If the pig.....

actually wins one I will give it it's due. Until then, I will keep calling it and its delusional fans out. Next year is a cry exceeding 30+ years now. ** Edited by 2hhoop3 at 5/18/2026, 11:27:46 AM

The ACC hates us- LOL
goldendomer • 05/12/26 12:04 PM ET
I'm not sure why anyone cares what happens to the ACC/ND deal.
Baltimore_Hokie • 05/12/26 04:52 PM ET
I think ND ends up in whatever secessionist
mancunian • 05/14/26 09:54 AM ET
The ACC people care because it would save the conference if ND joined
Sunsetunderground • 05/13/26 02:48 PM ET
Two Points
TerryD • 05/16/26 11:12 AM ET
ND will never join a conference. They already have no reason to with their-
Baltimore_Hokie • 05/13/26 04:11 PM ET
They'll eventually join the B10 if forced to make the playoff.
EDGEMAN • 05/13/26 06:23 PM ET
What would cause ND to join the Big Ten?
TerryD • 05/16/26 11:57 AM ET
I for one hope tradition wins
MrFantastic! • 05/18/26 12:57 PM ET
Why would the CFP ever force them into a conference to make the field?
Baltimore_Hokie • 05/14/26 10:08 AM ET
ND is a TV draw......
2hhoop3 • 05/14/26 11:24 AM ET
You actually think....
TerryD • 05/16/26 11:59 AM ET
I did not say that......
2hhoop3 • 05/16/26 12:17 PM ET
I think entirely differently
TerryD • 05/16/26 12:35 PM ET
You do think......
2hhoop3 • 05/16/26 01:05 PM ET
Lol, ok
TerryD • 05/16/26 01:29 PM ET
There is nothing.....
2hhoop3 • 05/16/26 01:42 PM ET
ND was 102-29 in the last decade
TerryD • 05/18/26 07:40 AM ET
The discussion was about.....
2hhoop3 • 05/18/26 09:17 AM ET
That "pig" is going to excel in the new system
TerryD • 05/18/26 11:15 AM ET
If the pig..... ◄
2hhoop3 • 05/18/26 11:23 AM ET
Which is ironic if people think about it because Notre Dame is 1 of 11
VTHokie2000 • 05/14/26 11:42 AM ET
If the CFP comes to the conclusion that it is able to make more money from
VTHokie2000 • 05/14/26 10:57 AM ET
You mean the B12 right? No network and diminishing TV relationships.
Stech • 05/12/26 06:14 PM ET
Bringing back the old Big East! UConn needs inviting too. **
HouClone • 05/13/26 03:27 PM ET
How long do you wait until you kick Temple out for a third time?**
VTHokie2000 • 05/13/26 03:50 PM ET
The B12 is stable b/c the P2 isn't interested in any of their schools...
BROman Hokie • 05/13/26 10:33 AM ET
I don't get why people overestimate the B12. Sure the ACC sucks
RandomAsianGuy • 05/13/26 07:18 PM ET
ESPN wouldn't WANT the ACC to continue under those circumstances.
Baltimore_Hokie • 05/13/26 09:56 AM ET
No one truly knows, we are all guessing.**
Stech • 05/13/26 12:57 PM ET
I would call it more like educated guessing.
Baltimore_Hokie • 05/13/26 01:18 PM ET
If the Mag 7 leave, the ACC will not get WVU, Cincy, UCF. Only USF is ?
HokieAl • 05/12/26 06:46 PM ET
Maybe a subset of M7 would leave. No way entire M7 leave. And if some
RandomAsianGuy • 05/13/26 07:15 PM ET
That’s one opinion, as good a guess as any, but I think they will need 🏈
Stech • 05/12/26 09:09 PM ET
When this relationship finally ends, what's next ?
Sunsetunderground • 05/12/26 03:08 PM ET
Big East
TerryD • 05/12/26 03:25 PM ET
You've already done that.
EDGEMAN • 05/13/26 06:24 PM ET
Back To The Future**
TerryD • 05/14/26 06:56 AM ET
That would entail a $12M annual haircut...
SMU Pony • 05/12/26 10:08 PM ET
Why do you think the BE's TV deal would remain at $7.5m/y/m if ND joined?
Baltimore_Hokie • 05/13/26 10:08 AM ET
How valuable are ND's basketball and non-rev sports?
SMU Pony • 05/13/26 10:34 AM ET
I know what I say matters probably zero to you, but trust me on this one-
Baltimore_Hokie • 05/13/26 10:49 AM ET
Some back of the envelope math...
SMU Pony • 05/13/26 10:20 PM ET
I think your mind is in a different place than mine here.
Baltimore_Hokie • 05/14/26 10:29 AM ET
So you're talking about a Big 12/ACC football centric
mancunian • 05/15/26 08:29 AM ET
I think that's the only play left if the "conference" paradigm continues.
Baltimore_Hokie • 05/15/26 10:34 AM ET
I like it. My only quibble with you is on
mancunian • 05/15/26 11:23 AM ET
Something else I speculate a "new" conference would do is abandon the-
Baltimore_Hokie • 05/15/26 11:28 AM ET
Choices
TerryD • 05/13/26 07:33 AM ET
If the Mag 7 leave the ACC, the ACC will invite Big East teams, ACC isn't
Stech • 05/12/26 04:19 PM ET
The Mag 7 isn't leaving the ACC
EDGEMAN • 05/13/26 06:25 PM ET
I’m just forecasting if the worst case scenario happens to the ACC, no one
Stech • 05/13/26 09:34 PM ET
Does ESPN really make that much money off the ACCN?
HouClone • 05/13/26 04:34 PM ET
It depends on how much money ESPN was able to get in the ad deal to promote
VTHokie2000 • 05/14/26 09:54 AM ET
Big East is slim pickin's for football poaching. Only four to choose from:
33laszlo99 • 05/12/26 05:02 PM ET
Agree BE 🏈, but it’ll be a 🏀 Conference, and ESPN will buy B12 schools
Stech • 05/12/26 05:55 PM ET
Swarbrick confirmed the Big East was never a true option
Sunsetunderground • 05/12/26 03:38 PM ET
Swarbrick doesn't work at ND any longer
TerryD • 05/12/26 04:08 PM ET
Hmmm, Clemson signed a 10 year scheduling agreement,
Big12 guy • 05/12/26 03:51 PM ET
Not for October and November. **
Sunsetunderground • 05/12/26 04:56 PM ET
USC is going to be another
TerryD • 05/12/26 04:10 PM ET
There isn't one single ACC or B12 school
Big12 guy • 05/12/26 08:03 PM ET
You'll stay in the ACC for other sports, the ACC even w/o top schools will
Stech • 05/12/26 04:26 PM ET
If schools leave the required games will have to go down... Maybe 2 games
goldendomer • 05/12/26 04:40 PM ET
Nahh ND loves the soft schedule, and will walk into the playoff, wins still
Stech • 05/12/26 05:51 PM ET
Check out the schedules for....

Stech • 05/13/26 06:06 PM ET
USC is going back on the schedule annually
TerryD • 05/13/26 01:20 PM ET
Soooo, not counting Navy... (whew)
RTFC • 05/16/26 11:08 AM ET
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.. \
goldendomer • 05/12/26 06:27 PM ET
Big East will gladly take them back because the conference doesn't sponsor
VTHokie2000 • 05/12/26 03:13 PM ET
It was bound to happen as long as Notre Dame was the only school with a
VTHokie2000 • 05/12/26 02:37 PM ET
The ACC and its schools voluntarily agreed to this deal
TerryD • 05/12/26 03:27 PM ET
I agree the schools agreed to the deal. However, the devil is always in
VTHokie2000 • 05/12/26 04:24 PM ET
I wasn't behind closed doors
TerryD • 05/12/26 05:06 PM ET
We will never know what conversations were held between the parties because
VTHokie2000 • 05/13/26 09:23 AM ET
ND should love ACC as long as Jim Phillips is the Commish, Miami in NC game
Stech • 05/12/26 01:43 PM ET
Because the ACC went out of its way to attack ND**
TerryD • 05/12/26 03:27 PM ET
Attack? hahaha
RTFC • 05/16/26 10:45 AM ET
Got receipts? **
VaTechHokiesACC • 05/13/26 05:12 AM ET
The ACC never said squat about ND. They only promoted Miami.**
Hokester • 05/12/26 06:03 PM ET
True in your mind, so for you that makes it true. :-)**
Stech • 05/12/26 04:15 PM ET
ND loves the ACC now lol
RandomAsianGuy • 05/12/26 01:35 PM ET
I thought it was more like you hated the ACC?
drb • 05/12/26 12:25 PM ET
I do, I love all this.
