The vast majority of ND fans also feel that way. They gain nothing from full conference membership and they stand to lose much more. Basically, they are a currently a conference unto themselves, equal to any of the others. The recent BCS meeting proved that.

That is why an Orange bowl deal with them is the way to go. ND verses the ACC champ in most years will be a big game.

I suspect that is the way most of their fans think.
