What I have yet to see is how or why this is bad for the ACC or ND. Really just a lot of angry big 10/12 fans bc ND didnt join there conference.
They will either have no schedule flexibility or be forced to break off 60 year rivalries that are the trademark of ND football

USC, Navy, Stanford + 5 rotating ACC games is 8. Still leaves 3 to 4 games to be scheduled.
ND and Mich were already going to quit playing each other for a while shortly.

I think that was the point. They wanted the stability of a conference w/o being in a conference.
As the AD said...this year is the last of our ridiculous schedules...and they said it was getting more difficult to find games with everyone else in the country tied into their conferences with 8-9 games filled on those schedules...and the rest wanting to be filled by rent-a-wins.
This is win-win for ND. They have a yearly base of 5 games...plus Navy, USC, Stanford...and then have the flexibility to fill the remainder...a LOT easier to fill 3-4 spots than 9 spots.
