Even though the BE had a tiered payout based on bowl participation. That scheme made it hard for Miami if they didn’t do well enough in a particular season. They also had ND in all sport except football. When the ACC came sniffing, ND didn’t do anything to help the BE stay together, Miami was itching to go. Now it’s FSU holding everyone hostage with threats, and ND not pulling its weight, and the only they could is to fully join. We can submit to FSU’s demands, but they will still be out the door the first opportunity they get, unless the ACC figures out how to close the revenue gap. I wish everything would just shake out now and be done. It’s been really hard to care much about college athletics with all of the money rolling in to some conferences but not others, loyalties dying etc.
