Notre Dame should join the ACC, not the BIG

Why? If they are forced to join a conference the Big 10 is going to have WAY more money to offer plus most of their traditional rivals. The ACC can’t compete with that

If the ACC tried to add a single team, their current GOR would be ended and multiple teams would leave in a heartbeat.

I’ve never heard that before. Where is the link to that?

So many false statements in one thread.

I read ND must ask the Pope before leaving ACC.

The Irish are hitched to a pair of television contracts. The deal with NBC runs through 2025 and draws approximately $15 million per year. ESPN's contract with the ACC runs through 2036. That grant of rights deal includes language that if Irish choose to join a conference in football before 2036, they are contractually obligated to join the ACC.

It would be better for college football because it would help maintain the balance of power in the sport instead of consolidating everything into the SEC and the BIG. The ACC should also add WVU when the Big 12 and Pac 12 merge.

That's wussy talk. ND will go where they can get the most money and it's either the Big Ten or the SEC. The ACC isn't worth saving for football purposes. You are talking like a sissy who clutches their pearls.

I think there would have to be an out clause for major conference upheaval like we're seeing right now. 4 major teams flipped conferences.

What kind of talk do you have going? Notre Dame is not worried about money. They generate plenty on their own. The ACC has won three of the last nine football championships. That’s more than the Big 10 and PAC-12 combined. They are contractually obligated to join the ACC through 2036 if they join a conference. They are not breaking that to go to the Big 10 or SEC.

ND has no need to join a conference. They have five ACC games, USC, Stanford and they’ll never get rid of the Navy game to repay Navy for keeping Notre Dame afloat during WWII, so they are locked down on their schedule. If the playoffs expand ND has zero need to join a conference, even without the playoff expansion it is unlikely ND will join a conference for football.
