No, they are doing EXACTLY what I have been saying-on this forum and others-that Bama should be doing. And that is look to the Pac10 for single home games that do not require a return visit to them. As of 2007 the Pac10 is playing a 9 game round robin conference schedule. This means that EACH year there are 5 of their teams that have 5 conference home games. With the exception of SC, any of those teams will be happy to come to Tuscaloosa, cash a big check, and not require a return game.

I am saying that ND is doing exactly what Bama should be doing with Pac-10 teams. And that is schedule single games with Pac-10 teams instead of playin Western Carolina and Western Kentucky.
Oh my gawd, get over the ESPN conspiracy. This has nothing to do with bias, it has to do with television ratings. Only two things will get Notre Dame on the Bama schedule:
1. Bama must overwhelm its competition and make two consecutive BCS bids, proving to the media outside the SEC that we are a serious NC contender, or
2. Eight million people move to Birmingham in the next 24 months.
I don't know. Any time Notre Dame steps into the SEC to play, it draws viewers and not just in the Alabama and the Midwest market either. Their home and home with Tennessee was one of the most watched games of their respective seasons. An Alabama-ND home and home would be a viewer boondoggle for both NBC and CBS or ESPN. I don't think that will be the case if Wash St or Oregon VS ND were on TV.
Yes it will take some time. ND has so much going on, they don't even know what's going on. Even their AD said he didn't know when the Big East commitment ended. We could play them in Dublin, Ireland sometime in the future as Navy is doing in 2012.
I agree 252Bama, we should start paying PAC-10 to come here to play instead of playing D-II teams. That way the media couldn't screw us over by saying we defeated weaker teams because apparently they think USC plays a hard schedule.
Give me Notre Dame and all the PAC-10 nothings anyday over the likes of LSU, Aubie, and UT (by the way, I do realize that we will always play these teams each year).
