Notre Dame remaining independent

[Soonermagik]

Sorry, I don't have a link, but I heard it on college football live last night. I've heard so many guys say if Notre Dame doesn't go to the Big 10 then they would push hard for Nebraska and Missouri. I really believe this has been the hold up. If Notre Dame had said yes I don't think Nebraska or Missouri gets an official invite.

This may be the key that gets everything rolling. If Nebraska and Missouri do bolt then Texas and OU can't sit idle. This whole thing has been a waiting game to see what others schools are going to do. It will be very interesting to see what is said by the "supposed deadline".

Screw the Domeheads! I knew this was all their fault! I hope they have perfect seasons for another decade (0-11). I've taken an informal survey of Big 10 alums (4 people) in my office and they are all totally opposed to expansion.
