No ideaHmm, is that a better or worse deal than our CBSSN deal?

All I can say is that reprisals can be brutal when you go against ESPN and your conference.
Hmm, the crazies never stop.... ?
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.
Unless they already have received the third party/back channel wink and nod from the B1G.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'!
Not going to happen but I would be in favor. Beats a lot of the alternative additions!Out of the box thinking.

Kind of like when you sue to get out of said conference?
Am I the only one optimistic about DePaul under Holtmann?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.

I didn't realize you were a big 10 rep.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’m Big Ten Man…I didn't realize you were a big 10 rep.
Or ND can act like an adult and attempt to negotiate a buyout of the GOR.The court would have to decide damages.
