As long as ND has a way to get into the playoff, and can continue to make decent money, they will not join a conference. But it's silly to say that the B10 has any leverage over ND. They are ND, and are above being forced to move, they will decide what is best for them, not the B10, ACC nor the SEC. Dollars influence USC and UCLA, but that will not work with ND. They are in the driver's seat and they know it, if they told the B10 they wanted in ASAP, full partner, no buy in, the league would come crawling to make the deal.
