Notre Dame has their own rules ..

I’ll never understand how Notre Dame is but is not a part of the ACC. They don’t even have to play a Conference Championship Game. It hurts the conference and helps them. Seems they have always played by their own rules.

Theyve always been held to a lower standard

for whatever reason. Nothing new. It’s how they stay relevant on a national level. You can thank ole tarhole jonny swofford for their sweet acc deal. Absolutely no reason they should be able to compete in the acc in every sport but football.

thank that genius John Swafford for that. We booed him everytime we went to the ACC championship game. and Some of those elitist Tiger fans did not get it. They did not get why we hated someone who screwed Clemson in the past and screwed the ACC in the present with his stupid business decisions.

NBC helped them out with their own TV contract. I just about guarantee, if

Clemson were offered that same deal back then, we would have jumped on it with both feet.

I'm not sure what you don't understand. Various schools in the past were independent for football but conference members for other sports. BYU did it until this year.

It hasn't hurt the conference. The conference got a network (and thus extra TV money) from the deal.

I just wish they would cut back on the requirement to play ND in football. Maybe only 2 times in 10 years. I would like a bigger variety of playing schools in The SEC, B1G and the Big 12.

It's also odd that Cal and SMU have not been brought into the 5 game per year ACC rotation with ND yet. ND already plays Stanford yearly so is that going to count as one of their 5 required games? I have seen nothing on how it's going to be handled since the additions.

The Notre Dame games are part of the deal for the conference network.

Yes, Stanford counts as one of the games.

I will never forget when Clemson won the ACC championship game in 2020 beating ND and Swoffie was no where to be seen for the post game trophy presentation. He was probably out in the parking lot comforting the Notre Dame officials.

Looks like now the ACC is now a tryout camp for Notre Dame QB's.

If not for their delusional fan base and media propping up a one legged leprechaun, they have zero relevancy since 1989, where spittin loser holtz cheated to win a natty!

Not that I have an opinion or anything on the subject :)

Well they can't be top 4 without that conference championship.

Just wait until a particular year when they go 12-0 and are playing first week of playoffs while the top 4 seeds are sitting there with two losses each.
