Agreed. If the ACC is ripped apart, that will force ND's hand and they will go to the B1G if the slot that is being held for them is still there.

Big East, not Big Ten.

Or has it been consistently courting ND?

(Though I've said this before, Notre Dame has done an outstanding job carving out a niche for itself. For a small university to occupy such a big place in the national athletics consciousness is a really big deal. My only knock against ND is that they look after their own interests, and not necessarily their conference partners. Now, to be clear, they have no obligation to look after anyone else, but that's something to be aware of anytime you are involved with them. Even with that, though, being involved with them typically is better than not, at least for a while. I am a begrudging fan of their administration. )

"Consistently courting" someone incessantly when that someone always says "No" and is not interested at all is creepy.

Sure, if you're talking about an individual, particularly a teenage girl, but less so if you're talking about a multimillion dollar organization.

That's true... In the case of Notre Dame, they already are a member of the Big10 hockey conference and are even written into the Big10's media deal in terms of a valuation if/when they were to become a full member. I'm sure they're talking to each other all the time.

It will not.

People continually misunderstand where Notre Dame fits into the world.

They fit in wherever they want.

As long as they have their NBC deal, they are pretty much immune to any conference realignment pressure.
