I think the ND fans on here are missing one major point.  If ND is to join a conference, it will be out of their need just as much as the conferences desire.  I agree that as of now they do not need a conference affiliation, but if down the line they are being shut out of the playoff due to their independence, you're not doing the conference anymore of a favor than they are doing for you.  Therefore, you walking in and calling the shots isn't as simple as it may seem.  Yes you could use it as leverage as to which conference to join, but if the contract with the ACC is strong enough that you are obligated to it, they could give a rat's  who you want, they're going to do what's best for the conference.  As far as "but what are we going to do about our OOC games scheduled?", you're going to pick the ones the ones that you feel are best suited and cancel the others, you can't have your cake and eat it too.  Again, I am talking hypothetically, but if it comes down to this, ND is going to have to swallow some of its pride and join a conference or be an after thought unless going undefeated every year.
