Hockey is about as relevant as fuck-all, so I'm not sure why you bothered typing about it.
Rivalries.....hmmmm....rivalries.  If only there was a way for a team to schedule whoever they wanted to play for 1/3 of their season.  Hmmm.
Damn, I got nothing.
.
WAIT!  I GOT IT!  Non-conference games!!!  Oh shit!  ND has no conference rivals it'd be leaving, as it's not in a conference!!!  It could play Stanford and USC and Navy whenever it wanted!  And Purdue!  Michigan!  MSU! 
Sweet!  It's a non-issue.  FANTASTIC!

What do you think happens when conferences go to 20 teams?  Will the conference schedules expand?  The answer to that riddle is....YES.  Then you have to consider whether teams will want to schedule other high end P5 opponents with their two or three non-con games.  Hell....the SEC is still scheduling FCS teams towards the backend of the year as a faux bye week.  But yeah....Notre Dame is going to schedule USC and Michigan to go along with a ten game SEC schedule.  Or....they could simply play their rivals as part of the conference....which would make a ton more sense.

Also....just because you've never seen ice and cannot fathom how hockey works doesn't mean that the rest of the country doesn't care about it at all.

lol....come back to reality.

They are going to maintain all six of those annual OOC rivalries? Is the SEC going to dial it back to just six conference games again?

I feel like the next argument will be that rivalries really don't matter.  :34:

They can schedule whoever they want OOC.  That's the point.
Back to the point, I don't recall suggesting ND is likely to join the SEC.  I merely put it as a choice to vote on.  
But it has to turn into a whole big argument.  You're arguing a ghost.

I suspected that you didn't actually think that Notre Dame was going to the SEC.

No one bothered asking which option I voted for, did they?

I was simply trying to give you the benefit of the doubt in hopes that you weren't actually THAT dumb. But you are a pretty big SEC honk, so there was still a slim possibility that you had actually talked yourself into it.

Now I do think it would be a shrewd coup of sorts for the SEC to grab ND and UNC......I think that would be an ultimate trump card, but of course it's highly unlikely.

and if that happened, you would blame the SEC for the end of college football as we have known it?

I'd look at it like the little brother overstepping his bounds, grabbing USC/UCLA and the big brother saying, "okay, you want to play THAT game?"

The SEC grabbing the two most powerful Big 12 programs....and thus decimating an entire conference is cool.  The Big Ten doing something similar is "overstepping his bounds".

If you didn't have double standards....I'm guessing you wouldn't have standards at all.

It's all about footprint and the status quo.  The SEC didn't do anything radical compared to what had already previously happened.
What the B1G just did cannot be described as such.  You guys are in full-blown denial mode right now.
