Message: [QUOTE="UConnJim, post: 842479, member: 1559"] I just disagree with many of your points. First, The ACC has 5 ND games per year, not 4. Thus, they are 3 games short of full conference membership. Clearly, the ACC hopes ND joins as a full member down the road and would look for a new full member if that happened. Would Texas join as a full member? Doubtful as moving to the Pac with a pod of Texas Tech, Oklahoma, and Oklahoma St. is a better option. Less travel and traditional rivals are retained. As the football playoffs develop, conference politics are going to intensify. Imagine if ND had beaten out Florida St for the bid for the championship game this year? I don't think this would have sit well with FSU! Or, ND jumps an ACC school for a better bowl even though they might have a better record and have beaten ND that year. Until ND is a full membr of the ACC, they will only cause resentment and instability. [/QUOTE]
