One way or the other, he’s walking away with ND in his conference. Does ND really think he’s bluffing on option #2?

Maybe it just comes down to school politics. The ND admin’s know that it’s best to be the 12th team, but they can’t look like they caved to the Big-10’s demands so they will have to be drug into the league kicking and screaming.
There's option 3, which is you expand to 14 and keep the door open for Notre Dame in the future.
