Key tweets, and it's all gone to Hell.

Not according to Fishy. He does not understand that most schools fans in the ACC care nothing about football - nothing burger. Look at the the attendance for the ACC championship game this year between Duke and Virginia. Hardly anybody showed up.

That was the consolation game. There were 38,000 at the actual ACC Championship Game in East Hartford.

Just wondering, did ND ever advocate for the ACC to invite UConn, like they did for Stanford and Cal?

Notre Dame advocates for Notre Dame.

I don't believe that ND has a seat at the football decision table They do for basketball and the Olympic sports.

UConn burned that bridge in 2009. It's easier to just beat up on the bcu's of the conference

I do wonder if entering into the 10 year deal with ND would have changed our circumstances at all. To be fair, I wouldn't mind a a couple of Renschler game thrown in there. Maybe something like Notre Dame home, neutral NYC, Renschler field, Notre Dame home neutral Foxborough and then repeat

It feels like that was 60 years ago, had almost completely forgotten about that proposed deal.

I hate when politicians involve themselves in UConn athletics. In this case, they queered a deal that would have, in all likelihood, been very helpful to Connecticut football. Same thing when Chris Murphy chirped up to be critical of Connecticut moving to the big 12. I can't say that it was the proverbial straw that broke the camels back, but it definitely didn't help.

I don’t think that would’ve changed much tbh. Even then, it would’ve been easier to digest the series if ND had just thrown us some home games. It was that simple on their end, and while I also hate politicians sticking their noses in situations they have no clue about, the pushback was justified at the time imo.

Notre Dame advocates for Notre Dame.

And that will never change.
