There could be more motivation than the CFP Committee Snub

This AD came from NBC Sports. Perhaps NBC is pushing him to get ND away from ESPN. If they go to the Big East NBC shows Big East games I believe. It was Jack Swarbrick who saw the value in the ACC. Don't really know much about this man.

Lawyer speak statement from Phillips.

You realize that the ACC had nothing to do with the committee decision?
VT ChemE 1986 • 12/08/25 07:42 PM ET
I doubt you or ND.......

It is entertaining, I must admit. You, however, still

If ND doesn't like the current deal, then take all your teams ...
Atlee Hokie • 12/08/25 06:56 PM ET
Pal, you’re wearing out your welcome here**
Tailgate Guru • 12/08/25 06:40 PM ET
Please pin point what the ACC said. This looks like an escape clause excuse
Stech • 12/08/25 05:17 PM ET
why are they mad at ACC, Alabama got in with 3 losses 1 to FSU
1947Sunbowl • 12/08/25 05:54 PM ET
Still think they're just posturing to get more control of the schedule
daveinop • 12/08/25 06:35 PM ET
I think they want to leave the Conference without exit fees, we will see.**

HOO86 • 12/08/25 09:21 PM ET
That follows the behavior they are showing, they’re looking for an excuse,
Stech • 12/08/25 09:42 PM ET
They are now in here with the best academic group other than the Ivy League
HOO86 • 12/08/25 11:09 PM ET
Possible but probably not. **
RandomAsianGuy • 12/08/25 06:16 PM ET
What do you think their end game is for doing this? Get Phillips fired?**
Stech • 12/08/25 06:30 PM ET
more control of the contract schedule
daveinop • 12/08/25 06:42 PM ET
Agree.....
2hhoop3 • 12/08/25 07:30 PM ET
That’s entirely possible, this is a negotiating ploy of some type.**
Stech • 12/08/25 07:09 PM ET
I will post it in a minute. **
RandomAsianGuy • 12/08/25 06:38 PM ET
That would be ironic
SMU Pony • 12/08/25 06:31 PM ET
Hard 2 imagine a P4 commish that would ever do more 2 help ND than Phillips
Stech • 12/08/25 06:34 PM ET
There is zero chance ND would join the Big 12
SMU Pony • 12/08/25 06:37 PM ET
I don't think they want SEC either.
HOO86 • 12/08/25 11:36 PM ET
And go where?
SMU Pony • 12/08/25 05:59 PM ET
Unless the networks and B1G and ND
Vippie1 • 12/08/25 06:16 PM ET
Yes it's likely a rouse to get out of the ACC with no exit fees, they will
Stech • 12/08/25 06:29 PM ET
5 years ago no. But they got the Prezs fine with breaking up the Pac

Agree. Appease the subway alumni, good hoops conference, private-Catholic
HwoodHokie • 12/08/25 07:56 PM ET
So they'll give up ~$12M per year to go from ACC to Big East? **
SMU Pony • 12/08/25 06:05 PM ET
What hit did SMU take to leave the AAC? remember, ND has
Big12 guy • 12/08/25 07:48 PM ET
I believe the exit fee was $17M to leave the American
SMU Pony • 12/08/25 08:04 PM ET
For other sports yes, they are watching SMU take no media $$, it's chump
Stech • 12/08/25 06:12 PM ET
Taking a $12M annual haircut to join a worse conference would be a decision**
SMU Pony • 12/08/25 06:13 PM ET
It's about the cost of a haircut to them, just like it is to SMU. plus they

HtH matters as a tie breaker. SMU and BYU were not tied last year. **
RandomAsianGuy • 12/08/25 06:07 PM ET
Yes they were. **
Big12 guy • 12/08/25 07:36 PM ET
We now need to claim 93 as our own championship**

Why Not. UCF is Claiming 2017.

Big12 guy • 12/08/25 05:38 PM ET
I was referring to last season, since you brought up the SMU/BYU H2H**
SMU Pony • 12/08/25 05:41 PM ET
Yes, and your assertion that they were 11-1 in the regular season, with
Big12 guy • 12/08/25 05:45 PM ET
H2H should control with everything else being relatively equal
SMU Pony • 12/08/25 05:49 PM ET
Huh, seems to me you are not consistent. **
Big12 guy • 12/08/25 05:51 PM ET
