Front Page Story: Hood: ACC/Irish agreement is great....for Notre Dame

Hood: ACC/Irish agreement is great....for Notre Dame

The ACC announced Tuesday that Notre Dame would join the conference this summer, but the arrangement helps the Irish more than it does the ACC. Full Story »

Basically the ACC decided it was worth the detriment


Mar 13, 2013, 11:48 AM

of having a half ND membership to the potential gain of ND joining as a full member in the future.


We'll see how it plays out. I, for one, don't see ND ever joining. However, I'm not in the know with the ACC higher ups.

and took one here...we were dealing from a position of strength...they had to move their non football sports with the Big East falling apart. They weren't going to move them to the Catholic 7....they weren't going to get a deal with the B1G...they weren't going to go to the conference with UConn and Cincy...essentially Conf USA remade....they didn't want to move to the Big12....they really had no options but still got this deal with John and the ACC. That's amazing.

They would have gone to the Big 12 if the deal was not done with the ACC. They didn't want to but were willing to to remain independent. The ACC lost all power when the Big 12 agreed to a partial membership.

Re: and how would that have hurt the ACC???


Mar 13, 2013, 2:54 PM

1. TV revenue ND has a national audiance and even 2-3 games + basketball increases the TV dollars.

2. ACC Network along with the national following ND also has a olympic sports following which makes the ACC network worth more money because it would show all sports.

3. Bowl resume. ND makes the bowl line up more attractive to larger bowl games. By adding a chick-fil-a equivalent bowl the ACC stands to make 5-10 million more from the bowl system.

4. Basketball revenue. Yes it is a smaller figure than football but basketball does bring in revenue. If the new ACC had 2-3 teams in the final 4 each year it would bring in upwards of 30 million per year. ND does have a quality basketball program.

All of that combined having ND in the conference could provide Clemson with 2-3 million per year.

Don't agree with this article at all...


Mar 13, 2013, 3:10 PM

In my opinion, it's the complete opposite. The ACC is the bigger winner here, not Notre Dame.

OK, so Notre Dame isn't joining for football... So what? As part of their membership, they have to play 5 ACC teams a year, which means that once every 3 years, every ACC team will get to play ND on national television. Oh, and guess what? They're not touching our football money. Not one cent.

Lose to Notre Dame? Doesn't effect your chances of winning the conference.

Beat Notre Dame? Everyone notices, no matter how bad they may be.

It's amazing the folks on here who re-live the two game home-and-home we had with Notre Dame in the 70s seemingly all the time, yet Swofford just arranged so we get to play them every 3 years at NO COST to us... And this is a bad move? How so, exactly?

On to basketball... This may blow your mind, but ND is in the Top 10 in NCAA tourney appearances. They're bigger in basketball than you think and this deal now exposes Clemson basketball to the heartland. But they'll get paid, you say. Yes, they'll get exactly 1/15th of 20% of our TV contract. On the dollar, that equates to 1.3 cents for every dollar we're getting from TV. Not bad.

I don't know if it's arrogance, stupidity, or just Clemson fans acting as if the world doesn't expand beyond the upstate... But Notre Dame is Notre Dame. They're arguably the biggest brand name in all of college football, maybe all of American sports. It is huge exposure for Clemson and the rest of the ACC schools, and Swofford made it happen for absolutely free.

Let's dumb this down and stop over-thinking this thing: Every 3rd year we play the biggest name in college football... FOR FREE. Oh, and did I mention that if we lose, it doesn't matter? Because it doesn't.

At a time when the ACC is fragile, this was an awesome move by Swofford. If ND ever does plan to join, it'll be with the ACC. In the meantime, I'll just enjoy watching them come into the Valley and going to visit TD Jesus. The rest of you can sit on your couches and cry about it.

Mar 13, 2013, 12:46 PM [ in reply to I sure hope ND doesnt get a cut of our bowl money*** ]

The ACC will sell ACC football teams to the bowls. The ACC will try to make a deal with the best bowls.

When the ACC sell the first "non-BCS" pick to a bowl. They will certainly highlight Clemson, FSU, Notre Dame, Miami, and L-ville.

Having Notre Dame in the line-up helps make a deal with the better bowls.

If ND helps improve our stinking-pile-of-manure bowl lineup,


Mar 13, 2013, 1:14 PM [ in reply to I sure hope ND doesnt get a cut of our bowl money*** ]

i.e. if having them as part of our negotiations helps improve our chances at better bowls, then I'm all for them getting a cut of the resulting revenue. I can't say I'm a huge fan of them potentially bumping an ACC team out of a bowl, but with them on board it may mean that instead of being bumped from Atlanta to El Paso, a team may get bumped from Atlanta to (just to pick a random city) Tampa. Having ND in the equation will help the ACC to land some better bowls, and in that way it's good. I would still strongly prefer they be full members but at this point it's looking for the silver lining.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

how are they going to help us if many of the bowls have


Mar 13, 2013, 1:52 PM

long term partnerships lined up with the B1G, SEC, and Big12? Many of the New Years Day bowls are B1G and SEC match ups....Tampa, Orlando, Jax. Some of the others are SEC Big12 match ups like the Cotton Bowl. The champions bowl is a replacement of the Sugar Bowl and matches up SEC Big12. I see this helping ND with giving them access to a bowl game outside of the BCS but not really helping the other ACC members.

What are the money sharing agreements?


Mar 13, 2013, 12:08 PM

If football is 80% of the ACC revenue then they should be counted as a 20% member and only receive 20% of the revenue everyone else receives. If that is the case, then I don't think the ACC is getting as screwed as it sounds in your analogy.

I also wonder how much thought was put into the fact that the NBC contract is due for renewal in the next year or two. Had ND continued their poor performance on the field the as they have done the last decade, then NBC might not have put up the big bucks and the ACC would be right there to reel them in. Unfortunately they managed an undefeated season and "played" for a MNC so their value may have gone up...

Re: Front Page Story: Hood: ACC/Irish agreement is great....for Notre Dame


Mar 13, 2013, 12:09 PM

I think that besides FSU and Clemson the rest of the conference needs NotreDame so that they can have 5 full stadiums every 2 years. NotreDame also ups the value of non football sports. I think the new media contracts will reflect that. Currently the ACC has 2 decent bowl, Orange and ChikFilA ... I exp[ect adding Notre Dame to the non BCS bowls will change that to 3.
Unless Clemson, FSU or Va Tech is in the bowl we do not sell tickets except for north carolina teams in the belk bowl.

other ACC teams from the tier of non-BCS bowls if they have an equal record. Am I right? That means they could take the CFA bowl from us or FSU if both teams wre 10-2 and didn't get a BCS game. We will be saying more than "Dagdum" when that happens (even if we don't know what that means).

If our current bowl line up stays the same...


Mar 13, 2013, 12:40 PM [ in reply to Dagdum it!!! It's not just the money - they get to bump ]

..then you are correct.

That said, word is bowl contracts are very much in flux w/ BE dissolving, other leagues changing, etc. ND will NOT take the ACC championship series/final 4/whatever nor the orange bowl slot (they have to earn that as an independent per reports).

As for the bowls after the orange...yes, they are in line, but due to ND the ACC is reportedly negotiating new contracts. If we add 2 new good bowls for the ACC (i.e. NYD type), then even if ND gets one it's a net win for ACC. I also don't think ND will routinely be better than the top 3-4 in ACC anyway.

IF, and I have no reason to think Swofford will get this done, but IF the ACC office capitalizes for having ND in our bowl line up (for lower)...then we will benefit.

Re: If our current bowl line up stays the same...


Mar 13, 2013, 12:47 PM

But I still don't like the possibility that we end up with the same record as they do, and end up having them take the bowl we should be getting as an ACC team when they are not a full ACC team. Why should we get pushed down a notch in the bowls by a team that doesn't play for the ACC title? We just have to win the ACC championship game every year to avoid this - simple solution.

Mar 13, 2013, 12:51 PM [ in reply to If our current bowl line up stays the same... ]

Once again, big IF...but IF Swofford actually does some good and gets us new bowls by advertising Notre Dame as a possibility, then I have no problem with the bowl deal for ND. They already were a threat to steal spots from ACC teams for a few years I know when we had the Gator Bowl, and also maybe the one in Orlando for a little bit.

I mean right now if I was in charge of a bowl, I wouldn't want anything to do with being the 3rd, and absolutely no the 4th option for the ACC. Too much of a risk you get a team that fights to put 50,000 in a stadium for a big time opponent. Now with the possibility of getting ND one out of 3-4 years...I will listen.

AGAIN HUGE IF we actually can get a decent bowl behind the Chick-Fil-A Bowl

Bowls are not about putting butts in seats anymore, which actually is good for the ACC w/ the smaller alumni base many of our members have.

3rd or 4th in ACC will be Clemson, FSU, ND, MIami, VT, UNC....even 4th will generally be a top 20-25 team.

GT and UVA to B1G.
NCST and VA Tech to SEC.


ACC North Division:
Notre Dame, L-ville, Pitt, BC, Syracuse, Navy (football only)

ACC South Division:
Miami, FSU, CU, UNC, Duke, Wake

Everyone plays 5 divisional games and 1 cross divisional game. The teams with the best record go to ACC-CG.




"Okay, I will watch your cats, only because I am Erectile Dysfunctional because of what the B1G and SEC just did to me."

There will be other cross divisional games that don't affect the divisional standings.



Notre Dame only plays 6 conference games.

CU, FSU, and L-ville will play 8 conference games (plus 1 game vs an in-state rival that draws big TV viewership).

Everyone else will play 9 conference games.

All cross divisional games that don't affect divisional standings will be scheduled for September.

Re: Front Page Story: Hood: ACC/Irish agreement is great....for Notre Dame


Mar 13, 2013, 1:11 PM

Mr. Hood could I ask you what you would have the ACC change about the situation? I understand that it is not ideal but it is still beneficial to the conference and based on what we know about the situation the best deal on the table. A lot of factors forced the ACC's hand and I believe they came out looking good.

1. Big 12 agreed to take ND as a partial member eliminating the ACC's ability to push for full membership.

2. The ACC needed a team to enhance the bowl line up to sell for the 2014 bowl contract realignment.

3. The ACC needed a national network like ND to make the ACC network more feasible and profitable.

4. The ACC will make more TV revenue when partnering with ND in the Orange bowl than in years playing 2nd team SEC/B1G. 41 Million compared to 27 Million in other years.

Now I understand people are upset about ND not being a full member but under the current situation this was the best option. As much as ND needed a new conference (had multiple options), the ACC needed ND and that is why it was important we land them. I don't understand the need to complain when the ACC came out on top based on the factors we could control.

Their TV contract doesn't end until 2015. It would have been impossible to get their football team before then.

As far as them scheduling games with our football schools I'd imagine they are like everyone else in that they're booked up for the next few years.

I think the idea was that someday if they are forced into a conference we'd be first in line. Like that'll ever happen!

No matter how much the media wants them to be great again, it didn't happen. They were overrated and got exposed. I'm much happier with Louisville coming in. Screw Notre Dame and their gold domes!
