[NU Sports] NU/ND renew football rivalry - just announced

They might be "down" this year, but who knows what their status will be in  
2014. NU also would be provided exposure to those Notre Dame followers 
outside  of the Mid-west who don't even know where Northwestern is.

If we read message from a few months back posters then made them  out to 
be the lowest of the low. Now we are almost fainting to be playing  them.

I still say NO Big Ten ten (NU included) should play ND until it  joins 
the Big Ten or another conference and gives up its NBC  schedule.
