Had a Wisconsin alum ask me why ND doesn’t join the B1G.

He fully understands that Michigan sucks. But he doesn’t know or understand the history between ND and the Big Ten, even after I explained it. The way he sees it, this is modern times and it would be better for ND to join the real world and do what is geographically and financially sensible - join. He has a point in one sense, but has no clue as to the depth of the emotional recoil that exists at such a thought. After all, we have standards!
It did make me wonder, though, why we never play Wisconsin. I would have thougjt that Barry Alvarez would have initiated something along those lines but I guess not.
