Quite a rant about leaching. But ND is #9 in directors cup standings

That’s their national ranking. #9 in the country across all schools. I get that some here love to hate on ND. But when the data contradicts the arguments, I’m going to call it out. And in this case, ND has proven to be a very strong ACC participant for those sports that you are suggesting are leaching off the ACC. Be mad all you want about the football arrangement. But the ND non rev sports are far from being a burden or leech for the ACC.

You did prove my point… ND is strong enough to go independent ..
Calamitous • 01/13/26 08:14 PM ET
No it doesn’t prove your point at all. Not even remotely
HokieAl • 01/13/26 08:45 PM ET
You don't understand my argument (look at my thread here)
Calamitous • 01/13/26 09:04 PM ET
Oh I understand
