I was sort of surprised to see this announcement.  There was some sort of
disclaimer about that from an official at ND (don't remember who, but it
was on the front page of the sports section in McPaper) that that news may
be a bit premature.
 
I couldn't really see HE going after Notre Dame.  They're not a very big draw
and the travel costs for HE teams would probably quadruple and then some to
have to come to South Bend on a regular basis.
 
What really should be interesting is the ramifications in "orangeball" if this
is true.  With the addition of West Virginia and Rutgers effective next year,
the Beast will be up to 12.  ND makes a baker's dozen.  Wonder if anybody might
be on their way out (PC, the Hall, the Johnnies?).
