Once again, the ACC, Barker, and Swofford are playing

chess and the mange board is playing checkers.
ND isn't joining in football yet, but 5 guaranteed ACC games a year will bring in a lot of money for whomever gets 'em at home (assume 3 one year and then 2 the next). Plus, ND ain't scared to play good teams so it will be a mixture of good and weak ACC teams. They ain't going to play Duke, BC, UMD, Pitt, and Wake every year, nor will it be Clemson, FSU, VT, GT, and UNC every year.
The Big 12 move is dead and good riddance.

Unconfirmed reports are that this deal will push the ACC

back to 8 conference games. We'll have to see if that happens or not. If so it'd be another gain for Clemson.

The same unconfirmed reports also say

that it will be up to the athletic directors. The only athletic directors that the 9 game conference schedule + Notre Dame hurts are Clemson, FSU, and GT. Clemson and GT have already shown they are more than willing to bend over and grab their ankles for the folks in Greensboro. Don't look for the 9 game conference slate to go away.

I'm not sure what to think of that comparison

I mean, Al Groh was apparently playing chess when he was a head coach.

so we sell and extra 10,000 once every 6 years and Duke sells and extra 30,000 when they play them in Durham. It doesnt help anyone that much but the bottom feeders of the conf

How about the money we lose when we have to play them in South Bend? That would be their TV contract and they do not have to share.
I don't care what it would mean for Duke's ticket sales. This is a bad move for Clemson!

In a home-and-home? Usually $zero

We pay teams to come to Clemson if we don't travel to their school.
But visitors don't get a cut of the gate in a normal home-and-home between equal schools.

I'm thinking ND plays 2 home, 2 away, and 1 "neutral"

at some big-city stadium, like Maryland in Redskins Stadium, Syracuse in the Meadowlands, or Duke in Charlotte.

Why should there be a nuetral site. 3/2 alternate years is the way I read it.

Something to consider
Sep 12, 2012, 3:16 PM
|
|
“I want to reinforce that it’s our intention to remain independent,” Swarbrick said. “It’s central to us and was central to these discussions. If something should change -- I don’t know what that would be, but if something drastic would change -- we’re committed to the ACC. We would expect this to be the home of that if we made a change, but I don’t want to send the wrong message.”

Playoffs! I think he's talking about Playoffs!

If there's playoffs that include conference champion, ND joins the ACC.
That's what the "something" is, right? So this statement might tell us he does know what "something" is and maybe it's getting close.

josephg, once again I find myself disagreeing with you.

Checkers involves some calculation and strategy. Hating ND, Swaffie and Barker does not. 
However, I'm glad the Big 12 thing is over. I got carried away by the moment.
