would not have any challenging competition if ND returned to the Big East.

ND requires a conference affiliation with universities that have competitive programs in the non-revenue sports. This is the problem ND solved by affiliating with the ACC. (Of course, UCONN was an exception while ND was in the Big East -- but other sports suffered from lack of competition in the Big East.)

I hear you and understand

I know ND is excellent at lacrosse. Not sure about baseball.

As I understand it, Creighton's women's sports are pretty good, but don't know how they'd stack up against a school like ND. (basketball, volleyball, and soccer) (I only know about Creighton as I just had a daughter graduate from there last year and have another daughter who will be a frosh there next year)

They are shaping up to be very good at baseball. *
