Yep

That is the same campfire talk I got over Memorial Day Weekend from one of the NBC Sports Executives who I have known since high school. Doesn't mean it's going to happen. And you are also correct, he didn't know either. hehe. But that is what the networks desire it seems. The networks (NBC/FOX/CBS) are in approval should we say. It's Notre Dame. I am speculating (like everyone else) that the B1G wants a schedule deal with ND. The two have talked about this for a while. Again (repeat stuff), ND is not ready to give up football Independence. The ideal situation for the Irish would be to join the B1G with the same deal they have with the ACC. All sports, but only X amount of contracted league games in football. ND won't get that deal from the P2. So in essence, ND has only ONE option where they can set up X amount of contracted football games with the B1G. And that would be to join the Big East in all other sports. Don't need a source to deduce this simple logic.

I assume it is crap because the same stuff has been said for 40 years
goldendomer • 06/20/24 10:55 PM ET
Here is what the new ND AD just said
TerryD • 06/20/24 03:27 PM ET
Interesting he would say that. Probably means the prognosticators hinting
Stech • 06/20/24 03:53 PM ET
What do they know, really?
TerryD • 06/20/24 05:24 PM ET
Guys like that and others.....
2hhoop3 • 06/20/24 05:59 PM ET
Yeah, they are greatly overpaid bs people. **
RJHokie • 06/20/24 05:40 PM ET
, with very little to say and absolutely nothing worth remembering !**
FLKEYSHOKIE • 06/21/24 12:13 AM ET
I think he is........
2hhoop3 • 06/20/24 03:36 PM ET
My opinion is ND is going to continue "monitoring the landscape"
TerryD • 06/19/24 07:13 PM ET
Other sports
INSIDE99 • 06/19/24 08:40 PM ET
Didn’t you say that ND would follow FSU & Clemson & not UNC? Or was that
Stech • 06/20/24 08:21 AM ET
Once FSU exits, Notre Dame will follow

Entertainment at its best
INSIDE99 • 06/20/24 11:27 PM ET
Its not just the "old guard"
TerryD • 06/20/24 12:51 PM ET
Are you saying ND will join a P2 right after FSU leaves, or are you saying
Stech • 06/20/24 09:26 AM ET
I believe that he is saying the latter
TerryD • 06/20/24 12:51 PM ET
I would like to hear from him too, but both have a lot of games to schedule
Stech • 06/20/24 02:51 PM ET
Irish only have 2 options
INSIDE99 • 06/20/24 07:40 PM ET
I’m not saying nor do I believe the P2 offers all sports but 🏈, but will
Stech • 06/21/24 08:28 AM ET
Thanks here is what I think about the Irish situation right now,**
Stech • 06/20/24 08:11 PM ET
The "word" is ....
TerryD • 06/20/24 03:20 PM ET
Yep ◄
INSIDE99 • 06/20/24 11:20 PM ET
ND can’t play football in a P2 conference & play other sports in the ACC…
BROman Hokie • 06/20/24 12:13 AM ET
ND can be an independent in football and in the Big East for other sports**
TerryD • 06/20/24 07:41 AM ET
Does the Big East sponsor as many sports as ND plays?**
Atlee Hokie • 06/20/24 05:54 PM ET
Haven't looked but from 1995-2012 it did
TerryD • 06/21/24 08:26 AM ET
They could also go to the B12 for a larger payout, and remain independent.
Big12 guy • 06/20/24 08:23 AM ET
3 more ND games in the ACC was never going to save the conference. The ACC
Stech • 06/20/24 04:05 PM ET
I would pencil that out before I would come to conclusions. The B12
Big12 guy • 06/19/24 10:22 PM ET
Enough value to move the needle?**
HokiesACC2004 • 06/20/24 12:38 AM ET
No, but for many institutions in the ACC, maintaining the needle
Big12 guy • 06/20/24 06:33 AM ET
Adding Gonzaga is second rate. Glad the BigXII didn't bite on that one.**
Maroon Baboon • 06/20/24 12:05 AM ET
Agree, Big 12 realized that would be a poor choice and could do better !**
FLKEYSHOKIE • 06/20/24 11:41 PM ET
Me too, but at the time, the PAC was intact (mostly), and while
Big12 guy • 06/20/24 06:30 AM ET
So U see the Big 10 rolling over for them again on scheduling them for 🏈?
