I'll get downvoted for this, but if ND resists joining the B1G for any reason and see joining the ACC or maintaining independence as not viable then why not add them?
Save me the not a geographic or cultural fit arguments, Indiana borders Kentucky so technically a geographical one. Depending on who else we invite like UNC, UVA, etc the cultural one could go down the drain as well.
Does USC/UCLA strike you as a geographic or cultural fit for the B1G? A historically Midwest conference. The only similarities they have with the B1G is they're AAU. This is about $$$.
If (and this has a .01% chance of happening) ND refuses to join the B1G and the ACC crumbles and independence won't be an option then that leaves them with just one option.
As far as their Olympic sports that the SEC doesn't offer RN that could change depending on who else we invite and they have those sports, plus maybe some current members play those sports in different conferences and can now play in the SEC.
Let the downvotes commence

Geographic, frick no.
Culturally, surprisingly yes. Migrating New Englanders aside, PAC and B1G teams play each other before other conferences (drop obvious cross state rivalries)

The SEC would add ND no questions asked but if they ever join a conference it won’t be the SEC unless there is a massive change in what the B10 can pay schools. Adding USC makes the B10 even more attractive to ND. Nearly all their historic rivals are in the B10 now.
