I'm hearing the situation with all our old BE turn ACC foes has changed. We have many of the votes we need, but not all of them. Work in progress.

Was it Churchill who said “ you can always count on the Americans to do the right thing. After they’ve exhausted every other option.” ?

I think similarly of the ACC inviting UConn .

Look if the ACC took a vote and UCONN had enough votes to get in and FSU, and Clemson said no, and Notre Dame said you better let them in. Who do you think wins? My bet would be on Notre Dame.

I have no idea in that scenario.

If a UConn invite does happen before 2031, its all for the 9 game scheduling first and foremost. A secondary reason would be the northern flank of the ACC would like to have us.

Now we have been at this juncture before and we have seen it all happen; Louisville taking our seat, AZ/AZ state/UT taking our seat, and the B12 heavy flirts last August. Anything can happen this fall...including another Charlie Brown moment. And that moment could be just a simple conclusion by the ACC that they would rather jerry rig a 9 game football schedule for the balance of the decade rather than make a new club member.

Sure would be nice to play some kick butt football this Sept.

So you think the ACC is actively thinking about adding a team to get a 9 game schedule?

Part of the reason Notre Dame wins is the ACC needs Notre Dame more then Notre Dame needs the ACC.
Notre Dame could very easily schedule a 12 game football schedule and park their other sports in a league like the Big East again. Or even the Big 12 and schedule a few games.

Yes- but as quickly as it is underway it could end.

We'll find out when we hear what the response to the idea of counting ND games as conference games.

If enough members are against it (assuming it could lead to exceptionally unfair conference schedules), they'll look into adding another school. If a large enough portion of membership is for it, they'll stay where they are.

But he did have Stalin in the room, which is pretty much the same thing.
