Paul Wadlington made an interesting observation on his latest EGAT podcast. (He apparently wrote an article about it on IT if you have a subscription). His point was that not only was Notre Dame not in the top 10 programs of viewership for their games (where Texas was #2) but of the top 50 rated games this year, Notre Dame played in of them. Even their game against Pitt where Gameday went to the Pitt campus didn’t crack the top 50, and neither did their traditional blue blood game against USC. 
 

If the Big 10 and SEC stop scheduling them, what value do they bring to networks and at what point does NBC cancel/fail to renew that exclusive contract?

How about the ACC?

Why should the ACC do a thing for ND when ND does nothing for them other than try to fuck over a direct member?

Hear hear. I've always kind of rolled my eyes at ND because of the special treatment they get, but this behavior has just pushed me into full fuck that program forever mode and they can get fucked and be excluded every year as far as I'm concerned until they decide to play by the same rules as everyone else.

i’ve hated Notre Dame since 1966 when that punk ass Ara Parseghian ran out the clock and kicked a field goal to tie Michigan State, and claim a national championship.

My dad explained the arrogance and hypocritical mindset that was Notre Dame, demanding to be treated special.  They were special, in a way.  Nobody else had an army of Catholic priests telling high school recruits that they had to go to Notre Dame and support their religion.  

Notre Dame intentionally playing for a tie sums up the essence of Notre Dame football.

One of my office-mates in grad school was a guy named Claude Something, a Notre Dame graduate. Claude admitted he knew only two things abut Notre Dame football: (1) Notre Dame always had the best team in the country, which was only denied by anti-catholic enviers; (2) Notre Dame players were the only football players who had to take a pay cut when they went Pro.

It seems plausible that some of his family post on Surly Horns.
