College Football History: Why Hasn’t Notre Dame Joined The Big Ten?

Notre Dame has remained independent in football despite numerous changes in college sports, such as NIL and conference realignments. Historically, Notre Dame was denied entrance into the Big Ten four times, which significantly influenced their decision to stay independent. These denials were partly due to early 20th-century anti-Catholic sentiment and academic snobbery from Big Ten schools, whi...

1910: The Forward Pass And The Fight For The Soul of College Football
Who says it's the most famous trophy? Only the USA. Think the football World Cup might be more famous.
Great video. Thanks! I had never heard of Chic Harley.
The newspaper's statement that Notre Dame was in Notre Dame, Ind. was for all purposes correct. The campus is considered to have as its hometown Notre Dame, Ind. It's an unincorporated city, outside of South Bend's limits. The U.S. Post Office for the college is called Notre Dame, and though its service area is governed by the university, it still functions as city, with the campus police, and a campus-operated fire department. As it is unincorporated, there is no municipal government, but the Census Bureau recognizes Notre Dame, Ind. as a Census Designated Place. Three bar bets you can win are: Name the city Notre is in, name the city the Indianapolis 500 is run in (that's Speedway, Ind.) and name the city the Las Vegas Strip is in (Las Vegas' city limits are drawn to exclude the strip, as a tax break for those poor, struggling owners of casinos.
Great video answered a lot of questions I had . Also I'm an Alabama fan but have always loved Nebraska and in my opinion they have fan base with the most class of any team and I believe they are about return to greatness this season where they belong it's been a long time and we have missed watching those boys kick a little behind.
In my opinion, the Heisman Trophy is the best individual award in sports. Period.
Your channel is fascinating. Id love to see your insight applied to the nfl as well. I was surprised to see the Eagles tush push was a play from 100 years ago
Outstanding video and topic!
Not only has the ground gotten harder, but bushes have become thornier, and the whole world has become optically blurrier. Meanwhile as to 2024, it's the first year in a while that I haven't signed up to coach, because of uncertainties about my heart rhythm. The atrial ablation I undertook last year held just fine until spring, and now I've started sotalol rather than trying another ablation, and it's hard to tell if it's working so far.
If you look at the quick shifting before the rule change, slow motion film shows them pretending to come to the "full stop" as required merely by having both feet stationary on the ground, but the body momentum was sustained, which officials couldn't easily see, and well practiced. The 1-second requirement was added so officials could see the players come to a stop.
Walter Camp didn't try to claim everything. Parke Davis did it for him.
Wow, I had no idea! Also can't figure out how the battery plant fumes worked, or were presumed to have worked.
Please keep making the videos. I'm 68 years old and never knew any of this. By the way I have watched all episodes on the channel, and I am impressed
Thanks for your thoughts about John Heisman and his unselfishness. It always makes me happy to hear about great people who thought about their neighbors and about making their community better, even when it didn't profit them.
Your Heisman vids were great. I always wondered about this mysterious character who managed to get THE college football award named after him, and still remain so unknown! I agree with you about the '24 season. I haven't been this excited about the start of a season in a long, LONG time. I'm right in the middle of Ducks country, and the "O" a very highly visible thing in these parts, and it would be cool to see a rivalry develop. Excited to have them in our conference...and rated in the pre-season top 5! Huskers are poised to made a significant improvement, as well. Counting down the days. GBR!
Thank you for having the kids in the background. I like knowing there are still kids who play outside.
Thank you for keeping this part of history alive
There has only been one school he coached at to have a Heisman trophy winner. Auburn with Pat Sullivan an, Bo Jackson, and Can Newton.
You should read the book Stagg verse Yost. After you read it do a video on it. The recruiting tactics sound very familiar.
Love these videos, Jon! Didn't they rename the Heisman trophy for him the year after he died? He probably wouldn't have allowed it if he had been alive to protest it.
Dude, I like your videos. Their really cool. I like certain strands of history and college football is one of them. Roll Tide.
@user-kt8uq2wl2j Roll damn Tide. Husker fan here but respect to Alabama ever since the Bear Bryant days.
Battery fumes might be nothing more than a placebo.
I call bullshit. Carlisle was using the forward pass in 1908. Is just the usual notre dame bullshit
It isn't about being first. It's about the time being right for the foward pass to be accepted by everyone as a part of the regular offense and not a "gimmick". When Carlisle was doing it, it wasn't accepted as such. When Notre Dame did it in 1913, it was an idea whose time had come. It didn't hurt than Notre Dame and particularly Rockne, were damned good at marketing....
Go Blue
What a great channel. I love the stories of college football’s beginnings. You do a great job. I’m also a big fan of Matt Rhule. He was a great coach at Baylor, my favorite football team. Keep up the great work and I hope Nebraska has a great season. Thanks.
Drunk at 3 am right now wondering how the Heisman was decided to be named the heissman. Your video helped and you’re a Nebraska fan. Me too. Instant subscribe 👍🏽
🏈🏈🏈
I found it very interesting and enjoyed your commentary
very good info ! thanks Mr.johnson go JETS !!!
The World Cup is named "John Heisman"? I don't think so
Correct. It's named Bob.
I've always chuckled when I've heard young college football fans say that Notre Dame belongs in the B10, because I'm not sure a century is long enough for Notre Dame to get beyond the disrespect shown them by the B10.
BOOKtl
That was pretty sic when Lawrence Taylor snapped his femur
Fun Fact - Marcus Allen is the only player to win the Heisman, Super Bowl MVP and NFL MVP.
WRONG !!!@
Another great video man you are a treasure
I appreciate that!
This is a great video congratulations and good job. I’m gonna go get the book.
Haha, brother I went to college I. Greensboro, NC. I grew up one town away from there. But when you said "gofurd..." and said it was in North Carolina, I was stumped and had to Google who in the heck Clemson played when they won 122-0. It turns out it was GUILFORD college, in Greensboro. That's "gill furd" phonetically, named for the county that Greensboro and High Point are in. I went to a different school in Greensboro, but you can still trust me on this one: GUILFORD, pronounced GILL FURD.
I am not the best when it comes to pronunciations..... or maybe just pretend I had a loaf of bread in my mouth when I was talking.
Good stuff. Keep up the good work. 🙂👍🏻🏈
Thanks for another informative video :-)
Doctors back then really felt like they were making it up as they went, but I guess you can’t argue with those results
Hello Jon. I can send you some examples of my editing work.
Hello Jon, Can I help you with video editing? I’m very interested
Send me an email to cornnation@gmail.com - and we can start discussing what we can do together.

My budget is tighter than a classic Penn State defense but if I can scrounge up a bit to spare I'll help as I can.
Thank you!
The formation of the game (and all similar games such as rugby and soccer) is super interesting. Thank you for the work
Good to be here thanks for having me, Jon
I'm a history nut as well and appreciate your work and love the channel.
