Not sure John Ourand is a good source

I know he is widely read at SBJ but I also remember when he said that there would never be an ACC Network. He could not have been more wrong. Unless he has an audience with the top brass at ND, does he really know anything or just making an assumption.

Hmmm. ND staying independent for now? Link>>
Femoyer Hokie • 08/16/22 10:52 AM ET
He is correct..it's a money issue at this point with the B10 and IND status**
AirborneHokie96 • 08/17/22 03:52 PM ET
No surprise. What will be interesting is the length of their contract
HokieAl • 08/16/22 06:38 PM ET
Doesn't affect the 5 ACC games/yr unless ND buys out of them.

VaTechHokiesACC • 08/17/22 04:04 AM ET
Don't know about 4 this year. They have played 6 in other years
HOO86 • 08/16/22 10:53 PM ET
I guess they will only have the 330 window if B1G has 730**
Millpoint • 08/16/22 04:07 PM ET
They played 6 ACC schools in 2015 and this was the make up year.**
Victor Tango • 08/16/22 03:49 PM ET
4 this year, 6 next year. Contract calls for "an average" of 5 games per yr**

If the ACC set up the scheduling against Notre Dame as a "cycle," then this
VTHokie2000 • 08/16/22 03:41 PM ET
So how much more can ND really schedule B1G schools

Well USC will become a Big Ten Game. Do they drop Stanford for UCLA?
HOO86 • 08/16/22 01:53 PM ET
I'd bet they drop Stanford, and home/away with USC/UCLA is alternated
reestuart • 08/16/22 04:19 PM ET
I thought a reason Notre Dame resumed its series with Stanford is it wanted

Yes, you are correct and I mentioned that in one of my posts. However, the

I'm not positive on the NoCal angle. That may be it, but I was thinking
reestuart • 08/16/22 04:51 PM ET
Yes, that was part of the reason Notre Dame alternates its final regular
VTHokie2000 • 08/16/22 05:26 PM ET
hard to say. It makes sense that they'd want to play in NoCal, but I
reestuart • 08/16/22 05:47 PM ET
It is worth noting that NoCal has several good/great HS football programs
VTHokie2000 • 08/16/22 07:00 PM ET
well guess that is one more by default
Vippie1 • 08/16/22 02:01 PM ET
Could the decision be tied to the ACC GOR and ND's contractual committment
seekoHoG • 08/16/22 01:36 PM ET
No, it's tied to money
hokieZ71 • 08/16/22 02:40 PM ET
No, we want independence. If forced we join the

MrFantastic! • 08/16/22 02:40 PM ET
60 million plus what ever from the ACC
goldendomer • 08/16/22 12:48 PM ET
Status quo will prevail; NCAA bball tournament will break away before 2036,
ren_hoek • 08/16/22 01:12 PM ET
If true, Notre Dame would get B1G games from NBC & ACC games from ESPN.
Old Line Hokie • 08/16/22 12:37 PM ET
The Dude of Minnesota will not be pleased**
Millpoint • 08/16/22 12:24 PM ET
His response FWIW
Maroon Baboon • 08/16/22 01:14 PM ET
He doesn’t realize ND gets money from the ACC for non-fb and ACCN
hokieZ71 • 08/16/22 06:40 PM ET
I'm sure he realizes that, but it's relatively nothing. Not that I think

End game is ND desires INDY and ACC to be alive for other sports**
MrFantastic! • 08/16/22 11:55 AM ET
No, it just desires Independence in football and money.
