Notre Dame's Big Ten Move: Finebaum's Prediction
•
Notre Dames exclusion from the College Football Playoff and subsequent decision to skip bowl season has ignited discussions about their conference affiliation, particularly with the ACC. Sports analyst Paul Finebaum suggests that if Notre Dame were to join a conference, the Big Ten would be the most suitable choice due to geographical proximity and potential TV viewership boost. Finebaum believes the ACC may eventually let Notre Dame go, clearing the path for a potential partnership with either the Big Ten or the Southeastern Conference. However, he feels the Big Ten is the best fit, even for a partial schedule, as networks like Fox would be eager to broadcast games featuring Notre Dame against Big Ten powerhouses. The situation is further complicated by Notre Dames full membership in the ACC for other sports, adding another layer of intrigue to the evolving landscape of college athletics.
