for the ACC and its image provided the deal includes a provision that Notre Dame will ultimately become a full member in all sports. Utlimately being defined as within the next five years.

I would presume there is a longer term plan in place to move

football into the conference too. I don't know the particulars, but ND likely has to have their NBC contract run out. At that point the ACC may join ND on NBC.

I dont because you have raised the exit fee for members. they have no such fee. they are a free rider. also what are they contributing $ wise? and lastly will their fb games count as conf games or have we gone from 9 to 10 required games for those who get the honor of playing a game against ND in a given year. where will said games be? South Bend I'm sure

How do you figure that? I'm sure the buyout applies to them, as well.

If...IF...there is a provision requiring them to become
Sep 12, 2012, 10:51 AM

a full member in all sports in 3-5 years, then I'm all for this move. However, no such clause has been mentioned in any of the quotes, press releases, or news articles so far. Given that it was probably the first question to come out of any good reporter's mouth, it's probably safe to say that either said provision doesn't exist, or they're keeping it very secret.

What does common sense tell you is more likely?
Sep 12, 2012, 10:55 AM

Notre Dame stays at 5 ACC opponents per year or they become full members in the future?
Common sense told us that the Big 12 talk was bullshite. Look what happened.
People are thinking with their butts on this stuff.

I hope you are right, but this falls in line with recent ACC decisions of Pitt and Syracuse.
It looks desperate by the ACC.
And what happens if we are required to go to South Bend and we have an unbalanced away ACC schedule that year, 5 home games????

Gonna bring more $, more exposure, and make our conference stronger and more solidified. No one is leaving now!

Meaning a conference where we don't have to worry about teams coming and going and how the landscape changing might affect us. Our schools have a strong commitment and we don't need to worry about being poached.

I really can't believe anybody thinks this was a good idea! Why would ND allow that provision? They already have your money now.

I think some may be overlooking the muscle NBC wants to flex over Notre Dame in this move and future TV contracts.

the ACC can use Notre Dame and NBC as leverage to enhance its bargaining position with E$ecPN.

or pehaps...ND is the one that just gained leverage over NBC with Clemson, or FSU, Miami, or UNC coming to town on a yearly basis. Then they can renew their contract with them as an independant.

I just dont see them joining as a full member and that is the only way this deal is any good.

I think they'll be partial qualifiers for the money too.

They can't just drop their current scheduled BB games without penalty or their NBC contract without a big payout.
I'm with you on this. This may work out for they certainly bring a lot of eyes to the ACC.
