Everyone should value themselves first and foremost.  But there are collaborative efforts that are better when the group has a single objective and the individual needs are sometimes sublimated.  This is the entire framework of the B!G.  Certainly there is animosity amongst members that ebbs and flows and changes amongst allies.   And things could crumble quickly for that conference.  From my perspective, if I have to value the two conferences, the ACC + ND vs. the B!G there is not one bit of doubt who's shares I'd buy.  If ND went all in with the ACC then I'd most likely buy both.  ND and the ACC are playing the short term game which they are playing a lot better than a lot of other players with weaker hands.  But this will end up hurting both ND and the ACC in the future because they are misunderstanding the new paradigm in college sports.
 
If ND agreed to join the ACC, there is an increased chance for an ACC network.  Otherwise the chances are small and the chances for success are very small.  Without a network the ACC will fall further and further behind those that have networks in in $$$ and leverage to decide their fate.
