Reading this entry makes it seem that the Dude is bipolar. He's up, he's down, he's all over the landscape. He's covering all bases so that, no matter what does or doesn't happen, he can say that he predicted the outcome.

My guess is that he thinks he has an audience that impatiently awaits his every tweet and that he feels that he can influence the decision makers by positing on scenarios that he kicks around in his head.

The guy is not fully in touch with reality.

25 Things To Watch going into 2015 season. From coaches gone wild to one bold prediction.

#25 is interesting...
25. Bold prediction: The ACC will add its own network and -- soon -- another team. Hint: A certain nationally known independent.

I don't think it will happen but interesting nonetheless
Expand ...

I think it will happen - if ND has a two or more loss season. The caveat - ND will want to retain the right to go independent again at a specific juncture in the future in case the cable box melt down leads to a new media environment in 10 to 15 years.

If the ACC agrees to that...the countdown clock for implosion is on for them.

Dodd is talking about Notre Dame. He recently wrote an article about it:

Notre Dame has lost independent luster, should join conference soon
It's entirely possible that Boise State gets a guaranteed spot at 10-2. With the same record, Notre Dame could be left wishing.

That scenario alone is why the Irish will finally join a conference sooner rather than later. Don't ask me how that lucrative NBC contract would be folded in. That's fine print.

If Notre Dame made the all-in call to ACC commissioner John Swofford tomorrow, the details would be worked out pronto. As it stands, being half pregnant in the ACC isn't enough. Being left out is too much.

This column would not have been written unless that tipping point was imminent.

ND is going 8-4 this yr so any shot at the playoffs or New Year's six just isn't happening anyway.

This is a lot of smoke coming from Dodd over the last few weeks. Possible he actually has something here.

Much of the national guys these days are very, very careful when writing about expansion. They don't just put themselves out there anymore.

Yep and thats because many of them are employed by tv media giants who wish to avoid tampering/ tortious interference charges - legit or not.

@Smith_C12 If...IF...ND finally becomes 15th member of ACC...I believe ND will have a heavy hand in selecting 16...part of negotiations.

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 58m58 minutes ago
@Smith_C12 Who would ND want? Who would ND go to bat for?
Navy?...yep...but that's not happening...nope.
Texas?.....UT not available..yet.

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 56m56 minutes ago
@Smith_C12 CINCY or UCONN?....huuuummm....it doesn't ring out yes to me. But both are available....both have valid arguments to make

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 55m55 minutes ago
@Smith_C12 Who would ND want between CINCY or UCONN?
Who would ESPN/ACCN want between the 2?
I have no info nor opinion as of yet.

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 54m54 minutes ago
@Smith_C12 But you are correct...If ND becomes 15...someone becomes 16 in ACC....and when Dereg passes in Jan..could be 17&18...in ACC

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 47m47 minutes ago
Actually the most interesting part of @dennisdoddcbs new article is his bold prediction of a ACCN coming SOON. If true...IF true..

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 46m46 minutes ago
....lines up perfectly to what BTM told us in April & June...ESPN will not let their ACC schools/content become vulnerable...to a raid

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 45m45 minutes ago
truth is...OU/KU are the most attainable/valuable schools for expansion from existing P5...this info I tweeted out in April caused meltdown

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 44m44 minutes ago
And again..let me repeat...OU/KU not attainable now. Unless UT bolts first...
But the point is..PACN getting > distribution with DIRECTV...

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 42m42 minutes ago
...and if...IF ACC is able to have Disney build the ACCN...Big 12 most valuable assets have lots of campaign gifts/packages coming their way

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 37m37 minutes ago
Remember
"perfect world for Texas (described...my Big 12 guy), they would want to join the ACC as full members with wait for it Notre Dame"

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 36m36 minutes ago
My last tweet was a quote from @frankthetank111
Now combined it with @dennisdoddcbs article today on Bold Preductions #25.
interesting

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 30m30 minutes ago
Actually UCONN & CINCY both ring yes to me...at this point don't know who rings the ACC bell louder.
But yes..combo with ND...both work

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 18m18 minutes ago
@ScottBonz I don't see YET...ND having the vital relationship with UCONN to go to bat for them.
But I could've wrong in my assumptions
 
Damn, should have taken the 10 game ND deal.

ND recruits Cincy football heavily. Doubt they want Cincy in the same conference.

Yep but they have a lot of New York, NJ and New England alumni. More NYC/NE games have to be viewed as a plus for ND.
 
First, I still don't think ND is anywhere close to joining a conference. But...

There is no question ND would go to bat for UConn over Cincinnati. Much like the B1G, ND wants to keep its large northeastern alumni happy. They have a good partnership with Boston College for their Boston alumni. But like Rutgers and the B1G, BC doesn't deliver the entire northeast for ND alumni.

UConn and ND have played against each other in football, basketball and, now, hockey. We have hockey games scheduled in NYC for both alumni bases. We've played hoops games each other in MSG. And if we had anywhere close to a competent AD at the helm, we could be talking about the 3rd or 4th meeting against them at Yankee Stadium/Met Life this season.

Cincinnati does not give ND what they want: the northeast. It's a no-brainer who ND would advocate for should they ever join the ACC full-time.
