The History of Notre Dame vs Big Ten Conference

EXCLUSIVE PATREON VIDEO
2007 YEAR IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL
/ wrongedsports
Why hasn't Notre Dame joined the Big Ten Conference yet? Maybe why hasn't the Big Ten Conference and a certain Michigan coach blocked Notre Dame from joining, is the better question. And that is what I'll be covering on this next video as the Big Ten Conference kicks off their first season with 18 TEAMS! And teams from the WEST COAST!

That Michigan coach sounds like the biggest hater

[@daveporter0217]

Notre Dame is in the Big Ten for ice hockey, but that seems to be a marriage of convenience, as most conferences don't sanction the sport.

[@Lcngopher]

Thats only because penn state decided in 2010 to make their mens and womens ice hockey teams ncaa d1 teams in 2012 so then the big ten would have enough teams to guarantee one team in the tournament. The conference then started to sponsor the sport, killing the ccha in the process, of which notre dame was a member. Also, i dont think the acc sponsors ice hockey so its the best choice they have

[@jmed412]

Nor do many schools sponsor the sport

[@Lcngopher]

@@jmed412 true. Mostly sponsored by northern universities

[@nikolascinicola9660]

@@Lcngopheronly hockey conference that sponsors any sport besides hockey is the Big Ten. Kinda crazy. Every other hockey conference sponsors hockey and hockey only

[@penguinsfan251]

That is because of the Big Ten's core geography. The Northeast did not have big land grant universities. So, Harvard, Yale, Boston College, Boston University, Maine, etc. formed a hockey conference. Penn State upgraded to scholarship hockey from club hockey due to the Pegula family. At the time, only Mercyhurst played DI hockey in PA. Ohio State, Michigan, Wisconsin, Michigan State and Minnesota have long established hockey programs. I think Illinois started one. The Indiana schools, Iowa and the new additions don't have varsity hockey.

[@nathanschuller1659]

lol !! Michigan’s offensive strategy under Yost was to punt on early downs 😅 brilliant.. that’s the guy I want to listen to when it comes to making decisions concerning my football program

[@WrongedSports]

In Yost's defense, he was coaching before the forward pass was used and punts were used as the best way to move the ball down the field. You punt and hope the other team fumbles or something else that helps you. But he was annoying towards notre dame for 40 years

[@KornPop96]

So being shady is a long standing tradition at Michigan.

[@michaelcline3896]

I wouldn’t mind if Notre Dame joins the Big Ten! Even if they join them or not! I’ll always enjoy Notre Dame football!

[@WMCheerman]

Great work

[@zvbx]

Notre Dame can truly be made a football independent by not scheduling them.

[@baronvonslambert]

They get to pretty much choose their own schedule and dictate the difficulty of their seasons while also getting to make sure they're always on TV and radio in the biggest markets for that sweet sweet media money.

[@a.j.wilkes6352]

I, for one, like that Notre Dame has harbored a century old grudge for the Anti-Catholic views of the Big Ten universities.

[@JJDSports2012]

A couple of the Big Ten schools - Purdue and Mich State - ignored Yost and scheduled the Irish anyway; Michigan State in the 19teens and early 20s and Purdue throughout the 20s and early 30s. But, to your point, it’s why Notre dame continues to schedule those two schools, off and on: ND remembers.

[@awookieandagerman]

Loved the history here. A lot I didn’t know. I always heard Michigan was very prejudiced against Notre Dame for being Catholic and that was a big factor in their hatred of us. As for continued independence, our recently retired Athletic Director I think put it like this: so long as there’s still a clear path to the playoffs, and we can still schedule our biggest rivalry games (USC, Stanford, and Navy), Notre Dame will remain independent. It’s also worth noting that Notre Dame’s exclusive NBC deal does indeed make a ton of money for the school, and that tv football money pays for every other sport at ND to exist, many of which we also have excellent programs in (I believe our fencing team is regularly #1 in the nation for instance). So if there were ever a serious money issue with being independent, and joining a conference would clear that up, I guarantee we’d jump right in, just to keep the other sports afloat.

[@michaelmerck7576]

That 1946 notre dame national championship team didnt play the undefeated Georgia Bulldogs who had Frank Sinkwick Charley Trippi,Mac Mc whorter ,Preston Riddlehuber at quaterback who went on to be a nfl football offensive guru

[@KornPop96]

The fact that they used to just vote on national champions is crazy, and the fact there were two different votes is insane. How it took them so long to figure out how to get #1 and #2 to play is equally insane.

[@michaelmerck7576]

@KornPop96 unfortunately the southern teams were not integrated at the time so the northern powers often refused to play them but the southern schools only have themselves to blame for that

[@KornPop96]

@@michaelmerck7576 you do know they integrated 60 years ago, right? Besides that didn't really have anything to do with the voting since they were still doing it over 30 years after integration and southern teams were playing northern teams every Saturday. It had way more to do with bowl game obligations than your little virtue signal here. 😂

[@michaelmerck7576]

@KornPop96 in 1946 the South was definitely not integrated .you must not have seen I was talking about 1946 national championship

[@michaelmerck7576]

@KornPop96 are you truly that ignorant. 1946 was the year in question and I know the state of Georgia was not integrated especially at the university level and yes that was the reason hardly any team from the Deep South won a national championship

[@mikebronicki8264]

When you look up the definition of arrogant, all you get is the Michigan "M'.

[@cactusjack3338]

It makes more sense than ever before for norte dame to join the big 10

[@SwedMsu]

If the state of Michigan had never stepped in to Force Michigan to stop blocking Michigan State from joining the Big Ten would Notre Dame and Michigan State have formed their own conference together?

[@WrongedSports]

There was an idea for the airplane conference in the 1950s the service academies would be apart of it too. I've got a video all about it

[@AvrilAlvarez]

They need to kick out the pac-12 teams out of the BiG 10 and replace them with Notre Dame

[@inflameswetrust2194]

Why? Including those teams makes the big ten a coast to coast conference with numerous TV markets to exploit.

[@johnsquire8169]

They also need to kick out Rutgers and Universally of Maryland. And keep the Big Ten a Midwest conference. As long time. Michigan fan. I would love to see the renewal of Old Rivalry.

[@TerryDunlevy]

ND has no desire at all to give up football independence, especially to join the damned Big Ten.

[@johnsquire8169]

​@@TerryDunlevy Fair enough. I would like to see the Michigan VS Nortre Dame rivalry renewed. 9 times out 10 it's a fun game to watch and.

[@kevinnicholson2335]

Classic Michigan tactics. 😂 But in all seriousness Notre Dame is so proud of their independent status they won’t join a conference unless all Power 4 schools repeat tactics mentioned here a century ago. An all out ban of their members from playing ND until they join a conference will ND swallow their pride and finally join up. With the recent Big10 and SEC “truce” could happen very soon or never at all. Time will tell. Interesting watch. Thanks OP!

[@snarkmark2806]

Back in the day,there were very few bowl games, so few teams were invited. When you went to a bowl game, you had to split your $$$ share with all of the teams in your conference. Notre Dame didn’t, because they were independent. So, greed. Notre Dame didn’t want to split their bowl shares.

[@TerryDunlevy]

Notre Dame voluntarily refused to play in bowl games from 1925 until 1969. Try again with another bullshit theory.

[@robert48044]

Checks from NBC, plain and simple.

@scalesjim12 If that was true they would have joined one. That may have changed and they will join one but business is business. Notre Dam football doesn't fund Notre Dam

[@scalesjim12]

@@monorail4252 it is true, it’s an objective fact. The NBC deal does not pay as much as conference membership. ND, as an institution, just cares enough about remaining independent to overcome making less money.

@michaelmerck7576 no, the MSU and U of M rivalry was discontinued by ND and the Big Ten is constantly asking them to join in the modern era.

[@user-ne6gp4gn6x]

just think if the big ten would of let them in back in the 1930s or 40s the big might have won more rose bowls than they lost

[@michaelhannell4083]

They will get an automatic bid if they go undefeated. If they go undefeated while everybody else is playing their conference championship game nd will essentially get a bye week before the first round if they arent in the top 4 so it doesnt really matter

No reason to. They can remain an independent. They can play several Big 10 teams every year. The rivalry with Purdue and Northwestern should be on the schedule every year with UM and MSU.
