Notre Dame looks like it will be the next major domino in the ongoing saga that is another wave of conference realignment in college football. But one of the biggest questions is whether or not it will be a domino that will fall. More specifically, do the Fighting Irish want to join a conference? Do they even need to join a conference? In today's college football, Notre Dame still stands on one of the most solid foundations as a storied brand, one of the most recognizable in the sport. Ducks Dis...

Duck fans and Pac-12 fans alike didn't get any answers today as they await their college football future. There were some reports that the Big Ten has zeroed in on adding Notre Dame, a major money maker in the sport, but a school that has functioned as an independent. If Notre Dame does in fact join the Big Ten, you'd figure the conference would want to bring in another big school to pair with that, which is where Oregon could find themselves coming into play. Or, if Notre Dame doesn't join, Ore...
