“If Notre Dame makes a move, it is going to tip this ant hill over,” Finebaum said Tuesday on Mac Attack via WFNZ radio in Charlotte, North Carolina. “And right now, Notre Dame is trying to figure it out. They’re in Vegas with pots of money on three or four different tables. The pot of money to stay an independent is obvious — it’s not great, by the way. They can make a lot of money with NBC and have their ridiculous and cozy relationship with the ACC. They can join the ACC, or they have two other choices. And this is when you go into the private rooms at the Bellagio, and not out there with scum like us. This is the SEC or the Big Ten — should they choose either one of them, they’re hitting the lottery. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime, it’s a once-in-a-generation opportunity. It’s my opinion the Big Ten and the SEC wants Notre Dame badly. When Notre Dame makes a decision, everything else happens.”

This could be true.  Things sit in limbo for a while until ND does something.  Obviously this doesn't include the B12 who will be looking hard at western additions.

Are they saying that to each other?

Yup. Apparently Sections O and P have an extremely bitter rivalry. Makes an EPL derby looks like chicken scratch.

I just don't imagine ND joining the SEC

it's either independence with a hook to the ACC, or Big Ten

and I'm sure Finebaum doesn't like it

Money talks, but the SEC would seem like a strange place for the Domers.  I don't think the ACC would work either.  That leaves one conference or Indy, I think not Indy longer term, maybe 2-3-4 years.  They have a series with Stanford of course (and USC).

I'm sure the SEC is pursuing Notre Dame, they'd be crazy not to.  But I don't see it ever happening.

Never thought Texas would go to the SEC. But here we are.

Texas was a bit of a stretch

Notre Dame would be a huge stretch

there would have to be a much larger money discrepancy over the Big Ten, it's certainly not large enough now.

Texas has a LOT more in common with the SEC than does ND, a huge amount more.  ND has rarely played any SEC teams outside bowl games.

Their usual "rivals" are the Academies, USC, Stanford, Michigan, Purdue ...

I did.  After the realignment round of 2011, I thought it was inevitable, and I said it here many times.  The B12 was never going to be able to provide enough resources for Texas to keep up with the B1G and the SEC.  That's just a financial truism.  And with two of Texas' traditional rivals already in the SEC, plus the geographical continuity, there really wasn't ever any other option that would make sense.

And I also predicted OU would come alongside Texas.

In two years it's going to be around $60M/year difference between ND's various deals, and what the B1G will be paying members.  That could be compelling.

I always thought the B1G was a better fit for Texas. But there was that "Tech problem" we all heard about.
