Doubtful....at 10-2 we are more than likely going orange.
I see this move as nothing more than
1. more money for our athletic programs
2. an ocCassional game with ND in the Valley
THAT IS ALL

I'd add there is 1 more potential upside
Sep 13, 2012, 10:33 PM

If the conditions become such that ND feels they have to be in a conference we will then be the obvious and logical place to go.
Seems like a large upside for what seems like very little downside.

That would suck. No doubt.

But the hope is that an ACC with ND in the bowl picture can secure some better bowl tie ins.
Will it happen? Who knows.

Even if they get us one more bowl tie-in (equal to the top 3 bowls) it will even itself out. I think bowl tie-ins will see a major shake-up with the start of the playoff.

this deal was not cut and FSU and GT bolted to the Big 12 followed by NC State and Virginia Tech to the SEC. Now that would blow.

priorities are out of whack. Not to mention the Irish will bring us much better alternatives than the Sun bowl so it won't be as bad as you make it out to be.

WFU, UNC, Duke, etc can do the same if they are 1 game back
Sep 13, 2012, 11:25 PM
|

it sucks, but its not a big change. The only difference is that ND is more likely to do it than WFU or Duke because they will bring equal or more fans than Clemson.
We've jumped plenty of ACC teams over the years because of our reputation of traveling to the bowls. Good for the goose, good for the gander.

A 9-3 ND would never jump a 10-2 Clemson for Atlanta.

ND outgunning us for football superiority of that sort is not a concern.

I'd rethink that
Sep 14, 2012, 7:31 AM

The reason that we've often jumped other teams for bowls is our fanbase. ND brings a traveling fanbase and a built in TV audience. A 9-3 ND team would absolutely get a bowl bid 7 times out of 10 over us for that reason. The only factor that would favor us is if they had been in that bowl the year before. Otherwise it's a no brainer for the bowl to take the TV ratings. Clemson is not a national TV draw. ND is.
To be fair, our fanbase has gotten us to bowls we didn't deserve so it's a little hard to complain about this without sounding hypocritical.

The bowls make their nut off of ticket sales and visitors.

TV ratings are the networks' problem when they cut their deals with the bowls. I just don't see Atlanta turning down our fan base and draw for a lesser Notre Dame team, unless we'd played in it the year prior.

I really don't think the Peach would take ND over Clemson either. I'm sure a 9 win ND would like the weather in El Paso.
I don't see us losing 3 games for the next couple years anyway.

Being pro about the new deal does not make someone a ND..
Sep 14, 2012, 4:23 PM

lover, but you have hit on my biggest concern. The Chick fil a is our biggest prize outside the Orange, and in my mind ranks much closer to the orange than the next bowl ranks to it. There is the possibility that ND would not get the nod over Clemson in that scenario, but I imagine they would definitely get the nod over most of the other ACC teams in that scenario.

Won't ND help us when it comes to negotiating bowl deals?
Sep 14, 2012, 5:19 PM

I imagine the ACC will probably be able to swing a better bowl tie-in due to ND being involved. And ND will never jump the ACC champ for the Orange Bowl.
