Although the conference allegedly was not caught off guard this past week, I was not expecting the latest announcement regarding University of Notre Dame’s departure from the conference.  I had believed that the dust had settled from the announcements, departures, additions, and settlements of earlier this year.  At first the Notre Dame announcement caught me [...]
