Does Notre Dame's Schedule Help?

Last season Notre Dame took on lowly Washington State in San Antonio Texas. This upcoming season, the Irish are slated to play Navy in East Rutherford, New Jersey and Army in the Bronx, New York.

Along with these neutral site games, the Irish frequently travel across the nation to play games along the east and west coasts.

Back from vacation and a break, so let’s dig right into what’s in the news.

Conference expansion and realignment could leave non-BCS conferences like the Sun Belt depleted, forcing a conference realignment of their own.

Below 4th and Long has put together its 2010 Preseason AA (All-Arrest) Team.
