Reasons like this is exactly why no one should want in the Big East

and why its ran by assinine idiots. (redundant.. I know)
According to the Big East by laws, Notre Dame, who does not play football in the conference can be selected to replace a football team in a bowl game. That in itself sucks, but most college football fans knew of this. What most dont is this..
Taken directly from the Conference Governance LINK
Why the f**k should Notre Lame have ANY say so in football. Just another reason teams should want out instead of in.

On Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) matters, the Conference’s position will be determined by a vote of the
eight BIG EAST institutions that are members of The BIG EAST Football Conference and Notre Dame (nine
total votes).

because we have a contract with your bum conference to play 18 games vs. BE schools from 2011 to 2016.

Institutionalizes them as well a bit. I mean their conference has all but collapsed now, but I have to think they did it to try to help convince ND to join their conference in football in the future.
Worth a shot..

South Florida.. a team from that bum conference beat your teams over rated asses.

LOl.. Notre Dame is 4-6 against Big East teams since 2004. Whats that say? (No games against WVU I might add)

Probably because Notre Dame believes in the burning bush NOT the burning couch.

notre dame has been largely mediocre for the past decades (no one is arguing otherwise); your information is not groundbreaking.
i simply answered your Q and as it stands now, despite our suckitude, we STILL have a STRONGER national identity than your ENTIRE conference.
that makes me laugh out loud bro.

The Big East would die without Notre Dame's role, that's why (I mean, it even looks like it could die WITH ND, which is saying a lot).

Because they're pretty much in your conference.

Saying the Big East is bad at football is like saying the sky is blue.
Saying the ACC improved its football standing by adding Pitt and Cuse is like saying the sky is green.
WVU has held their own in their pitiful conference...but they do have national recognition (16th in merchandise sales and has been ranked at one point or another in 20 of its last 24 seasons).
SEC and Big 12 have the best conferences hands down (still hope for WVU in either...may need to wait 2 years)
ACC is way overrated...
BIG and PAC 12 aren't very good top to bottom either (until Ohio State and USC are allowed to cheat again).
CAN ANYONE NAME ANOTHER SCHOOL THAT IS AS SUCCESSFUL IN BOTH FOOTBALL AND BASKETBALL AS WVU??? (I know there are a few but I challenge you to consider)...and when I mean successful I mean BCS appearance and Final Four appearance.
P.S. I know quality of athletic programs have nothing to do with conference expansion...hence Texas A&M

How many of Notre Dame's agreed to games vs Big East schools are on the road?

By contract ND was required to try to play 4 games vs Big East teams.
in return ND gets to play as BIG EAST in hoops, and all sports except Hockey, in which they are in a midwestern Hockey league.
So they are sort of in the Big East, generally and even football wise.
They get a BiG east football bowl game as noted, and they play Pitt and UCONN and are supposed to get up to 4 by and by.

BC moved to the ACC on them.
Air Force and NAVY are threatening to join the Big East.
