re: Why doesn't ND enter a conference?

Back when they were still relevant year in and year out they inked a huge contract with NBC.
Moneywise, it was more than they could make in any conference.
Since then the BCS drastically increased the bowl payouts and ESPN drastically increased the tv payouts.
Back with the first NBC contract, I think it was a sound decision. It was not a sound decision when NBC renewed the contract with a much weaker Notre Dame.
If the next coach fails to bring Dame back to prominence, I think they will look at moving to a conference. Also depends what NBC does when the tv contract comes up for renewal.
