I think you are probably right.  We haven't seen a GOR challenged yet.  It will be interesting to see what happens when that happens.  I suspect that these discussions are happening because the B1G money is now so significant, that it makes it viable that ND would join with no decrease in overall income.  Meanwhile, if ND opened it's checkbook, and threatened to challenge the GOR, would the ACC blink?  The ACC can't afford to have that GOR weakened by a court decision.  They could buy their way out, it would just be expensive.

That said, I think they'll ride out this situation a little longer.  But I'm convinced that ND Independence is ending sooner rather than later.  I think it is hurting them, diminishing status rather than inflating it.  The P5 has pumped itself up to such a degree, that it's the benchmark now.  Independent may be better than being in the AAC, but it's less prestigious than being in the B1G or ACC.  I think Notre Dame is realizing that.
