..."ND/NBC seem to have no interest in spreading the power and money"
Switch around what you are suggesting ND should do and tell me the ACC would do that.
"We want the ACC to voluntarily decline getting an automatic bid so that ND gets more at large chances. We want the ACC to strongly support this idea."
Why wouldn't the ACC favor that?
Why not? Wouldn't that be "spreading the power and money" ??
Shouldn't the ACC get behind this idea for the good of the game?
(You are asking a non-ACC football member to support a system that favors the ACC but weakens its own playoff chances,.....because why, exactly?)
