You really think MU is going to start beating out OSU and PSU for kids in those states?
I don't think so.

Notre Dame has regular rivalries... maybe not every single year, but they play Michigan, Michigan State, USC, etc; just about every year... and like KcMizzou said, they're Notre f***ing Dame.
On top of that, the Big 10's image has taken a huge hit in the past few years... why would Notre Dame want to be associated with the perception of that conference being left behind?
