Hmm, is that a better or worse deal than our CBSSN deal?

No idea

Clemson...LOL....uhhh...Well ACC/ESPN...no..nada..nein

Or in American vernacular...go pound sand

 

[Waquoit]

That'll show 'em!

 

[billybud]

All I can say is that reprisals can be brutal when you go against ESPN and your conference.

Officiating will be interesting to watch this season,,,bowl selections, CFP rankings...how many prime time slots played, how many games on ACCN...

Kind of like when you sue to get out of said conference?

 

[KryHavok]

So Clemson, which presumably wants to go the SEC that is secured by a lucrative ESPN contract, refuses to play on Black Friday thereby impacting ESPN's potential to earn more revenue from ads played during an ACC-SEC matchup at the start of the holiday shopping season? Right, got it, Clemson wants to bite the hand that it wants to feed it more. That is a good thinkin'!

Out of the box thinking. It may not be that bad an idea given ND can pretty much do whatever it wants and ND will make money no matter what. The ACC may implode. ND basketball may (or may not) be more successful in the Big East. ND probably won't join the B1G. And it would be good for the Big East. I'll entertain the idea.

Regarding Clemson vs. USC. I can see why both schools would insist on playing on Saturday rather than Friday night. It's an all day event for all South Carolinians.

If Notre Dame could get back to being decent at basketball, having Xavier, Butler, NDU and Marquette all in the Midwest makes for some compelling match ups. DePaul will of course continue to suck.

Unless they already have received the third party/back channel wink and nod from the B1G.

Not going to happen but I would be in favor. Beats a lot of the alternative additions!

Exactly....the repercussions already have started....ESPN talking heads like Finebaum have been blasting away...

Clemson and FSU aren't "cooperating" with the ACC...and they have burned bridges...Clemson suing for damages for the misrepresentations.

They have exposed the secret that the conference and ESPN did not want exposed....that there is currently no media contract past July 1, 2026.

I do think the ACC and ESPN did not like their little secret being revealed....

Am I the only one optimistic about DePaul under Holtmann?

I would be fine with ND playing a fixed schedule of football games in The B1G as long as that fixed number is 9 games. The B1G is not The ACC. They don’t need The Irish to prop them up. There are more than enough quality programs who can drive ratings without them. The only concession I would give them is the opportunity to pick 0-3 fixed rivals.

I didn't realize you were a big 10 rep.

[Vowelguy]

I thought part of ND's agreement with the ACC included a provision that ND could join no conference other than the ACC?

 

[billybud]

ND does have a contract provision with the ACC that says that. But penalties for breaking do not seem to be delineated. Five football games guaranteed a year. And GOR covers everything but football and hockey.

 

[billybud]

The court would have to decide damages.

 

[FfldCntyFan]

The court would have to decide damages.

Or ND can act like an adult and attempt to negotiate a buyout of the GOR.
