Mark Blaudschun is tweeting that ND and ACC are working on a deal where ND would play six football games/year vs ACC teams and other sports would join.

Wait, I'm not following. If ND joins as a partial, like Kevin's suggesting, how would we be 16? Does that mean that there is another team that is listed as "15"??

There's the old ACC camaraderie!! They make more money in their tv contract because SyraPitt are coming, and yet they aren't willing to share it with those two schools when they jump ship early. F them all, really...

Syracuse and Pitt were tools to reopen the contract. Nothing more. At least 66.7% of the contract increase was due to adding a 3-year extension . That's in the simple math of backloaded contracts. The other 33% of the increase was an adjustment to sprialing market rates and a further ceding of broadcast rights.

Now the ACC is begging Notre Dame to sign an 'arrangement' to complete the Big East raid. Otherwise ND and the BE can still enter into a bowl agreement for a Yankee Bowl type of game competing against the weakling Orange Bowl at 1:00 PM on News Years. ND must be neutralized! That's all that's really happening.

Not happening. Notre Dame is not going to change one thing about their current conference affiliation.
 
If this were true, Big IF, would ND ask the ACC to include UConn as the 16th member to finally complete the Northeast corridor for all sports and pretty much cripple the Big East for good allowing the ACC to take over MSG for bball.

The Big East wouldn't be finished. The schools left behind, many are still at least somewhat strong. It would continue on with the new schools.

There are 12 now. Syrapitt make 14. ND would be 15 is a partial.

Yeah, I understand that "partial" part. But what I'm asking is, if ND is a partial member, who is their 15th FOOTBALL school? In other words, is the ACC going to want to have 15 football schools (if they were to grab UConn) for the simple pleasure of getting to play against Notre Dame soccer??
 
ND would be either .666 or .75 of a football member, depending on whether the ACC would have 8 or 9 conference games a season. I know ND would play Syracuse and Pitt every season. So that's 4 other ACC games. Ends up being half (.5) a member.

The ACC would never take over MSG for their BB tour.. MSG is not in their footprint. Greensboro will always play a huge part in their tour. Tobacco road it where most of the ACC tour. games will be played.

Butchy, that still doesn't matter though. They are not going to have an "odd-number" divisional slate, just to get the reported 6 games from ND as a non-conference entity. ND is already going to play Pitt, Syracuse, and BC. So the ACC would gain 3 more games to add a 15th full school?? Doesn't make sense...

Hey, they aren't a football member of the Big East, at all. If they joined the ACC with such an agreement, it would be the same with 3 ACC games.

I don't think you're following what I'm saying. If they made an agreement with ND to be a partial member, as others have suggested, and they bring in UConn as a full member, they would still need one more full member to go to 16 football teams! So are people saying that ND goes over as a partial, and UConn and Rutgers going to the ACC as fulls, or do people believe that the ACC wants 15 full members in its football conference?

People believe the ACC wants 15 full members and one partial in ND. Having Rutgers as a full member along with UConn and ND as a 17th partial member just might not make sense from a bball perspective. Weird proposition.

True, but as we all know (as the Big East knows all too well), football drives the bus, not bball. If it were bball, we never would have been poached....ever!

I hear what you're saying, I think. If this did happen, why wouldn't the ACC just invite Nova, G'town, or SJU for all the other sports, keeping FB at 14 and rest of the sports at 16. Then they truly could alternate the ACC tourney b/w NC and MSG.

Well, I guess the only thing that I am saying is to those who believe that UConn will become a full member of the ACC if ND agreed to become a partial member of the ACC. That's the part that I have a problem with. If they add ND as a partial member (a big "if", by the way) and not a full member, what is the driving force for the ACC to go out and get UConn??

Of course because the ACC is a selector conference that teams want to join as opposed the the BigBevo conference where they have to bribe schools (WVU) to join.

Yeah, because every football conference in the country would MUCH rather have Syracuse and Pitt than that crappy West Virginia team......that laid more than 70 on the ACC champion a couple of months ago. Good point, Observer! You're always full of.....good points....:confused:

Well let's see. The ACC first took Miami, VT and BC from the BE Then they came back and took Pitt and Syracuse.

Five teams total and WVU was there and available for the taking each time and the ACC said 'no thanks.'

So what the Bevoconference got were the 6th and 7th most desirable schools in the BE, WVU and TCU.

I would love to go to the B10, but I think the ACC would call first and would be a better geographical fit, do love the thought of the B10 though.
 
If the ACC offers, the Big 10 gets a call and has 24 hours to offer. You know they're doing their preparatory analysis now and will be prepared to make a quick decision.

The ACC would love to play their BB championship in the Mecca of college basketball, instead of some backwater. The ACCs theoretical foot print extends to Boston, it
is only in reality that stops at Maryland.
