I was at a Creighton event in KC where a guy told the President during a q&a session, "the Missouri Valley is going to be reaching out and making Creighton an offer they can't refuse"

The President respectfully said, "they're invited to Omaha anytime, but we are in a league with Villanova, Georgetown, Xavier, Marquette...et al...and we like being "friends" with these schools with excellent academic reputations"

I can't imagine what the Presidents of the schools would do if they could get ND into the league. Notre Dame, Georgetown, Villanova...three excellent schools with a number of other schools with very good (albeit not elite like ND) academic credentials. Would ND rather "hang" with Duke, UNC, Clemson, Virginia (okay, they're top notch) or with the Big East schools...I can imagine the President and the AD having differences of opinion.

We all know that ND is staying in the ACC, but they'd be a neat fit in the Big East. They'd matter more, for sure.
