I get the money component, but it would be nice if BIG schools wouldn't schedule these clowns.

ND will never be forced to join a league if schools like wis ,MSU,mich,Purdue,USC and ill keep them afloat by scheduling them.

The commish should lean on them.

And its in the B1G's best interest. Making them part of the league would eliminate them as an outsider getting an auto bid like they're getting now. Still with their TV contract, and that bid every year they're in the cat bird seat.

Not sure what the issue is here. It is split across three networks, so the choice selections were already planned with Fox garnering the first three picks based on the amount of money they bid.
