[NU Sports] Pac 10 to invite 6 Big XII schools to join?

[Roy S. Lamberton]

The NU distain for the Evil Empire (N*** D***) goes back to when we played them regularly
and got walloped by them regularly.

I always joked that we played ND at (then) Dyche my first year at NU (1972). They got off
the bus, then the linemen picked up the bus and shook the equipment out.

That game was over in the first 5 minutes as the Irish rolled on to another win over the
then hapless Cats.

In recent years, we probably would have beaten ND at home - too bad we don't still have
that series going.

I must be the dull knife in the set, since I don't understand the sexiness
of Notre Dame for the Big Ten.  It would be the smallest school.  It shares
more academically with the SEC than the Big Ten (five of my HS classmates
went there - and my HS is in Virginia).  It would be the only school that
claims to be religious.  It would stick out like a sore thumb.  Getting the
football cachet doesn't explain it for me.
