How about UConn and Navy to the ACC?

[TRest]

Was I wrong about anything that I said about ND and realignment?

Why do people keep writing about ND joining a football conference as a full member?

It is simply not going to happen.

I'd like to see UConn join the ACC for several reasons, one being that I dislike the Big Ten and would rather see UConn in the ACC than assist the Big Ten in that extortion racket called the Big Ten Network.

But laying out scenarios where ND joins full time is simply not realistic.

Your posts come across as self-congratulatory spin, rather than addressing anything else in this thread. ND isn't joining the ACC in football, everyone who was a member of the old BE gets it. It will take a while for the old ACC to figure out that they aren't a big step up in football perception-wise.

My guess would be that if ND had continued with a string of 3-4 more seasons of mediocre football there would have been enough support from within the ND ranks to join a conference. However, the appearance in the BCS game probably killed any of those thoughts for the next decade or so. As FranktheTank pointed out in another thread no conference would try to use the playoff to force ND into a decision because the reality is that who ever they join will get a huge financial windfall.
