Irish returning to Rockne barnstorming era


SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) -- Notre Dame's decision to schedule a game each season at neutral sites starting in 2009 is an attempt to return the school to its independent roots, athletic director Kevin White said Tuesday.

White said the goal is to travel to different parts of the country and ensure that the only school with a national television contract remains a nationwide school. He said it would help with recruiting and give more Fighting Irish fans a chance to see the team play.

Division I football will go to a 12-game schedule for all schools beginning this season.

"I think over time we've really begun to behave like a wannabe conference member," White said. "I think it was real important for us to go back to our roots and behave more like an independent -- go back to the coach Rockne barnstorming era if you will."

The game is a sign that Notre Dame is moving further away from possibly affiliating with a conference, White said.

He said the games aren't truly neutral-site games, but home contests played away from South Bend. They will not be against what White described as "heavyweights."

"We have enough heavyweights on the schedule," he said. "We need to have a schedule that's conducive to success."

He said the university is negotiating to play in Jacksonville and Orlando, Fla., New Orleans and Dallas. The school is looking at existing bowl-game organizations to help stage the contests.

"It's really not a bad idea for Notre Dame to have relationships with lots of different entities," White said.

White, who has been inaccessible to the media in recent months, met informally with reporters for 90 minutes Tuesday to discus a wide range of issues, including upgrading university facilities, his decision to give football coach Charlie Weis a new 10-year contract and football scheduling.

Some Notre Dame fans have criticized the team's upcoming schedules, saying they are not as tough as they have been. White said he is not trying to put together the nation's most difficult schedule.

"We need to schedule in a way it puts us in a position to win national championships. We could have a great football team and schedule ourselves out of a championship. You can schedule yourself in, you can schedule yourself out," he said. "The last time I checked, the most important thing here is to try to win national championships. That's what we're trying to do."

That was brought up to me during a long argument about ND ducking Miami on their schedule. Apparently, Miami (Fl not Oh) approached ND about renewing their "mini rivalry". ND said they would play one game in South Bend and one on a neutral field in Jacksonville. They refused to play at Miami.

At least their idiot fans can't cry about the "hard" schedule anymore.

That has a lot to do with the actions of the fans (and infamously during the Lou Holtz days) the players when the ND-Miami series was most heated.

first of all, ND has 3, OSU has 3, on that schedule. All three of OSU's games could be on ABC. But that's beside the point, nobody here is claiming ND does not have a national fanbase.

You claimed OSU does not have a national fanbase, which is comical.

What the fuck does that have to do with where Ohio State fans are located? Normally I'm against it when Mili warns people for just saying something a little homerish and labeling it as "trolling"......but I wouldn't object at all in this case.
