If you think that Texas will put up with that, you are wrong. Texas runs the Big XII

It may be silly, but ND is really giving the ACC the shaft

Swofford doesn't have the balls or the clout to give Notre Dame anything,especially that ultimatum.
And if he did,I could almost assure you that Notre Dame would tell him to shove it.

Only two things will get them to join in football in

Any conference and the first will determine if they can do the second.
1. They will have to see that there is a benefit as in not making the final four or whatever if may be at that time and 2. Put aside their arrogance to make a rational decision

I hate ND but I would guess they are one of the largest fan bases in the country. Meaning eyes on tvs.

Ultimatums don't work.

If someone caves to ultimatums you control them. I wouldn't try that on anyone I wanted a relationship with.
We'll get plenty of money and exposure for our limited relationship with ND.

Five (or more) ACC teams each year get the out-of-conference game that everybody else wants. Notre Dame fans requested twice the BCS tickets as Alabama fans. It's a sellout game with a steeper ticket price for the 2 or 3 teams that get to host them each year under that agreement.
BTW, somebody posted on here that Alabama was much wealthier than SC, so I googled. Alabama is a little better at production per capita (#46 for AL and #48 for SC; believe it or not, Mississippi is #36), but in terms of income, SC is #40 and AL is #44 (and Mississippi of course is #50).

Just being realistic, it won't happen…..

this past year proved that ND still can be independent in football and get to the national title game. For a while not being in a conference looked like it was hurting ND. But Brian Kelly has done a good job and if he continues to a good job ND won't be joining full time.
And the ACC isn't going to put that kind of pressure on them.
