Should Notre Dame Be Allowed To remain independent in College Football?

ND is not our problem.

I don't see the issue with ND's scheduling and remaining independent? It's not like they lost to Northern Southern Illinois and made the National Championship or anything.

I wrongly attributed the mighty Salukis to Northern Illinois instead of Southern Illinois. horns96 regrets the error.

ND is overrated so often now. This isn't the college football of older days anymore. Get in a conference and earn your spot in the playoffs.

It is if ND gets a playoff berth and Texas loses a berth despite having a stronger SOS…

ND, by being independent now has the easiest path to CFP because of the 12 team scheme (and maybe 16 team scheme)

Don't see how you can make them join a conference. The selection rules for the next CFP agreement need to stipulate that there will be a strong SOS component like they have for baseball and basketball.

Odd timing given they were just in the national title game.
