People here place entirely too much significance on the NBC contract.

You all realize that ND could make significantly more as a full member of the Big 10, right? The desire to be independent has little to do with TV contracts.

Hot Take- IMO ND in 2-5 years will have a ACC type deal with B1G
Vippie1 • 12/08/25 07:08 PM ET
I would be surprised **

Michigan is against Big 10 private equity
VaTechie • 12/08/25 09:20 PM ET
That long....huh.**

Big Ten isn’t giving them a half in agreement. **

If ND goes can ACC
DarylS • 12/08/25 08:04 PM ET
They'll join the MAC to guarantee a playoff spot every year**
hokiedad25 • 12/08/25 07:39 PM ET
It won't happen with the Big 10, but there are other options.**
VT2ND • 12/08/25 07:35 PM ET
Yep, I agree. They would not be so vocal in the media today without a plan
HokieAl • 12/08/25 07:29 PM ET
Neither the SEC nor the B1X will allow ND to have an "ACC deal"
EDGEMAN • 12/08/25 07:23 PM ET
But they can't as long as the ACC GOR is in place.
HokieAl • 12/08/25 07:31 PM ET
Not until at least 2029 because of their $50M a year contract with NBC**

If they could make gobs more they would have been in th B10 a long time ago**

You have a fundamental misunderstanding of how ND operates
VT2ND • 12/08/25 07:58 PM ET
You are correct
RTFC • 12/09/25 02:53 AM ET
Not to argue
3Manysons • 12/08/25 08:56 PM ET
Lol**
Gobbler-100 • 12/08/25 08:12 PM ET
You're right. Their admin and fan base is so intolerant of everyone.
Coattail Hokie • 12/08/25 08:04 PM ET
You have no earthly idea of what youre talking about. But go on.**

My Dad, brother, niece went to Notre Dame
VaTechie • 12/08/25 09:25 PM ET
Quit acting like a Wahoo.
Coattail Hokie • 12/08/25 08:17 PM ET
It does in their case because of the exclusive rights.
MKD • 12/08/25 07:41 PM ET
None of that really would be a true financial impediment to joining

Than "many" big ten teams. Im not talking about the bottom feeders.**
VT2ND • 12/08/25 08:00 PM ET
And if they never won another game in any sport a lot of folks
RJHokie • 12/08/25 07:49 PM ET
And they'd still be ranked preseason.**
