BC is the visiting team for the Fenway game. It is not replacing any home game on BC's schedule.

BC has not given up a home game for this. There was a rumor that this game was going to be played in Ireland originally before ND chose to move it to Fenway. BC will play ND at home and against ND at whatever home venue ND chooses as part of the rotation in the ACC.
While I think the ACC did bend over to take ND, one of the keys to ND and the ACC for FB is that while ND does have access to some of the bowls, they do not have access to the Orange Bowl as the ACC representative. They have a separate relationship with the Orange that could result in a match up against an ACC opponent. The big difference for the ACC is they 5 FB games they extracted from ND every year versus some very fuzzy bowl alliances the BE was able to get from ND. Every one of those 5 games will be on a primary broadcast be it NBC or the Mickey Mouse channel. The BE got none of that from ND.
And for Nicky, ND will play as the visiting team wherever the home team decides in this relationship. They have no leverage as the visiting team with this agreement. They may want to suggest alternate venues but the home team decides. And I believe the home team will look at it from a purely economic view as to whether the venue makes sense or not. Cuse played USC at Met Life too. That was Cuse's choice. USC is playing BC at BC this season. That is BC's choice. BC will play ND at BC, Wake wil play at Wake, UNC at Chapel Hill, etc. Mark it down.
