So, let's play the worst case scenario as best we outsiders can....  let's say the Irish would pay an approximate $50m exit fee and then ~ $10m per years left until 2036 for their non-football GOR?  Let's say they leave in 2024 - that'd be 12 years left for a total of $120m plus the $50m exit fee for a worst case total of $170.  Via settlement talks, the Irish get it down to $125m (at a 25% reduction).  If the Irish can go from their current NBC dollars to a BIG annual payout of around $50m (that's conservative given what the BIG is adding in USC/UCLA and for the fact that Notre Dame is about as additive a program as there is, and that the BIG is likely to add additional additive programs either or both from the Pac and ACC in the coming years) they can hit the break even in a handful of years and the sooner they leave the quicker they reach payback.  Kind of a no brainer in terms of dollars, but as we all know the Irish don't make every decision based on dollars alone.
