Trying to shoot down what Brian Kelly said last week with comments Swarbrick made 7 months ago last summer is total bulls...hit. Kelly is the head coach and as such has tremendous say on scheduling and football independence. He would not of said what he said without Swarbrick's blessing. If Notre Dame stays independent despite all the warning bells, they will never make the playoffs, for the simple reason that they would be competing against ten teams (the top one or two in each P5 conference and maybe one G5 team) every single year. If they join the ACC in football (they already are ACC members in all other sports including basketball) their competition for the playoffs is one team, either Clemson or Miami. Adding to their revenue would be content from the ACC Network which starts next year, and a full share from the league, and if they join in football as a full member, I would bet their basketball revenue would see a bump up as well. The NBC contract would stay the same, with both sides sharing some content, and game rights.
