I'm with MBBF on this one. Notre Dame won't be the 12th team in the Big 10. They might be the 14th or the 16th, but not the 12th. The only way it makes sense for them to forgo their independence and join the Big 10 is if enough movement happens first where they feel a strong enough threat (by not having a home for their non-football sports or by having a major obstacle put in place to reaching a BCS game). Notre Dame just won't be the first domino to fall...their big money guys are too inherently opposed to losing their independence.
