This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

ND would be a great culture fit by irishrock

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.
