The money ND gets from NBC has nothing to do with it. If ND joined a conference they would get make more. Right now they make 9 million/year from NBC, teams in the Big 10 make somewhere around 12 million dollars a year. ND doesn't want to join because they would have to eliminate their traditional games with USC, UCLA, Army & Navy.

I'm probably one of the biggest ND haters I know but I agree with them in that regard.

As for the 12th team in the Big 10 I don't know if it's going to happen anytime soon. I bet people are worried about the domino effect like what happened with the ACC expanding.
