It's not all about playoff access.

For ND, branding and perception are very important. ND fans are starting to blame the ACC for their weak SOS.

Interesting ND article centering around the ACC and ND relationship**
goldendomer • 02/06/26 05:26 PM ET
Just consider who's been saying this is exactly what's going to happen-
Baltimore_Hokie • 02/10/26 11:58 AM ET
Lots of dumb **
SpeakToDamien • 02/08/26 07:53 PM ET
This thread is funny.
HokieAl • 02/08/26 01:30 PM ET
Just a rehash of the same tired nonsense
Tailgate Guru • 02/08/26 10:12 AM ET
The only thing I’ll disagree with
RVAHokie05 • 02/08/26 03:22 PM ET
Big East is perfect for ND
Millpoint • 02/08/26 09:45 AM ET
Perfect except for money. **
RandomAsianGuy • 02/08/26 12:55 PM ET
ND will find a way
Millpoint • 02/10/26 01:12 PM ET
Some would say even that is perfect for Notre Dame**
VTHokie2000 • 02/09/26 10:07 PM ET
Totally believable. But it just buttresses the argument that ND
Vippie1 • 02/07/26 11:53 AM ET
I think that ND is genuinely torqued at the ACC management
TerryD • 02/07/26 12:01 PM ET
I think the ACC management is torqued at ND's moves since they joined
EDGEMAN • 02/09/26 09:17 AM ET
ND could not possibly be that dumb, it’s not possible.**
Stech • 02/07/26 05:26 PM ET
I'm sure ND is torqued, but agree, they shouldn't be.**
Atlee Hokie • 02/07/26 01:23 PM ET
OK, so they're "genuinely torqued." So? If they think they're getting
saret • 02/07/26 12:24 PM ET
I think that they may be**
TerryD • 02/07/26 01:40 PM ET
Okay. I wish them the best of luck. I'm sure they'll do what they think
saret • 02/07/26 02:05 PM ET
Jim ND Phillips will let ND out with no penalties, that’s the goal here!!!!
Stech • 02/07/26 05:27 AM ET
SEC and B1G wont "bow" but money talks
Vippie1 • 02/07/26 04:44 PM ET
No worries with the BE deal
Vippie1 • 02/07/26 01:05 PM ET
I saw we hold ND to their word.**
EDGEMAN • 02/07/26 09:41 AM ET
I'm sure ND is looking for an option. The SOS is a real concern.
RandomAsianGuy • 02/06/26 11:28 PM ET
SOS isn't a concern for ND
EDGEMAN • 02/07/26 11:47 AM ET
It's not all about playoff access. ◄
RandomAsianGuy • 02/07/26 12:55 PM ET
That is a better argument in years when they beat all of us.**
Truthahn • 02/08/26 05:13 PM ET
They only play a handful of games against ACC teams. Why aren't they...
EDGEMAN • 02/07/26 01:04 PM ET
6 ACC games a year now
TerryD • 02/07/26 01:41 PM ET
I am with you. My point is ND is trying to get out because of SOS and
RandomAsianGuy • 02/07/26 01:13 PM ET
So they want their own refs. Who do they think they are, the
manassashoo • 02/06/26 08:21 PM ET
That is a student reporter at the school newspaper
TerryD • 02/07/26 07:00 AM ET
That small blurb in The Athletic should not have prompted such a robust
33laszlo99 • 02/07/26 11:41 AM ET
Two reporters
TerryD • 02/07/26 11:58 AM ET
Who is the B10 reporter? Do you count Flug as a reporter?**
RandomAsianGuy • 02/07/26 12:58 PM ET
No, it was an Iowa beat reporter
TerryD • 02/07/26 01:42 PM ET
Please leave.**
Atlee Hokie • 02/06/26 07:20 PM ET
Yeah…whatever. The ACC will be fine regardless.**
VT ChemE 1986 • 02/06/26 07:06 PM ET
i agree, leave who cares**
VT Pez4Life • 02/09/26 09:13 AM ET
If they choose to leave, don't let the door hit'em where the
saret • 02/06/26 07:03 PM ET
Isn't that what ACC fans have wanted/still want?
TerryD • 02/07/26 12:04 PM ET
No beef from me.**
Atlee Hokie • 02/07/26 01:13 PM ET
Can't speak for all ACC fans. I'm "meh" on ND one way or the
saret • 02/07/26 12:19 PM ET
I'm definitely not "meh" WRT ND. I despise them as an athletic ...
Atlee Hokie • 02/07/26 12:50 PM ET
ND should do it...
2hhoop3 • 02/06/26 06:00 PM ET
Yeah. And if they get a partial deal with either of the P2, does ND think
Maroon Baboon • 02/06/26 08:02 PM ET
Neither one of the P2......
2hhoop3 • 02/06/26 08:16 PM ET
The SEC is adding a 9th conference game, and there is talk of a scheduling
Maroon Baboon • 02/06/26 08:28 PM ET
The SEC specifically named ND as an option......
TerryD • 02/07/26 08:06 AM ET
This is exactly right. SEC and B1G both have much at stake if ND makes any
33laszlo99 • 02/07/26 11:07 AM ET
Stable "LaGrange Point"
TerryD • 02/07/26 11:42 AM ET
ND writer assumes the SEC and B1G want to enter a scheduling agreement w/ND
Maroon Baboon • 02/06/26 05:52 PM ET
Notre Dame can kiss me squarely on my butt.**
Atlee Hokie • 02/06/26 10:26 PM ET
Interestingly, Flug is talking about this right now
TerryD • 02/06/26 06:16 PM ET
Yes. I think it’s credible that ND would want a partial deal with B10/SEC.
RandomAsianGuy • 02/06/26 11:32 PM ET
That is not what Flugaur is saying
TerryD • 02/07/26 07:02 AM ET
I know what he said. But
RandomAsianGuy • 02/07/26 12:54 PM ET
No problem with partial membership
TerryD • 02/07/26 01:43 PM ET
Technically ND can stay with the ACC and do a 5 game schedule with the B10.
RandomAsianGuy • 02/07/26 03:13 PM ET
I'll give a listen. There is rumblings happening **
goldendomer • 02/06/26 06:31 PM ET
Our beat writers are still saying it is fine in public, but not behind the
