the issue for ND is they have a contract for 5 games a year for ACC game through 2036. If they have stanford, their position is great, we will drop one of the other ACC teams and stanford will be out ACC game. WRONG, and they just need to tell ND. 1. we will select the ACC Schools exclusive to stanford and they will be your acc designated schools. PERIOD 2. iF you dont, you are in violation of the Grant of Rights for ACC as membership, and we keep your shares as well. or take us to court... BRING IT ON. 3. IF ACC had the votes without ND, can they also put in the directive specifically that Stanford will not be one of the designated schools that counts in the 5 schools or no 2, ACC designates what schools ACC plays and ACC is done and guess what Stanford is not part of the rotation, so you can either drop Stanford and move on. 4. Also, with USC moving to the Big 10 their schedule gets difficult. With Big 10 and ND get dicey, maybe they say ND you are not part of the Big 10 thing, so you have arrange the USC thang around the Big 10 schedule not visa.versa. ND you are squeezed.
