Spoke with a leadership committee member who is in with Swarbrick and Fathe John. He knows what has been discussed. He said no one but the President, AD and Exec VP know what is happening. So I am skeptical of any source.
ND does NOT want to be in the B10, but money, access and teams to play may dictate what they do. My guess is they end up in the B10 and I think ND knows it but they will push off. There is zero percent chance ND goes to the SEC. ND is more tied to Stanford than others think, academics.
Short story, I am skeptical on any sources ND related. I do think they go to the B10 at some point but any negotiations with the B10 are not for inside sources to know.
