I was at a private fundraiser this year with some clients where Chris Spielman was the guest speaker. He told the small group that two people "in the know" confirmed to him that ND to the Big 10 is all but a done deal, probably in 2014.
He said the Big 10 was prepared to pull UM, Mich St, and Purdue off of the schedule if they did not join. He also told us the Big East is making a similar stance in the other sports forcing their hand even more.
He sounded pretty confident in what he was saying, and the additional TV money from the Big 10 network may be to good to pass up.
Stay tuned....
Bluefish, I did that as well. A buddy and I both made separate donations and are now side by side. On our donation forms we were told to list the other persons customer number along with our intentions of where we wanted to sit. We also called the ticket office and Victors club a couple times each to make sure they could see this request. You should be able to get closer (especially if you give some more $$) but you may not be able to get next to them unless they move as well. Good luck.
I was a first time donor this year as well, one check for around 700 put us inside of the first 20 rows. There is no doubt the economy and the lack of a contending team has lowered the demand to buy in. Better get in before they turn this thing around!
