I'm almost arrogant enough to think they don't want the competition of similar brands but that seems a bit far fetched. Any ideas?
Speaking from the vantage point of having been at ND for a number of football games over the past decade+, I think they view any school that doesn’t play D-1A football as small potatoes. I’d need to research this, but I don’t think they’ve played DePaul or Marquette since the breakup of the football-centric BE earlier this decade, and Chicago and Milwaukee are closer to South Bend than Dayton is, and they’re decidedly more “big time” as cities, too. Why doesn’t ND play all of their old “Great Independent” rivals from the ‘80s? I believe it’s because bowl-eligible football drives that bus.
