    Maybe if they weren't so inconsistent, and could actually field a BCS team again their ratings would be up. Notre Dame being in a conference makes no sense either unless it's the Big Ten where they have rivals.

      Exactly. This is why B12 makes no sense. At the end of the day, ND needs ratings and it gets better ratings when it plays more relevant games.

      What would get better ratings: ND v. UM, OSU, UI, UW, MSU, NU against
      ND vs. UT, OU, OSU, TTU, TCU?

      In order of relevance, I'd say ND goes B10 first, then ACC and B12 is a very distant third

            I also don't think that Notre Dame will give up the Navy game. That game has been played since the 1920's. I think there is an agreement that goes back to World War 2 where Navy helped ND out and because of this, ND has promised Navy to play them every year in football.

              I guess they were paying too much to invite the Samford's and Jacksonville State's to their schools.

                                Are these emails for real?

                                This one from Loftin to Boren kills me:

                                David:

                                You will notice the total absence of Texas from the broadcast schedule. ESPN is setting it up so that all their games fall through for the LHN.
