re: ND leaving the ACC for non-football sports?

This is the biggest hissy fit I’ve ever seen a football team throw.
What a bunch of cry babies.

If the ACC doesn’t have our back, why should ND have their back…
Can you explain what you mean by this? Not sure I follow as I am not sure what the ACC could have done. I am sure they pushed for Miami first and then ND over Bama.
Did you expect them to push ND over UM who is a full time member and beat you?
sorry just a little confused on what you expected them to do to have your back

They believe that the ACC playing the Miami over ND game on repeat for a couple of days on their network had an effect on the committee.

Meaning: If Notre Dame wanted to move those sports to another conference (say, the Big Ten), the ACC would still control their media rights until 2036. That’s the same chokehold Clemson, Florida State, and UNC are fighting against.
Exactly. The top schools in the conference want it broken up and now ND is throwing their support behind them. But the ACC is in a position of power here. The conferences top programs want the GOR broken.

I mean plain and simple....ND is not in the ACC in football. Why would they ever think that they would choose to promote ND over Miami who is a full time member?
makes no sense. and I support the hell out of ND not wanting to be in the big 10 just based on history, but I do find it comical that the main school that kept them out...became one of their biggest rivals(Michigan)
I actually am a big fan of ND and really like the university but frick their Admin and Fans are arrogant AF.

That’s the 2–10 razorbacks right?
Playing 5 games over 3-4 years with only 3 of them pre-schedules is TOTALLY the same as playing 8 SEC teams each season.

And you are faulting them for wanting out from a weak conference to free up their flexibility in their schedule?
No. Pretty sure he's faulting them for being self-important, entitled bleeding vaginas.

The relationship between the ACC and Notre Dame has generally been beneficial for both parties over the years. However, I think the reality of Notre Dame playing 5 football games against ACC teams year after year is straining this relationship on both sides.
ACC teams are getting tired of getting beat year after year and ND is getting tired of inferior competition and being impacted by an increasingly weaker schedule (FSU and Clemson getting worse), For example, here is ND's record against ACC teams during the past several years:
Season Wins Losses
2017 4 1
2018 5 1 Includes a bowl game loss to Clemson
2019 5 0
2020 9 1 Played a full conference schedule during Covid year
2021 5 0
2022 4 0
2023 3 2
2024 5 0
2025 4 1

If true, it seems like Notre Dame is just cutting off its nose to spite its face.

Re-hashed 1000 times. It's their current starter who just won them the SEC this season, and Kirby had a whole month to prep with him. He had one bonehead play, but he didn't lose that game for them.

Just say you didn't watch the game. The only bad call was not throwing the holding on 4th and goal from the 15ish that allowed TAMU to score the winning touchdown. The holding penalty on the kick return by TAMU was iffy but actually helped TAMU because it let them bleed the clock out instead of giving ND the ball with ~3 minutes and a few time outs to get a field goal.

Whatever makes you feel better about only having 2 seasons above .500 in SEC play since 2015 bro.

People also don’t understand or know the history of ND
1. ND wanted to join the Big 10 a long time ago. Michigan blackballed them because they were Catholic
That's just Michigan. ND has had a long-term and good relationship with Purdue and Michigan State through the decades. Purdue and MSU have always wanted to play ND every year. Purdue has started to play ND again and Michigan State is playing ND next year.
ND has played USC 96 times, Purdue 86 times and MSU 65 times and the Michigan anti-Catholic thing is long gone.

Exactly. What's esp humorous is the "we're a valued member in 24 sports, though none of the are all that important" line. ACC should kiss their arse cause they field a soccer team?
Someone actually made the 'but... Lacrosse' argument this morning
Posted on 12/9/25 at 10:37 am to lsu777
In the run-up to the CFP selection, the coverage on ESPN and especially the ACC Network was incredibly biased against ND.
I understand that we’re not a football member, but ND is still a member of the ACC and has been for years and the ACC Network is our home network as well.
All we wanted was fair coverage and a fair chance to compete. I think the ND AD is just sending a “shot across the bow” to the ACC that we do have options outside the ACC.

As a counter to "women's basketball" don't have to try to frame it as they are comparing lacrosse and football, because they weren't.

Do you think the committee was really swayed by the television coverage of Miami beating ND? They already knew that Miami beat ND.

If Big Ten and SEC say they don't want any more members outside of ND and UNC I could see a chunk of the ACC moving to the Big 12. Clemson, FSU, Miami, GT, NCSU, UVA, VT, and Pitt. Then 2 divisions with 12 teams each.

Here's a question, why does everyone dislike Notre Dame not being in a conference? What's wrong with being independent? It's not like mega conferences have improved college football. Quite the opposite.
With the way conferences have expanded, it’s a pointless argument.
Miami, the ACC representative, didn’t even play the two teams in the ACC Championship (Duke and Virginia) nor did they play GT.
If ND wants to remain independent, that’s perfectly fine. That doesn’t mandate teams to schedule them, however. I mean, if I was a ND fan / ticket holder, I’m not sure I could justify paying those ticket prices for that schedule. Look at 2026, it’s even worse …

And what does this season have to do with him being a freshman thrown to the wolves with a practice squad offense last year?

Yeah I’m not reading this nonsense. Any non-Somalian level intelligent human being saw you get your last 2 scores via ref assistance, not to mention all the help you got along the way. Notre Dame is actually Latin for Welfare Queen btw.
