Than as an independent for one reason alone: inventory.

As an independent, NBC has access to only seven ND games per year, six home games plus the Shamrock Series game. By contrast, if ND joined the Big Ten, the Big Ten TV deal would cover all ND games except for road OOC games, so 10-11 games per year. From the networks' standpoint, 10-11 games per year has to be worth more than seven games per year (I understand NBC doesn't get the whole Big Ten package).

Yes, but we’re sharing that 10-11 game revenue with others. - tdiddy07 2022-09-20 10:37:11
