I think your analysis........

probably overlooks timing and composition differences in travel. It is completely different traveling mid season than it it is first or last game. The nature of the opponent factors in as well, in your most recent long trip you return to tee it up with Tennessee State which is markedly different than an in conference game. ND does travel and it is the nature of their independence, however, that same independence affords them greater flexibility in scheduling to minimize/manage the impact of travel.

If CalFord happens will peace reign with realignment
goldendomer • 08/26/23 10:08 PM ET
Yes. For about 7 years.
HOO86 • 08/27/23 06:13 PM ET
Not adding them would have the same result, because it doesn't fix anything
Vienna_Hokie • 08/27/23 11:57 AM ET
Mostly yes I think so
HokieAl • 08/27/23 09:32 AM ET
Adding 3 more "deadwood" teams will build dissatisfaction within the ACC
EDGEMAN • 08/27/23 05:03 AM ET
No, the exact opposite
TerryD • 08/27/23 08:38 AM ET
Sure, an ACC that won't be worth crap for football, but ND won't care
Vienna_Hokie • 08/27/23 11:44 AM ET
Ahh
MrFantastic! • 08/27/23 10:47 AM ET
Yeah, so many folks think it will be easy to just leave the ACC...
Old Line Hokie • 08/27/23 11:33 AM ET
Boy, so negative. SMU does care about football not sure about the other 2.
VTNSC • 08/27/23 07:48 AM ET
Winning a road game after traveling across the country in regular season
OrlandoHokie • 08/27/23 12:07 PM ET
ND travels to California every year in late November
TerryD • 08/27/23 11:35 PM ET
I think your analysis........ ◄
2hhoop3 • 08/28/23 11:42 AM ET
Doesn't matter if they care, no one cares about them
Vienna_Hokie • 08/27/23 11:38 AM ET
I will wait for numbers. It will be different for them too. Who knows who
VTNSC • 08/27/23 11:53 AM ET
The SEC does expect to have players as "official" employees.
33laszlo99 • 08/27/23 10:47 AM ET
It’s not about making the ACC stronger
Millpoint • 08/27/23 08:47 AM ET
LOL, ND has a presence in all 50 states, they have a national TV contract
Vienna_Hokie • 08/27/23 11:46 AM ET
Really ? ND can go to Texas any time it wants to. They have National **
VTNSC • 08/27/23 09:56 AM ET
There’s already 100% dissatisfaction. We have a Forest of deadwood.
hokieZ71 • 08/27/23 07:27 AM ET
I feel that “forest of deadwood” is also in the P2, but…
HOKIEGOBBLE • 08/27/23 11:04 AM ET
The B1G do a good job with ratings. So does the SEC.
HOO86 • 08/27/23 06:22 PM ET
Spot on!**
Stech • 08/27/23 07:30 PM ET
That might be the best summary of the ACC I have ever read**
obguthr • 08/27/23 09:35 AM ET
I don't think this will satisfy FSU wanting to close the money gap.
Maroon Baboon • 08/26/23 11:48 PM ET
And guess what they are still locked in till 2036
Mercury • 08/27/23 08:14 AM ET
The money gap will widen.**
EDGEMAN • 08/27/23 07:28 AM ET
If Notre Dame adds a 6th ACC game & FSU votes for it, probably, if not
Stech • 08/26/23 10:45 PM ET
Too much to be settled before 2026. In Dallas, August 30, the CFP mgt.
33laszlo99 • 08/26/23 11:12 PM ET
If you’re talking about Wed’s meeting, it’ll be interesting 2 see results
Stech • 08/26/23 11:36 PM ET
It could.......
2hhoop3 • 08/26/23 10:36 PM ET
What exactly does the 2026 ESPN look-in entail?
BAMRising • 08/26/23 11:39 PM ET
The addition of three schools who have little interest in football means...
EDGEMAN • 08/27/23 05:12 AM ET
Inflation is so high, that would actually be great.
Truthahn • 08/27/23 02:09 PM ET
If ESPN isn't in the ongoing discussions, there shouldn't be any**
