Mostly that people......

continue to kiss the ring and grant power and standing equivalent to a conference to a program that for the vast majority, if not entirety, of the last 30 years leans much more to mediocre than powerhouse. Appears the charade will now be prolonged until at least 2029.

Notre Dame and NBC renewing their deal today.
Roanokie • 11/18/23 02:32 PM ET
Any news on how many B1G games they’ll play each year to get this contract?**
Stech • 11/20/23 09:48 AM ET
There are no such requirements in the new NBC deal
TerryD • 11/22/23 12:42 PM ET
Thanks, have a link on that?**
Stech • 11/22/23 07:09 PM ET
A link to a negative ??
TerryD • 11/22/23 10:17 PM ET
A link to the agreement information, that’s not even close to a negative.**
Stech • 11/23/23 12:13 AM ET
Big 10's primary contract is not with NBC
mrcaniac • 11/21/23 01:41 PM ET
Good information, I still wonder why NBC paid so much more, it has to be
Stech • 11/21/23 08:01 PM ET
ND is the fourth highest viewed team in the country this year
TerryD • 11/22/23 10:59 AM ET
An objective comparison would be ND versus 18 B1G teams & 16 SEC teams, but
Stech • 11/22/23 08:48 PM ET
What??**
TerryD • 11/22/23 10:17 PM ET
They draw viewers
mrcaniac • 11/21/23 11:23 PM ET
It gives them a very solid lead up game to their prime time slot.
reestuart • 11/22/23 08:52 AM ET
Getting Notre Dame in the Big10 probably means fewer games for NBC
mrcaniac • 11/22/23 02:07 PM ET
Very true**
reestuart • 11/22/23 02:15 PM ET
I imagine it won't be anything official, but at the same time, they'll
reestuart • 11/20/23 10:21 AM ET
That’s a lot of money, you might be right, but I find that hard to believe.
Stech • 11/20/23 10:16 PM ET
What do you find "hard to believe" ?**
TerryD • 11/22/23 12:04 PM ET
"ND gets the same amount of votes for the playoff committee as the entire
Stech • 11/22/23 07:26 PM ET
They are free to go independent and lobby for the same treatment as ND**
TerryD • 11/22/23 10:20 PM ET
True, I blame them for allowing this, not Notre Dame. I also blame Swofford
Stech • 11/23/23 12:35 AM ET
It's not just The ACC who treats ND as a special case. The others also
33laszlo99 • 11/26/23 03:16 PM ET
Oh the SEC & B1G didn't want them to join the ACC, they did everything they
Stech • 11/26/23 03:30 PM ET
Stech, I think all college athletes will be classified as employees, even
33laszlo99 • 11/26/23 03:54 PM ET
Check out my original post above, I am not so sure about NON--REVS getting
Stech • 11/26/23 04:27 PM ET
The Supreme Court will soon rule that all athletes are employees.
TerryD • 11/27/23 05:00 PM ET
If that happens when do you think it will happen? I get that Stanford & ND
Stech • 11/27/23 10:26 PM ET
Donors, TV, apparel deals, etc...
TerryD • 11/28/23 08:59 AM ET
ND announced loud and often from the rooftops ....
TerryD • 11/23/23 02:46 PM ET
The ACC agreement also said/says IF they joined a conference for football
RTFC • 11/25/23 12:32 PM ET
The contracts says that "IF" ND gives up independence......
TerryD • 11/26/23 09:53 AM ET
My IF was capitalized.
RTFC • 11/26/23 01:03 PM ET
Its a legal reality
TerryD • 11/26/23 02:20 PM ET
Agreed. And certain types of people break them more than others.
RTFC • 11/26/23 03:25 PM ET
My 32 years as a civil litigator....
TerryD • 11/26/23 08:27 PM ET
If all you deal with is litigation, that's going to be your experience.
RTFC • 11/26/23 10:34 PM ET
Not all that I have done
TerryD • 11/27/23 08:59 AM ET
It is pretty.........
2hhoop3 • 11/26/23 11:02 PM ET
The reverse is also a lot of fun**
TerryD • 11/27/23 09:01 AM ET
Because other conversations went on privately, but I don’t expect you to
Stech • 11/23/23 09:05 PM ET
Pure fantasy
TerryD • 11/24/23 09:36 AM ET
Told you that you wouldn't believe it, they were private confidential
Stech • 11/24/23 11:35 AM ET
I have seen people claiming the ND deal is actually $60 million +, but....
TerryD • 11/24/23 05:27 PM ET
Congratulations!**
Stech • 11/24/23 06:24 PM ET
Thanks, man !!**
TerryD • 11/24/23 08:09 PM ET
If we are listing wrong predictions...
TerryD • 11/24/23 05:21 PM ET
My bad
TerryD • 11/22/23 10:19 PM ET
Mostly that people...... ◄
2hhoop3 • 11/22/23 12:14 PM ET
And probably way longer than that.....
TerryD • 11/22/23 12:44 PM ET
It would give NBC a chance at some of their road games. **
reestuart • 11/20/23 10:21 PM ET
No, the deal is for ND home games only**
TerryD • 11/22/23 12:05 PM ET
Yeah, I know. I'm talking about ND playing some games vs Big Ten.**
reestuart • 11/22/23 12:12 PM ET
True, but that’s not new, they already have them except away ACC games. New
Stech • 11/21/23 09:18 AM ET
NBC doesn't get any ND road games right now, so if they'd start playing
reestuart • 11/21/23 10:35 AM ET
So I'm guessing they're not joining the ACC**
Windows NT • 11/19/23 10:43 PM ET
Was over when a 12 team playoff was voted in & ESPN & Fox created the P2.
Stech • 11/22/23 12:03 AM ET
Its 35 years
TerryD • 11/22/23 11:02 AM ET
ND won 10 in about 50 years & 1 in 35 years, an objective person would see
Stech • 11/22/23 07:13 PM ET
You didn't acknowledge...
TerryD • 11/22/23 10:22 PM ET
Acknowledged, now you acknowledge my numbers.**
Stech • 11/23/23 12:17 AM ET
Your numbers were wrong but also irrelevant to this deal**
TerryD • 11/23/23 02:49 PM ET
ND won MNC in 1988 35 years ago.**
seekoHoG • 11/22/23 07:42 PM ET
Yep, correct, will correct, but 1 in 35 vs 10 in about 50, huge difference.**
Stech • 11/22/23 08:41 PM ET
It is 11 National Championships....
TerryD • 11/23/23 02:52 PM ET
I think this means they won't be joining the B1X in the near term.**
EDGEMAN • 11/20/23 10:43 AM ET
Doesn't look like ND plans to join any conference. What a shock.
tarheelblue • 11/19/23 10:47 PM ET
Truly shocking
ren_hoek • 11/20/23 06:43 AM ET
Don't have to, what luxury to have **
VaTechHokiesACC • 11/20/23 03:49 AM ET
$50 million/year from NBC through 2029,
tarheelblue • 11/19/23 10:24 PM ET
another data point for the next look-in**
daveinop • 11/22/23 02:52 PM ET
Plus $17-20 million a year from the ACC
TerryD • 11/20/23 06:37 AM ET
They also keep all of their bowl money, correct?**
Maroon Baboon • 11/19/23 10:27 PM ET
All ACC schools will get to keep most of their bowl money now
tarheelblue • 11/19/23 10:45 PM ET
Roth did a podcast a while back that hinted distributions won't change
LaneRat • 11/21/23 12:40 PM ET
And pay their bowl expenses out of that too - correct?
RJHokie • 11/19/23 10:51 PM ET
Would revenue from lowest tier bowls cover the team’s expenses if
seekoHoG • 11/23/23 04:17 PM ET
Probably not. **
RJHokie • 11/23/23 05:16 PM ET
I'm not privy to all the details, but I would assume so.**
