Message: [QUOTE="FfldCntyFan, post: 4714912, member: 71"] When it happened, Swofford felt he hit the jackpot by landing ND with a GOR that ran until 2036 and an agreement that if they were to join a conference for football it would have to be the ACC (unless they left the conference, which the GOR made nearly impossible). The thought process was that at some point ND would have to join a football conference and that alone would place the ACC on equal footing with the B1G and SEC. The truth is that ND will not become an all sports member anywhere other than the B1G (and that will not happen until they have no other choice) and the GOR now appears as a prison sentence to schools like Clemson and FSU while also being an enforcer/protection for schools like Wake, BC and Syracuse.
