Once FSU exits, Notre Dame will follow

Although I have had some confusion with different people about the ACC GoR and ND football. ND football is not a member of the ACC and so they are free to leave. It's all other sports that carry that exit fee. At least that is what I have gathered from ESPN reports. Being intertwined in all sports with the ACC is a little more complicated in terms of the legal ramifications despite ND having their name on the same GoR that every other member has signed. But there can be no discussion of where ND goes without discussing all sports. I believe ND has a home for all sports at the Big East. It's no coincidence NBC just signed a deal to televise Big East hoops games. ND football can get a guaranteed partial B1G schedule (possibly SEC as well) for the right price. Obviously, ND because of its following has many options as always, but joining a P2 in all sports but football is not one of them thankfully. The ND old guard still wants football Independence. I don't see them budging until forced to do so down the road when money and better CFP inclusion does the talking.

TerryD 06/20/24 03:27 PM ET
Interesting he would say that. Probably means the prognosticators hinting

2hhoop3 06/20/24 03:36 PM ET
My opinion is ND is going to continue "monitoring the landscape"
TerryD 06/19/24 07:13 PM ET
Other sports
INSIDE99 06/19/24 08:40 PM ET

Its not just the "old guard"
TerryD 06/20/24 12:51 PM ET
Are you saying ND will join a P2 right after FSU leaves, or are you saying
Stech 06/20/24 09:26 AM ET
I believe that he is saying the latter
TerryD 06/20/24 12:51 PM ET
I would like to hear from him too, but both have a lot of games to schedule
Stech 06/20/24 02:51 PM ET
Irish only have 2 options
INSIDE99 06/20/24 07:40 PM ET
I’m not saying nor do I believe the P2 offers all sports but 🏈, but will
Stech 06/21/24 08:28 AM ET
Thanks here is what I think about the Irish situation right now,**
Stech 06/20/24 08:11 PM ET
The "word" is ....
TerryD 06/20/24 03:20 PM ET
Yep
INSIDE99 06/20/24 11:20 PM ET
ND can’t play football in a P2 conference & play other sports in the ACC…
BROman Hokie 06/20/24 12:13 AM ET
ND can be an independent in football and in the Big East for other sports**
TerryD 06/20/24 07:41 AM ET
Does the Big East sponsor as many sports as ND plays?**
Atlee Hokie 06/20/24 05:54 PM ET
Haven't looked but from 1995-2012 it did
TerryD 06/21/24 08:26 AM ET
They could also go to the B12 for a larger payout, and remain independent.
Big12 guy 06/20/24 08:23 AM ET
3 more ND games in the ACC was never going to save the conference. The ACC
Stech 06/20/24 04:05 PM ET
I would pencil that out before I would come to conclusions. The B12

Enough value to move the needle?**
HokiesACC2004 06/20/24 12:38 AM ET
No, but for many institutions in the ACC, maintaining the needle
Big12 guy 06/20/24 06:33 AM ET
Adding Gonzaga is second rate. Glad the BigXII didn't bite on that one.**
Maroon Baboon 06/20/24 12:05 AM ET
Agree, Big 12 realized that would be a poor choice and could do better !**
FLKEYSHOKIE 06/20/24 11:41 PM ET
Me too, but at the time, the PAC was intact (mostly), and while
