That could happen, but if ND bolts, the eastern Catholics might opt for this: PC, St. John's, SH, Temple, GT, UMass, DU, X, UD. 9 teams works well. Richmond, ODU, and Bona makes for a nice 12 team league. (NT) -- duq81, Monday, November 29, 07:48:52pm

Never ever going to happen for a zillion reasons, one among them being the PC issues of forming a Catholic league (NT) -- Alan, Monday, November 29, 08:10:05pm

I was told by a Bishop that the Catholic universities are Catholic in name only. Fordham took crucifixes out of the classrooms to make it more comfortable for non-Catholic students. Georgetown took down a carving of IHS when the President spoke there. Rick Majerus at St. Louis is much in favor of partial birth abortions. Most Catholic university presidents couldn't care less about Catholic doctrine. Money is the goal, always has been and always will be. Notre Dame is the exception to all this. Fathers Hesburg and Joyce have been pretty tough. (NT) -- Bilgy, Tuesday, November 30, 10:12:26am
- No school makes more money or cares more about making money than Notre Dame. Why do you think it has remained independent all these years? So it can keep all of its TV revenues to itself. (NT) -- El Duque, Tuesday, November 30, 07:45:04pm
  - NBC is getting a raw deal. (NT) -- Alan, Tuesday, November 30, 08:26:56pm
