As I said above
I don't like it. I don't have any wish for the ACC to be broken up like the Big East was.
I just think that is what is going to happen, not that I want it to.
The players are going to be held to be university employees and it sure looks like two super conferences are going to emerge.
ND has no valid business reason to abandon independence now by joining the ACC.
Why join now when it will have to join a super conference in a few years?
Why not negotiate a new/better TV deal in 2025, ride out independence and be ready for what results ?
The ACC's problems are self inflicted and too deep to fix.
I think that even if ND football joined the ACC tonight, the result in ten years will be the same

I guess it is best in 2 years since 2021 was the worst in 16 years.

8:30 or even 9:00 on a Friday night would work out for both coasts.
