I have said nothing about the Irish attempting to negotiate...I was responding to a snarky comment ...the Irish and the ACC haven't talked about breaking the contract..not reported anyway.

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

I think that both Clemson and FSU want to go by what the GOR/ESPN Agreement says. That ESPN Agreement was a secret and is now known to the lawyers of both schools...We, the public, can make no real judgement since we can't access the ESPN Agreement.

In the Clemson filing, it seems plain that in petitioning the court for a summary judgement that they have quoted the Agreement...you can see it below...well..

Should AD David B be out there talking like this? I mean it is not exactly a secret.

The only way I see him doing this is possibly in response to a question. Otherwise, it is too disrespectful to the Big East.

It looks like the Memphis AD was answering a question.

Todd Helmick's tweet is based upon the hypothetical that the ACC implodes and ND being free to move.

See his posts under the tweet.

ND isn't going anywhere. It certainly isn't going to join the Big Ten.

Not as long as NBC subsidizes their decision not to. For what it's worth, I love Notre Dame's institutional memory and animus towards the Big Ten. It reminds me of the saying "success is the best revenge."

I'm glad he's being honest, and it looks like the AAC is not an option.

I can’t believe you guys are referring to this tweet like it’s real. That guy has 300 followers. Not even worthy of a non-key tweet. Please check the source — anyone can cut and paste an ND logo and ad it to a press release. Omfg media literacy classes should be a mandatory requirement—at least to post in this forum

People on the B-Yard can be crazy, no question
Nevertheless, how long will ND remain in the ACC if the conference loses key members

They could go back to the Big East and have a scheduling agreement with UConn for football.

you never really realize how far away WVU is until you look at a map. They are pretty geographically out of place in Big 12....they need a travel partner (UConn )

You said it best, ND is going nowhere. They have done the least with the most amount of revenue.

That would be awesome. Do a 10-year contract, half the games at ND. UConn's half could be divvied up between the Rent, and NYC venue and Foxboro.

Remember all the whining over this?

UConn Likely to Opt Out of Football Series with Notre Dame

It looks like the state of Connecticut, UConn Athletic Director Jeff Hathaway, and Coach Randy Edsall finally got the message—ultimately it just didn't make sense! The Star Ledger's long-time ...

What success? ND has not won a football or men's basketball championship in my lifetime I don't think. The only thing I've seen them win is a women's basketball championship.

We measure success by banners
Folks at places like nd, cuse, bcu measure success by the benjamins

I just realized the Big East has more population than the Big 12 and SEC.
It's a shame all those northeast time zones are colored ACC, especially in New England. As if people actually watch bcu.
I'd like to see it painted with the MWC since that conference is so worthy now.

I never understood that decision and you could make a reasonable arguement that agreement might be provided the leverage to get us into the ACC.

And yet they are coveted by every conference and can pretty much lay out any terms they want for membership. They are a small Catholic college that has carved out a niche athletically and academically. By any reasonable measure they have been successful.

Haha I was thinking the same things looking at the color of the New England states. To be honest I had completely forgotten about Boston College and I was trying to figure out how Syracuse was closer to New Hampshire and Maine than Connecticut. I would feel embarrassed about that, except that pretty much the rest of the country has forgotten about Boston College as well.

I just thought that was because they were the team of a lot of old people who are quickly dying off taking much of ND's mass appeal/fandom with them.

73-13 the past seven years in football, with two playoff berths in a four team playoff system.

Only five schools have more wins in the past ten years than ND football.

If that is "nowhere", then there are about 125 programs somewhere worse than that.

I have been hearing and seeing that for forty years. Those ND old people sure must live forever.

And I expect the next 1000 to be just as bittersweet.

I hope the big east doesn’t take ND..they bring nothing to a basketball conference
