I've stated there have been discussions, informal yes, but it's my strong opinion it's a matter of time. That's not exactly going out on a limb but the definition of time relative to change is different for ND. Ironically as the ACC Championsbip Game has a greater impact on tbe CFB Playoff, the more it marginalizes ND and their value as a quasi-independent. Until they dominate their ACC competition, all the promotion in the world won't be able to change the perception amongst the top recruits as to where they have the greatest stage to showcase their talent. The stage is the CFB playoff and ND has a very difficult path to it as an independent vs a full conference member. The landscape has changed but the thought process at ND moves at a glacial pace. Not sure where or if there's a tipping point to that mindset but can't see any way ND gains access to the Conference CG without a full conference schedule. And now that the ACC has already upped their stature without them there should be no desperation to make further concessions. What are the metrics you look at as ND Administration that overrides the historic attachment to FB independence? From 2016 to 2025 they are scheduled to recieve $15 mil per season for 7 NON-ESPN home games. Why would ESPN/ACC bring them on during that timeframe? [/QUOTE]
