Message: [QUOTE="pj, post: 1589768, member: 2524"] Notre Dame's greatest support is in the Midwest and Northeast. The B1G was eager for Notre Dame when they had no east coast presence, but having proven that they can capture eastern cable markets without Notre Dame, I expect that UConn + UVa or Va Tech would bring more money than any Notre Dame +1 combination at this point. Notre Dame is hugely valuable to the ACC, but is the ACC able to generate enough money to entice Notre Dame to join without giving them a preferential deal, which could destabilize the conference? B12 and SEC must be unattractive to Notre Dame. Notre Dame's ACC deal delays a decision until 2025, but by that time the B1G may be unavailable to them and they'll be down to one bidder. If independence isn't working, then they may have to go in to the ACC on the same terms as BC. That would be quite a come down. [/QUOTE]
