 teams, 9 game schedule, 3 OOC games.

A Notre Dame schedule :

Every year

WVU
Louisville
Kansas State
Kansas
Iowa State

Alternate
OU
tu
OSU
Baylor
Tech
TCU

Who are there 3 OOC games?

USC
Michigan
Purdue?


So you're telling me that Notre Dame is really close to willingly lock itself in to a schedule where it gives up Navy, Stanford, Michigan State, Pitt, Miami and BC wtc for all of eternity, just for a chance to win a "conference title"? That in a playoff format where the top 4 teams are going to go regardless of conference affiliation, that Notre Dame really really really wants to get an easy route to the Big 12 Title game instead by playing in Aimes, Manhattan(not the NY one), Lawrence, and Morgantown every year?

Dude, this is closer to reality than Alabama leaving the SEC, but neither are close to reality.
