Actually, this has been discussed previously. The ND folks are happy with this arrangement. They know if they go 11-1 or 12-0, they will get to host a home game in the Playoff. The wording from the ND Athletic Director was something along the lines of (and I'm not direct quoting), "Other schools who play a conference championship will have played a 13th game and earn a bye. We will get our 13th game as a home game."
So they believe the trade-off is well worth it.

ND might join a nationwide college football league, but they are never going to join the BigTen in its current format.

But they can get a 1st round home game...ND probably did the math on that and was good.

Just as likely to get a 1st round road game.***

Nor should they. Conference champs get only byes

Ultimately, there will be 4 major conferences. Those who do not belong to any of those 4 will have to be selected as at-large teams and have a play-in game. With a 12-team playoff, the second round pits the 4 Conference champs against the winners of the play-in games. At large teams must win 4 games to be National Champs.

Well, nothing stopping from the conferences going

Back to the old model of declaring champ after reg season/12 games…. There could be more damage to a conf as to getting their best or multi teams in by playing the game

Good point but there's way too much money riding on the championship games. I can't see them ever giving that up.

LOL at the cockiness of Notre Dame - our 13th game will be a "Home Game"
They are assuming they are a high enough seed to get to host...... most years they will probably be playing on the road in the playoffs if they make it in....

And that’s fair because they also won’t ever play in a conference championship game.
