[Exit 4]

What if they can convince the B1G for an annual 5 game series for football.... and to take all other sports? Now the B1G can date the girl they want.

Seems like ND might make that call to the B1G and let them ponder it. And just because its rejected initially, doesn't mean it might not marinate over time in the coming years.

I figure the B1G would turn that down rather quickly. They don't need the risk and instability, especially considering their biggest schools have standing arrangements to play ND pretty frequently anyhow. They also wouldn't control the media rights of ~half of those 5 games, ND and NBC would.

They will turn it down like they should. The Big 10 is not as weak as the ACC is and ND will be going up against schools (OSU, Michigan) that are it's peers in terms of power while negotiating terms.

I wonder if these guys know that Notre Dame is locked into the ACC GoR for all its non-football sports?

I wonder if people understand that ND can cut a check.

idk anything but the one thing I do know is Notre Dame would NEVER align themselves in the Big 12, cmon people.

That can be negotiated. The ACC had no leverage, and although ND has most of the leverage here, the B1G can make a counter offer and go from there. ACC’s counter was YES.

But why would they?

I don't think ND looks at it that way. Normally their MO is to have others cut them checks.

Usually, but if we can put ourselves in a better spot we will cut a check (donors mostly will pick it up).

Notre Dame has 3 options. Status quo with the ACC, full membership in the ACC, or join the Big 10 as a full member. Big 12 is not an option as Notre Dame's most played school in the Big 12 would rank as the 39th most played opponent, and Big 12 schools, in total, have played Notre Dame 37 times. And, the ACC is a much better fit for their non-football sports than the Big 12. Throw in that Notre Dame is guaranteed a spot in the playoff if they finish in the top 12 starting next year and why would they leave the ACC over being excluded this year?

Doesn’t ND have some agreement with ACC that says something to effect that if ND joins league, it would be the ACC?
Maybe I’m misremembering

ND would expect the conference they are joining to pay the ACC GOR fee.

If only this guy didn’t live in his mothers basement…sigh

Guess who can't cut a check?

Jackass knows how to drive clicks based on pure fiction. Have to tip your cap to it.

 

[mike012]

Wild dream but what if ND legit says to B12 officials you have no eastern schools. Big12 says we can get Uconn today. ND says fine but any games we play against them are in NY or Boston for football or basketball.

I wonder if Miami knows this.

I wonder if Miami knows this.

I wonder if anyone besides MHver knows this.

This guy again has his conspiracy antennae up, but UConn would say no thanks to a football only partial membership.

Well, first, I'm not sure that a football only partial membership is allowed, but if it were Connecticut would take it in a heartbeat. In many ways, that would be the best of all possible worlds for us.

Yup and a relatively small one at that because it's for non-fb sports only.

Can we please stop posting the MHVER3 nonsense.
