Year after year SMU pony. You know I'm right with games

against Cuse, BC, Wake, NCSU, Virginia, and others that will go unnamed. The ACC is fortunate to have ND games. It's one of the reasons you have the media contract you currently have. Why some here don't see that is beyond my comprehension.

Wow , Michigan doubles down on leaving the Big 10

If I were Jim Phillips I would fly to Ann Arbor for a few days.
Truthahn • 11/19/25 01:35 PM ET
People may think he's being proactive in applying for the new associate AD
HouClone • 11/20/25 02:32 PM ET
LOL! Take a trip to LA too...lol**
EDGEMAN • 11/19/25 05:23 PM ET
I think this is more Michigan nixing the PE deal than planning to leave.

Yeah, it's a power play. They want to make sure they are getting what

Meeechigan has no intention of leaving the B1X.**
EDGEMAN • 11/19/25 08:02 AM ET
Amazing how little regard some schools have for their Conference Brand
Vippie1 • 11/18/25 02:18 PM ET
I think that, deep down, all schools are like that**
TerryD • 11/18/25 03:50 PM ET
They are not leaving
HokiesACC2004 • 11/18/25 10:34 AM ET
Agree. ~0% chance Michigan leaves Big10.**
cincyhokie • 11/20/25 11:42 AM ET
*after the grant of rights. They'll work it out before then.**
reestuart • 11/18/25 09:53 AM ET
I would think Fox would push back
1947Sunbowl • 11/17/25 11:25 PM ET
Note this would be after the Fox contract would end.
Sunsetunderground • 11/18/25 11:00 AM ET
AI says you're correct Big Ten Conference's media rights expire in 2030,
anotherdamnyankeehokie • 11/19/25 06:45 AM ET
Grant of rights is 2036.**

Mich and USC claim this new program, breaks the agreement

You have no clue.....

I think Indy football + ACC non football membership is financially viable
RandomAsianGuy • 11/17/25 10:15 PM ET
I wanted this for Texas back just after ND joined the ACC.
Truthahn • 11/19/25 01:44 PM ET
I agree with the concept. The non revs however, will naturally want a
Big12 guy • 11/19/25 03:17 PM ET
They are watching ND play 2-3 hard games a year stay healthier than most
Stech • 11/17/25 09:31 PM ET
The Big Ten is full of tomato cans
TerryD • 11/18/25 12:12 PM ET
I don't think Maryland has thrived there at all.
HOO86 • 11/18/25 08:46 PM ET
B1G has Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State, Indiana, Oregon, Wisconsin in the
Stech • 11/18/25 07:45 PM ET
Stech, ND is the One-and-Only. They are treated differently than
33laszlo99 • 11/18/25 10:30 PM ET
Some good points, I’m just making the point that ND works the system and
Stech • 11/18/25 10:53 PM ET
Lol, "tomato cans"**
TerryD • 11/19/25 03:18 PM ET
Same thing. :-)**
Stech • 11/19/25 03:28 PM ET
I keep saying that any school can be an independent
TerryD • 11/19/25 03:14 PM ET
Be careful what you ask for.**
Stech • 11/19/25 03:27 PM ET
I would love 15-20 football independents
TerryD • 11/20/25 01:47 PM ET
I concur**
Big12 guy • 11/20/25 02:48 PM ET
True. ND knows how to operate.**
33laszlo99 • 11/19/25 08:44 AM ET
Excellent use of the term "tomato can"**
mancunian • 11/18/25 02:36 PM ET
ND's weak schedule is because of the ACC games. **
Big12 guy • 11/18/25 11:19 AM ET
It’s only 5 games, can’t put it on that.**
Stech • 11/18/25 07:38 PM ET
You could if those 5 games were tough games. **
Big12 guy • 11/18/25 07:41 PM ET
I'd say Miami was a tough game for them**
SMU Pony • 11/18/25 08:17 PM ET
They have 7 other games, you don't want to see it, so fine.**
Stech • 11/18/25 08:15 PM ET
No, I don't see it. Historically, and schedule in the future show
Big12 guy • 11/19/25 09:49 AM ET
Okay they scheduled 3 this year and they are 1-2.**
Stech • 11/19/25 09:52 AM ET
So? Are you saying they shouldn't go to the playoffs? If
Big12 guy • 11/19/25 09:55 AM ET
I am saying they should play 8-9 hard games like the SEC does, but that's
Stech • 11/19/25 10:00 AM ET
To be fair, the SEC does not play 8-9 hard games every year...
SMU Pony • 11/20/25 06:20 PM ET
4-5 traditional top powers and 4-5 good schools is the normal in the SEC,
Stech • 11/20/25 06:29 PM ET
Why? Shouldn't that apply to KU and VT as well? **
Big12 guy • 11/19/25 10:02 AM ET
Do both, but at least 4-5 traditional powers a year. This isn't just for ND
Stech • 11/19/25 10:09 AM ET
I agree with that. You seem to have an issue with the
Big12 guy • 11/19/25 10:15 AM ET
That is my primary issue, that's why I keep saying it's not on ND. Until I
Stech • 11/19/25 10:58 AM ET
Right, because Purdue and Arkansas were so tough this year
SMU Pony • 11/18/25 05:45 PM ET
Year after year SMU pony. You know I'm right with games ◄
Big12 guy • 11/18/25 07:21 PM ET
And ND is fortunate to have a partnership with the ACC
SMU Pony • 11/18/25 07:55 PM ET
No need, the schedules are fine
TerryD • 11/18/25 07:18 AM ET
ND is 1-2 against currently ranked teams, that SOS criteria needs work.
Stech • 11/18/25 09:54 AM ET
How many ranked teams have OSU and Indiana faced in the mighty Big Ten?**
SMU Pony • 11/18/25 05:46 PM ET
This year, or all time? IU has a road victory against Oregon. **
Big12 guy • 11/18/25 07:33 PM ET
What I said was.....
