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.

Weeknight title game is a terrible idea.
Maroon Baboon 01/11/22 09:24 PM ET
Why start the game at 8:00 pm, on a week night?
EDGEMAN 01/12/22 07:45 AM ET
8:30 or even 9:00 on a Friday night would work out for both coasts.
Maroon Baboon 01/12/22 10:37 AM ET
Friday night is a no go because the networks don't want to impact

Listening to them is bad enough, but having to see them is worst !**

Monday night championship games are not fan friendly.

I think they should have it the Saturday before the Super Bowl.

So, replaying the SEC championship game didn't get ratings?
EDGEMAN 01/11/22 08:39 PM ET
ND/SEC are short sighted, like NASCAR, there creating a Regional Sport,

Eh no reason to watch it since VT wasn't 1 of the teams playing in the game**
