I think it was the BTAA that I remember hearing about and that there was a lot of chatter that the faculty felt it would be great for ND. And I think I recall Fr. Malloy saying that this (the BTAA and the faculty's view on it) would play a significant role in the university's decision about whether to join the Big 10. Obviously, it wasn't a big enough factor.

That said, it was publicly a factor in 2003, and yet I have not heard or read one word about the academic side of things in all that I've read or heard about ND potentially joining a conference. I'm just assuming that the Big 10 schools would prove to be a better academic resource than the SEC schools, and, I'd guess, the ACC.

Shouldn't this be a factor that ND considers in the overall mix?
