It would be nice to see ND join the Big 10 but its never going to happen. Theres one reason for this. Money. ND has an exclusive TV deal with NBC and not to mention the bowl money. Normally the bowl money would be split evenly throughout the conference just like in the SEC. ND keeps all the money from there bowl and this year that will be 10,000,000 +++. Not sure on excact amount. The Priest at ND like there $.
