It\u2019s a day of love and the offseason for college football<\/a>. Many are spending time exchanging gifts and cards on this Saturday, Valentine\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n

Even the media networks are exchanging their cards with followers. The FOX Sports College Football page on X (formerly Twitter) had some fun by sharing the Valentine\u2019s Day cards they created.<\/p>\n

However, one card particularly got fans fired up. FOX Sports posted a message that included Notre Dame football. Notre Dame, of course, is an independent school that isn\u2019t in a conference.<\/p>\n

That post set the X and sports world ablaze. There have been many criticisms of Notre Dame football due to its status as an independent.<\/p>\n

It went further under the microscope when they were passed over for the 2025-2026 College Football Playoffs. That spot ultimately went to James-Madison University and Miami (FL).<\/p>\n

Notre Dame responded by declining all college football bowl invites. It was a controversial decision, directly protesting their missed selection.<\/p>\n

Ohio State Buckeyes wide receiver Jeremiah Smith (4) makes a catch against Notre Dame Fighting Irish cornerback Christian Gray (29) in the fourth quarter during the College Football Playoff National Championship at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta on January 20, 2025.<\/p>\n

Many fans and analysts believe their solution is simple: join a conference and compete in that conference. However, Notre Dame has multiple lucrative media contracts for football, including NBC.<\/p>\n

The Fighting Irish may not want to share from their pot of gold; they have stayed independent. However, it seems the pressure to join a conference will continue\u2013even as the subject of an innocent joke.<\/p>\n
