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.

The SEC and BIG would laugh us out of the room if we proposed being able to take their bowl games in exchange for a few games a year. Those two entities are likely bigger than ND at this point. They don't need us. Sure they'd like to have us but they clearly don't need us to get big contracts, eye balls for their TV partners, etc.
So at the end of the day, we'd be left trying to cut deals with the Pac 12 and Big 12. Are either of those more palatable to you than the ACC? Maybe they would be but it seems to be both are basically the ACC in terms of quality of opponents, etc.
