LOL, they'd never do this.

Notre Dame's ceiling with a schedule like that is 7-5.

What does Notre Dame really want?
RandomAsianGuy • 12/08/25 06:42 PM ET
The faux anger is just a convenient cover story
Tailgate Guru • 12/09/25 06:55 AM ET
The anger is far from faux**
TerryD • 12/09/25 07:35 AM ET
How about misplaced?**
reestuart • 12/09/25 09:04 AM ET
“Contrived” then - irrational in any event **
Tailgate Guru • 12/09/25 08:29 AM ET
ND, the institution, and......
2hhoop3 • 12/09/25 09:15 AM ET
It's disappointing. I don't have anything against ND. I really like
reestuart • 12/09/25 09:33 AM ET
I agree on Freeman.....
2hhoop3 • 12/09/25 09:43 AM ET
I hope Notre Dame stays independent. Play this 12 team schedule every year
OrlandoHokie • 12/08/25 11:51 PM ET

Baltimore_Hokie • 12/09/25 10:36 AM ET
Attention. Worship. And money of course.**

Atlee Hokie • 12/08/25 10:33 PM ET
SportsWire published a story about the possibilities
VTChip • 12/08/25 08:43 PM ET
USA Today covering ANY SPORT, esp. college football. is CLICKBAIT!!!**
ancient alien 2018 • 12/08/25 09:36 PM ET
Kinda reads like clickbait.**
RJHokie • 12/08/25 08:46 PM ET
Maybe, but I can't get past the "permanent damage" comment
VTChip • 12/08/25 08:57 PM ET
Will be interesting to see what they consider “permanent damage”.
RJHokie • 12/08/25 09:01 PM ET
Their just being peevish. They whine about everything.**
saret • 12/08/25 09:18 PM ET
Sounds lawyerish. **
saret • 12/08/25 08:59 PM ET
The legalese would be "material breach."**
Baltimore_Hokie • 12/09/25 10:46 AM ET
You're right, if he were in court. But, this was a PR whining.
saret • 12/09/25 10:56 AM ET
Agreed. Possibly laying the groundwork for the next step**
VTChip • 12/08/25 09:06 PM ET
Could be. Let'm. I'll repeat, "Don't let the door hit you in the ass on
saret • 12/08/25 10:04 PM ET
1 is all that will satisfy the fan base. We’re done
goldendomer • 12/08/25 08:10 PM ET
You want to leave the ACC? Get in line, brother. Welcome to the club.**
Baltimore_Hokie • 12/09/25 10:47 AM ET
Then pay your exit fee & go destroy another conference, Big East ACC, next?**
Stech • 12/09/25 07:14 AM ET
That's a good way to make even more schools & people hate ND
EDGEMAN • 12/09/25 06:26 AM ET
How does it feel to be one ring leaders demise college athletics?
MrFantastic! • 12/09/25 05:58 AM ET
I'm sure the Patriot League will take you for other sports
HokiesACC2004 • 12/09/25 05:16 AM ET
LOL!**
Gobbler-100 • 12/08/25 11:39 PM ET
I welcome ND leaving ACC. It can't happen soon enough.**
Atlee Hokie • 12/08/25 09:40 PM ET
Even if they could break GOR where are your non revs going?
RTFC • 12/08/25 09:20 PM ET
The Big East. C'mon people. Let's use our thinking caps here.
Baltimore_Hokie • 12/09/25 11:06 AM ET
Big East doesn't play football and yes almost every school wants to
RTFC • 12/09/25 02:16 PM ET
Would they then play UConn home and home?
Truthahn • 12/09/25 12:01 PM ET
I don't think they'd turn up their nose at a H-H with UConn under-
Baltimore_Hokie • 12/09/25 12:06 PM ET
Great. Pay the massive exit fee and hit the bricks.**
SMU Pony • 12/08/25 08:30 PM ET
We have one of the best law school’s in the country and the ACC is in
goldendomer • 12/08/25 08:37 PM ET
Get outta here. The ACC has the following law schools ranked above ND
HokieNeal • 12/09/25 10:56 AM ET
LOL, storied ACC members Stanford and Cal.
Baltimore_Hokie • 12/09/25 11:08 AM ET
How about you actually read my comment
HokieNeal • 12/09/25 12:32 PM ET
The point remains. Why even include them in making your point?**
Baltimore_Hokie • 12/09/25 12:35 PM ET
No good law schools in the ACC, so this should be a slam dunk. LOL.**
reestuart • 12/09/25 09:06 AM ET
Especially when the most obvious claim is ND’s breach of the bowl contract **
Tailgate Guru • 12/09/25 09:17 AM ET
Yeah, that's what I think. ND is the only one with the breach
reestuart • 12/09/25 09:30 AM ET
The mere fact you went here
RTFC • 12/09/25 08:36 AM ET
Why does law school ranking matter at all whatsoever here?
Baltimore_Hokie • 12/09/25 11:10 AM ET
Of course not, I was pointing out the arrogance and ignorance
RTFC • 12/09/25 02:16 PM ET
Probably nothing as you say.
RJHokie • 12/09/25 11:22 AM ET
The one thing Notre Dame should fear is litigation
Tailgate Guru • 12/09/25 06:58 AM ET
Happy Trails **
HokiesACC2004 • 12/09/25 05:17 AM ET
Do they teach how to use apostrophes in that law school?
North Main Hokie • 12/09/25 12:55 AM ET
or... to versus too....**
RTFC • 12/09/25 01:08 AM ET
We'll book you a slot on Creighton's msg board so you can try...
Gobbler-100 • 12/08/25 11:43 PM ET
Pray tell was this so called breach?**
Atlee Hokie • 12/08/25 10:19 PM ET
I guess we will find out tomorrow……
RJHokie • 12/08/25 10:25 PM ET
ND ranked #20 tied with Minnesota in this ranking….**
RJHokie • 12/08/25 09:45 PM ET
UVA, Duke and UNC law schools are ranked ahead of ND**
VT ChemE 1986 • 12/08/25 08:54 PM ET
Bye! Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out**
saret • 12/08/25 08:51 PM ET
Lol at best law school making a difference
SpeakToDamien • 12/08/25 08:43 PM ET
I know it's not gospel, but I see 6 law schools ranked ahead of ND in ACC.**
reestuart • 12/09/25 09:08 AM ET
You have to excuse ....
2hhoop3 • 12/08/25 09:38 PM ET
He's been "Rudyfied", meaning a whining, begging *****!!
ancient alien 2018 • 12/08/25 10:03 PM ET
We've all been there one time or another. What heat ND is taking is
saret • 12/08/25 10:03 PM ET
Assuming that is true...is that a potential GOR breaker?
HokieAl • 12/08/25 08:43 PM ET
They haven't, they're just throwing a hissy fit **
SMU Pony • 12/08/25 08:50 PM ET
"Material breach" hahaha**
SMU Pony • 12/08/25 08:39 PM ET
Do you REALLY think the exit fee is massive? We all know
Big12 guy • 12/08/25 08:34 PM ET
Notre Dame could come up with the exit fee tomorrow if they wanted to.
Baltimore_Hokie • 12/09/25 11:13 AM ET
I think my point is that ND's exit fee is based on their Olympics, and
Big12 guy • 12/09/25 11:55 AM ET
Correct - I just looked, and they pay 1/3 of the current $165m exit penalty
Baltimore_Hokie • 12/09/25 11:58 AM ET
OK, so those clamoring for them to pay the exit fee and leave
Big12 guy • 12/09/25 12:21 PM ET
It doesn't matter anyway, man - the ACC is dead man walking, and pretty-
Baltimore_Hokie • 12/09/25 12:25 PM ET
I hope you are right. growing up in Indiana, and my
Big12 guy • 12/08/25 08:30 PM ET
You keep repeating this garbage about ND being
RVAHokie05 • 12/09/25 03:05 AM ET
Again, "Buh bye."**
saret • 12/08/25 10:06 PM ET
#3 see my posts in the thread below**
daveinop • 12/08/25 07:41 PM ET
This makes sense. #3 it is.**
VT ChemE 1986 • 12/08/25 07:35 PM ET
All the public comments are definitely calculated. ND is not rash
HokieAl • 12/08/25 07:35 PM ET
ACC isn't in weak negotiating position. ND won't give ACC what it needs
daveinop • 12/08/25 07:46 PM ET
Are you under the impression that less guaranteed football games vs. ND is-
Baltimore_Hokie • 12/09/25 11:46 AM ET
Obviously not; but that isn't on the table
daveinop • 12/09/25 03:42 PM ET
ND gives ACC teams significant boosts in tv viewership and attendance
HokieAl • 12/08/25 07:54 PM ET
Half of the ACC, VT included, has one foot out the door
daveinop • 12/09/25 07:44 AM ET
In theory, yes
RTFC • 12/09/25 01:03 AM ET
Any team that schedules ND should agree that ND comes to them or no game.
laphroaig • 12/09/25 01:25 PM ET
Teams want the $/exposure.
RTFC • 12/09/25 02:19 PM ET
Home games are more profitable to teams at the P4 level aren't they?
laphroaig • 12/09/25 02:29 PM ET
Works for me ;)**
RTFC • 12/09/25 02:35 PM ET
Any program will schedule ND any time they're available to do so.
Baltimore_Hokie • 12/09/25 11:47 AM ET
If they can play anybody/anytime then why did ND ever sign a long term
RTFC • 12/09/25 02:16 PM ET
That's all well and good. All I'm saying is that ND has 90% of the leverage
Baltimore_Hokie • 12/09/25 02:43 PM ET
Don't think they have that much leverage.
RTFC • 12/09/25 02:51 PM ET
Name one single (just one) ACC school that would not
Big12 guy • 12/08/25 08:37 PM ET
Big12guy, you might better sit this one out
Tailgate Guru • 12/09/25 07:30 AM ET
I have no desire for ND to be associated with
Big12 guy • 12/09/25 07:45 AM ET
But when? Do you think SEC teams will want ND on their schedule ...
Atlee Hokie • 12/09/25 06:34 AM ET
Yes. They would.
Baltimore_Hokie • 12/09/25 11:54 AM ET
Oh all of the ACC schools want to schedule ND
HokieAl • 12/08/25 08:42 PM ET
We agree. **
Big12 guy • 12/08/25 08:42 PM ET
Are we sure ND doesn't have to worry about filling their schedule?
SMU Pony • 12/08/25 08:06 PM ET
Replacing the ACC with the top of the P2 will not be easy for them.
Truthahn • 12/09/25 12:07 PM ET
They do have to worry about scheduling strong late season games IMO. **
RandomAsianGuy • 12/08/25 10:59 PM ET
Yeah, that’s going to be rough.
RJHokie • 12/08/25 11:02 PM ET
They do have to worry.
HOO86 • 12/08/25 10:05 PM ET
ND doesn't seem worried, do they?**
TerryD • 12/09/25 07:40 AM ET
This guy doesn't seem to.
HOO86 • 12/09/25 07:42 AM ET
I don't think ND is worried. I do think ND is feigning injury
daveinop • 12/09/25 07:53 AM ET
If you dig a bit deeper, it was the BIG that put a kibosh on the game. **
Big12 guy • 12/08/25 08:31 PM ET
They lost their PO spot to Bama, and blame the ACC? “Permanent Damage” is
Stech • 12/08/25 07:27 PM ET
In that case, the ACC should sue ND for punitive damages.
EDGEMAN • 12/09/25 06:32 AM ET
I understand why you are saying Phillips should sue ND 1st, but his kids go
Stech • 12/09/25 06:43 AM ET
So the ACC commish might need to recuse himself in a court case between
laphroaig • 12/09/25 01:37 PM ET
Correct. It's always about money with ND.
Gobbler-100 • 12/08/25 08:07 PM ET
It is about money for every single school**
TerryD • 12/09/25 07:41 AM ET
then you aren't surprised the ACC pushed for Miami in the CFP**
daveinop • 12/09/25 07:57 AM ET
BINGO!**
RTFC • 12/09/25 02:34 PM ET
Quite right, and it should be for the ACC as well
