The "moral grounds" is an interesting position for Notre Dame to take

given the principles the school was founded on. Then again, the position Notre Dame has taken WRT the football program raises a whole bunch of philosophical discussions/debates given that Notre Dame was founded as a religious school. As Spok might say/ask, "The needs of the 1 outweigh the needs of the many?"

Whether Notre Dame (more specifically the people in decision making roles) are making the right or wrong decision, I cannot say. Honestly, I don't believe it is my place to pass judgment on whatever decision Notre Dame makes on this issue. Instead I leave that responsibility to a higher power to make at some point in the future. At least I'm assuming that the entire Notre Dame leadership believes that each one of them will be judged when they die.

Has anybody really done the math?
PaNDalum • 01/25/22 04:17 PM ET
Great questions, I would love to know the answers.**

Tech plays Notre Dame more than every football team in the ACC Atlantic...
Old Line Hokie • 01/25/22 07:21 PM ET
They are just another football team.
RTFC • 01/26/22 08:26 PM ET
ND isn't going to join a G5 conference. It will be the B1X
EDGEMAN • 01/26/22 07:14 AM ET
Even if the Big Ten and SEC decide to treat the all athletes as employees?**
VTHokie2000 • 01/26/22 08:41 PM ET
Exactly, though I can see the SEC and B1G doing that and ND

VTHokie2000 • 01/26/22 09:53 PM ET
So, God doesn't like football independents?
TerryD • 01/27/22 03:59 PM ET
I can't say what God does or doesn't like. Plus, I wouldn't assume
VTHokie2000 • 01/27/22 10:09 PM ET
Really thorough post... **
goldendomer • 01/27/22 11:12 PM ET
Thanks. Like I have noted in a previous post, I don't have a problem
VTHokie2000 • 01/27/22 11:48 PM ET
The points you make are a struggle for me personally.
goldendomer • 01/28/22 10:12 AM ET
I agree with the competing interest, we all have them, but usually survival
Stech • 01/28/22 07:37 AM ET
I doubt ND would want the auto bid by adding Navy plus one
TerryD • 01/28/22 12:20 PM ET
You don't want any of this, I get it. As far as VT and ACC yes we would
Stech • 01/29/22 11:01 AM ET
It would merely cause more anti-ND resentment...
TerryD • 01/29/22 11:58 AM ET
ACC wants to play you more, would be a move in the right direction for ACC.
Stech • 01/29/22 12:10 PM ET
Side-note, our endowment leapt 7 billion that past year.
goldendomer • 01/28/22 10:11 AM ET
Yes, I would agree with you that large of an endowment is insane

The Catholic church has fought communism since it was unleashed on the
goldendomer • 01/27/22 01:12 PM ET
And yet Notre Dame made the decision to join a conference for all
VTHokie2000 • 01/27/22 10:21 PM ET
Special dispensation- :)**
goldendomer • 01/27/22 11:10 PM ET
Interesting choice of words :-)**
VTHokie2000 • 01/27/22 11:14 PM ET
Agree with all of that, precisely my point.**
RTFC • 01/26/22 10:08 PM ET
The math is a guess. In general it would add more games
goldendomer • 01/25/22 07:04 PM ET
ACC would also get whatever the updated market value is
daveinop • 01/27/22 02:45 PM ET
I feel like ESPN/ABC picking up that SEC piece from CBS and adding OU/TU
reestuart • 01/25/22 04:54 PM ET
No ACC product to the ACC Network and RSN
Mercury • 01/25/22 05:35 PM ET
Yep. If the Big Ten doesn't move completely from ESPN/ABC, even the noon
