The SEC didn’t take any of UT’s nonsense, and it would not likely be inclined to give us any special privileges.

Still way better than the Big 10 in every football related sense.

I think the SEC kind of likes ND. Most SEC alums I meet

are serious about FB and respect ND's tradition. I was working with some UGA consultants the last couple years and they were so enamored of coming to ND for a game. It was a huge deal for them - not unlike some of the ACC schools like Clemson.

And has been discussed in the BR in the past, the South's incursions into the Midwest for HS seniors of an academic nature is serious. Clemson, UGA, Alabama, LSU, UNC, Ga Tech, UVA, Va Tech, FSU, UF, South Carolina, Vandy, Wake Forest...even Tennessee and Kentucky, have growing representation in Chicago surburban HS graduating classes.

ND needs to continue to establish a geographical footprint in the South beacause that is the direction of the Midwest's gravitational pull.





Older alums, yes.

Younger SEC alumni have one universal perspective on traditional powers outside the south: “This isn’t 1940 anymore, y’all! What’s your record since 2006??? Wooo, yeeehawwww!”

I fear that’s the way their perspective is more broadly shifting.
