Brian Kelly said it a few weeks back - we want the flexibility to play coast-to-coast.
They already play 3-4 B10 schools a year, USC, plus another team or two from the Pac10, plus a game each, sometimes two against an ACC and Big East opponent.
And all of that doesn't even bring tradition into the mix, which is one of the main reasons given by ND everytime this comes up.
The best reason ND would have to move to the B10 is to cut down on travel costs for lower and non-revenue sports.
Otherwise, they'd be stupid to move, IMO.

you are only thinking about this from a business perspective.
Notre Dame football is not what it once was .... as doesn't look to be improving anytime soon. Being in the Big 10 conference with add legitimacy on the football field. It would also provide a measuring stick for the coaches and players to judge themselves by. It will also force them to focus on getting better because of the consistency of their schedule.
Being this elite "above everyone else" school makes them arrogant and entitled which almost never leads to top performance.
nobody know if it will happen but imo it would definitely help Notre Dame field a better football team.
