Podcast: Conference Collision Course? Notre Dame’s Independence Being Threatened
Notre Dame football’s independence status feels like it’s in a perilous state at the moment with conference realignment potentially sending the Irish on a collision course with either the B1G or ACC in the near future. We talked at length about the pros and cons of each and how we think this all plays out. We also dove into the commit-a-palooza that happened last week.
- Greg has a rational take on which conference he’d prefer (if forced into one) while Frank’s rationale is a whole lot pettier
- How surprised we both were with the suddenness of USC & UCLA’s move
- Why we don’t like where all this is headed
- Notre Dame’s five massive commitments in six days
- Some bad news on the recruiting front re: Jason Moore and Richard Young
- A multiple QB system in 2022 or nah?
- Lots of Q&A

Brady Quinn On What It Would Take for Notre Dame to Join a Conference
If Notre Dame were actually “independent”, it wouldn’t have set aside all its principles and quietly tolerated all of the destructive, money-grubbing boolshit that has gone on in college football for the past couple of decades.
Nore Dame went along with all of it every step of the waty, and kept taking a good chunk of the loot.
So what is the extent of this vaunted ‘indepoendence’ ? ND picks its opponents. Like a teenage girl making a party invitation list.
