So you do need us as a long term scheduling "partner"...

I see you don't respond to the factual posts listing NDs future schedules - when the ACC typically requires ND to schedule late in the season with our conference games...and when ND has only 2 Oct/Nov games against the SEC or B1G in the next 10 years... If ND has other end of season options, why don't they schedule them at the end of the season now? Because other conferences don't want to - they, and the ACC, schedule conference/long term partner games then. Why did ND run away from USC - because USC wanted to move the game to early in the season - ND didn't want that, they need the appearance of scheduling P4s outside of the ACC at end of season to appear independent. ND always wants special rules for them. I am familiar with why people need/want special accommodations.

ND’s scheduling dillemma

BYU just scheduled them, and I bet my bottom dollar
Big12 guy • 12/23/25 11:11 AM ET
Why would you bet that?

Big12 guy • 12/24/25 09:23 AM ET
Then WHY don't they do it now?
RTFC • 12/24/25 10:58 AM ET
There are contractual obligations, and this shifting
Big12 guy • 12/24/25 11:27 AM ET
Me too
TerryD • 12/24/25 10:06 AM ET
Very smart move by BYU IMO.
Truthahn • 12/23/25 01:06 PM ET
They just lost the USC series after 90 plus years. Keeping the USC game
jrc3rd • 12/22/25 06:20 PM ET
Independence is many magnitudes more than the USC game
TerryD • 12/23/25 12:38 PM ET
If its as you say, there are a lot of upset USC alumni. When I lived in LA,

And BYU does not have the Song Girls.**

IMHO ND wants out of the ACC *5 games and they will shift it to the SEC or
Stech • 12/22/25 02:41 PM ET
Long on supposition, empty of facts
TerryD • 12/22/25 04:52 PM ET
If ND is not planning an exit from the ACC, it would be negligent
Tailgate Guru • 12/23/25 08:40 AM ET
Likely a contingency plan
TerryD • 12/23/25 02:27 PM ET
ND future schedules Notre Dame's future schedules include home-and-home
Stech • 12/22/25 05:09 PM ET
Look at WHEN they are scheduled.**

No problem, that is what the ACC is for**

Yep early games.**
Stech • 12/23/25 01:45 PM ET
That’s a lot of good matchups
mancunian • 12/23/25 10:09 AM ET
ND is just blustering. They ain't gonna play a solid SoS,
saret • 12/22/25 04:42 PM ET
ND is scheduling as tough a schedule as it can. BUT
RandomAsianGuy • 12/22/25 06:25 PM ET
That is an incredibly weak schedule for an alleged playoff contender.
Gobbler Guru • 12/23/25 12:51 PM ET
Agree with both sides' arguments. But, the crux of the argument
saret • 12/22/25 08:42 PM ET
ND future schedules
TerryD • 12/22/25 04:56 PM ET
Through 2036 a TOTAL of 2 of those are after October 1st.
RTFC • 12/23/25 12:33 AM ET
Good point. I stand corrected. At least they've taken time out
saret • 12/22/25 04:59 PM ET
Already lined up to kill the ACC 5-6 games.**
Stech • 12/22/25 05:10 PM ET
You may be right. If so, thanks for visiting.**
saret • 12/22/25 05:19 PM ET
That was funny!!!**
Stech • 12/22/25 05:43 PM ET
What if Notre Dame parted ways with the ACC...
Old Line Hokie • 12/22/25 04:35 PM ET
ND, Auburn, Alabama, Florida, Michigan, Michigan State, Texas, BYU, Indiana
