The arrogance of these low-lives is never surprising.  It is good to see them start to slowly twist in the wind.  Sounds like they are afraid that the television pie is going to be split, and they might be 'left behind'.  Oh, what a terrible thing that would be.

Always quick to want to separate from others when it suited their purposes, the worthless tools from South Bend are now whining/crying:

"What if a few conferences further distinguish themselves from the field? What are the competitive ramifications of that?"

Those conferences are distinguishing themselves from the field because they had a vision, and took the initiative to get it done.  ND expects now (and has always expected) to have everything handed to them because of who they are.  It is a great thing to see them becoming less and less relevant with each passing season.

Swarbrick also whines:

"The bar has been set so high, and the [current] media market is so tepid, that it creates a lot of tension."

By tepid, does he mean that his private network just lost a couple hundred million dollars on the Winter Olympics, and has settled back in to their comfortable role as the 4th place network ?

The coach says "it is great" to play teams "from all over the country."  Doesn't he really mean lousy, non-competitive teams from all over the country ?

Finally Swarbrick adds "we're trying like heck to maintain our football independence. It's good for college football."  No, Jack, it's good for you.  The rest of the college football world has moved along without your useless program. If you want to stay independent, be prepared for even more separation between the 'haves' (Big Ten, SEC), and your pathetic program.


I hope Swarbrick and Co. come begging this time on bended knee, and Delaney tells them to go to hell.
