How do you think ND will fare as a program without playing BIG teams on a regular basis? I know they play OSU in like 2021, but there is a long void in there.
I believe it will hurt them and being so far removed from the ACC and I just dont see that replacing their competion from the Midwest in the BIG and their recruiting base. It's nice to have guys from everywhere on your roster, but in my mind they need the Midwest. Guys from Metro Chicago arent going to get excited about beating UNC and Wake Forrest and their ilk.
