It's about time we do something about Notre Dame

There should be no independent teams. Everyone needs to be on the same playing field.

The conferences aren't even playing on the same field. I don't know why it's a big deal that Notre Dame is independent. The reason teams like Penn State and Miami joined conferences didn't have anything to do with integrity or fairness, it was because it made them more money.

There is no such thing as a level playing field. There are strong conferences, weak conferences, independents, conferences with championship games, conferences without championship games, teams that play strong non-cons, teams that play weak non-cons, etc.
