It's not that. After the announced

scheduling agreement with Clemson, I'm wondering if ND is filling out it's schedule in case something happens to the ACC. The Stanford game they announced is for the last game of the season - a West Coast Game like they had with USC. Anytime ND plays an ACC school, or any school for that matter, is good for that school. I am more interested in how it works with the uneven distribution part that are based on viewership. Does Stanford get a bump in ACC payouts based on being in prime time against ND every year? I know where you stand with the B12 - but comparing the conferences is almost silly at this point. We all see it, and 2030 should bring some changes to the ACC. I am paying particular attention to the conference distributions to the individual schools, and the formula that the ACC uses. Uneven distributions may be the only way the smaller privates or other G5's will ever have a shot of playing the "P4" schools.

I don't think the ACC is involved in the ND - Stanford scheduling

My understanding is that when Stanford would have come up in the rotation-

This is not a good thing for VT. It's only "good" for ND and Stanford.

Ha, thanks for thinking about VT.
RandomAsianGuy • 05/21/26 10:56 PM ET
What's your point? The deal is between ND and Stanford, not ND and the ACC.
Baltimore_Hokie • 05/22/26 11:29 AM ET
My point?

ND wanted Stanford on the schedule either way because ND considers Stanford

ND likes those West Coast games. USC
