looks like Dax gets his Louisville wet dream come true. So who will be the other team to get us to 12? Boise State.

Thank God we wouldn't let them come here with that garbage.

This is about FSU and Clemson, not ND.

Oh... RT @McMurphyESPN: With addition of Notre Dame, ACC increases exit fees to 3 times annual operating budget, which would be $50 million

8manpick · « **Reply #21737 on:** September 12, 2012, 09:13:23 AM »

Yeah, I meant it was probably really bad for the chances of us getting FSU or Clemson. No way ND joins even provisionally if those two are on the way out.

EllToPay · « **Reply #21738 on:** September 12, 2012, 09:24:09 AM »

they couldn't compete in the b12. being in the acc gives them a realistic shot at consistent bcs bowls.

Does that allow the ACC to restructure their shitty Tier 1/2/3 contract?

steve dave · « **Reply #21741 on:** September 12, 2012, 09:32:24 AM »

lol at FSU, Clemson and ND playing the Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) Big 12 brass like a fiddle

sonofdaxjones · « **Reply #21742 on:** September 12, 2012, 09:34:59 AM »

ND possibly going to the ACC has been on the table for quite some time.

Why the hell is this a surprise to anyone?

ND was never coming to the Big 12 because the Big 12 is not academically sexy enough for them.

by adding ND basketball, god i hope not.

TheHamburglar · « **Reply #21744 on:** September 12, 2012, 09:36:57 AM »

It also looks like ND will be treated as a member of the ACC when it comes bowl selection time, outside of the Orange Bowl. I'm basing this off the Jack Swarbrick quote, "join in the ACC's non-BCS bowl package". Solved their bowl problem. They have access to all the lower tier bowls they need, but in the chance they make it to a BCS bowl they get to keep all that money to themselves.

Jack Swarbrick,

ACC will still be picking grounds for the SEC. The money difference is too much. Even a large buyout won't stop teams from moving. The ACC is still a diluted (basketball first) conference. I don't see this fixing FSU's problems. If anything, keeps FSU from getting to a good bowl because of the Notre Dame clause.

I think the SEC is done adding teams.

Unless they feel like 14 sucks so much they feel forced to go to 16. Media will continue to talk 16 as well.

Panjandrum · « **Reply #21748 on:** September 12, 2012, 09:54:44 AM »

This kind of begs the question...

Who is the ACC's non-revenue #16?

A team like Villanova that can add football, eventually, if needed should Notre Dame ever become a full member?

CNS · « **Reply #21749 on:** September 12, 2012, 09:56:07 AM »

So, with those exit fees, we are basically back to Louisville and Cinci, right?
