THere is NO deal at all
There brand is independent football, and they are doing financially very very well. There is no reason for any change.
There will always be schools that would be willing to play ND at any cost.
ND other sports need a conference and ACC fits. ACC simply agreed to allow them to join for all sports except football on the contingent that 5 ACC teams get to play ND a year. Simple as that.
For everybody else, its not good they get special treatment, but guess what they can due to the national brand and investment that media has in ND. Simple as that. And also if conferences decided that only conference members are allowed to play in the tourney. that is set up for a MAJOR lawsuit.
It is what it is

Would you do this deal to make ND the 18th team in the ACC?
