This was prompted by the thread about OU/UW going to the B1G.

What if B1G/SEC teams just never played ND in the future?  Informal unwritten rule.  Bowl games excepted.

I believe USC has stated that their rivalry with the Irish will continue. Ditto for Navy.   And a semi-independent Notre Dame will find other teams to fill their non-ACC slate such as Purdue, 2024-2028, and Michigan 2033 and 2034.  The question is if their revenue will be competitive or not.  I'm thinking it won't be enough.

the question of the thread was......... what if USC, Michigan, and Purdue refused to schedule ND going forward??

it's not an outlandish thought

So we're talking about the mid to late 2030s?  The space aliens will be running things then so all bets are off.

Ok.  There are enough decent non-B1G teams out there for the independent Irish to fill a schedule.  So, I would just expect ND to throw the B1G the middle finger. Again.

see, that's what causes the Big, as a conference, to ban members from scheduling the Irish.

the Irish middle finger gets old and the new commish wants to make a name for himself

to what end? to f-over nd? to force their hand into joining a conference?

i can see them trying to force them into a conference if/when the p5 break away and form nfl-lite.

i don't see them doing it after the changes and just leaving nd out.

Sure, but they won't play those four each and every year.  And FSU and Clemson MIGHT not end up able to play ND.

Some of both, I think, either they join the party and share the revenues, or get cut out completely.

Clemson, FSU, Miami, UNC, Duke, Wake Forest, BYU, Stanford, Navy, Army, Air Force, MAC teams...there's enough to put together a respectable schedule if blackballed by the B1G and SEC.  And the Irish would probably be fine with adding more home non-P5 games.  Might even be smarter.  I mean, the B1G is turning into a meat grinder.
