Forget Notre Dame

I want Notre Dame to join the Big Ten. It makes sense for them to join the Big Ten. However, I can't take much more of their arrogance and I think its time that the Big Ten give them an ultimatum. I am not much for ultimatums, but I just can't take it anymore. For some reason Notre Dame thinks that it is better than every other school and that they can do what they want. The fact is though, college football has changed. Notre Dame hasn't won a title since 1988, that's 22 years. They have won only two in the last 36 years. Florida, USC, Oklahoma, Miami and Nebraska have all won three or more in that time. Florida State, Penn St and LSU have all won two. Miami has won five since 1983 actually, Notre Dame has won one, in 1988.

All of this shows that college football has changed, and Notre Dame is not what it once was. This is why I can't stand their arrogance. They are not the super power they once were. Sure the Big Ten would be lucky to have them in the conference, but they can't let Notre Dame call the shots. Its time for Jim Delaney and the Big Ten to tell Notre Dame they can either be in or out. If Brian Kelly and Captain Jack Sparrow or Swarick or whatever his name is love being independent, fine, then live with it when you are getting steam rolled by the big conferences. They can play in the Big East/ACC or whatever becomes of the conferences once the Big Ten and SEC are done picking their schools. Or they can stand alone and watch from the inside out as a tournament comes around. I don't want the Big Ten to go to 14 teams if Notre Dame isn't ready, then we have a chance of losing the last team we want. Its time to go big or go home. Otherwise we are going to end up with Iowa State or something, and the SEC is going to end with a team like Georgia Tech or Clemson as their worst addition.

Its time to chose. Enough dicking around Jim Delaney. Make them choose, they can go to the prom with the King, or they can go with the tuba player. Its their choice.
