If the ACC loses their top football schools,
Yes. Do you know what the exit fee is for ND? I don't, but I'm assuming it's much different than everyone else's because there is no GOR with ND football.
Currently they do make more money in the ACC if you think it's for basketball and Olympics. What we don't know, is what the dollar figure was for the football games. Surely you don't think they gave that football scheduling agreement for the privilege of putting their basketball program in the ACC, do you?
before 2hhoop3 jumps me, I do not have a copy of the contract ND has with the ACC. As a matter of fact it hasn't even been discussed here to my recollection. What I am pretty sure of, is that it isn't the same as all of the full time members.
Keep in mind, all of this is predicated on the ACC losing it's top brands. I see no way that ND keeps it's football scheduling arrangement with the ACC if that happens, and the Big East is a good landing spot for Irish Basketball.
