What did south bend offer in the late 20's when they went independent?

I'm the early years of independence for Notre dame, they tried three different times to join a conference. But we're turned down due to thier faith.

Does that sound familiar?

As much as we've improved and things are looking up, without a P-5 conference

And it was in the Bowl Alliance just before 1996 as well...

It was clearly a top 6 bowl. The BCA was only 3 bowls. The Rose wasn't in it either.

All very true, but I'm talking since independence

These are fair points. They are also not very consistent with what we're hearing
