This is a crazy idea.But, what if NBC and their new cable network approached ND and said "Here is $25M per year, create a conference amongst teams from the Big East and ACC that you want and we will invite them. The Big East contract is up for bid and we can lure the ACC schools with a guarnateed higher payout."
Does ND do that? the big East schools definitely say yes of course, so you start with: ND, Uconn, RU, Louisville, and then you invite BC, Maryland, Syracuse, VaTech, UVa, Clemson, UNC, Duke, FSU and Miami. NBC guarantees them $20M per team to start for all sports. Teams like Pitt, GTech, etc are backup plans. Would the ACC schools do it? if FSU says yes, Clemson and VaTech likely go and the dominoes fall.
ESPN gutted the Big East. Could NBC/ND do the same to the ACC?
