Message: [QUOTE="UConn9604, post: 667094, member: 3825"] There could be -- actually, I'm sure of it -- other material performance provisions which, if breached by the ACC, could let Notre Dame out. Swofford only responded to a question at a presser, and obviously didn't go into great details about the agreement with Notre Dame, but obviously when he says, "if Notre Dame wants to join a league by 2026-27, it has to be the ACC," what he is really saying is, "[I]assuming all parties perform in accordance with our agreement between now and then[/I], if Notre Dame wants to join a league by 2026-27, it has to be the ACC." The point being, the agreement is more than just what Swofford says it is. This may seem like a minor point, but it's not. There could be provisions in that agreement which would allow Notre Dame to get out if it doesn't get a bowl that it thinks it deserves, or whatever. After all, it's Notre Dame -- leagues are known to do stupid stuff to make them happy. [/QUOTE]
