Report: Notre Dame in Talks to Join ACC as Full Member

[huskyrob1]

LOL - NBC already renewed 2015 through 2025.

ND and NBC Extend Football Contract to 2025

If they could back out now they would, they overpaid just like ESPN did.

 

[huskyrob1]

NBC just renewed for ten years, until 2025.

Just renewed???? My calendar says late 2014 was 2 and a half years ago. Lol

 

[huskymedic]

There are problems in South Bend, NBC is not going to renew, so ND wants in to the ACC now.

I stayed away from the ND/Brando talk because I can't see it happening anytime soon but it got me thinking about their TV contract. They are with NBC through 2025 but are they screwed afterwards?
NBC was bidding against ESPN and Fox last time around but since ND has to join the ACC if they are going to join any conference before 2036 why would ESPN or Fox bid for them? ESPN would already own them if they are forced to join the ACC and the Big Ten can’t get them until 2036. The way I see it NBC is the only game in town if they want to remain independent (don’t see CBS bidding since they have the best SEC games already).

BS. Did you call them up and they told you that?

There has never been a bidding war. NBC and ND just renew their deals.

Neither ESPN nor anyone else has ever bid on the deal. ND has never gone on the market with this deal.

NBC and ND have a contractual relationship that began in 1991 and continues through 2025.

It has always been the only game in town, that is not going to change.

Yeah, that was soooo very long ago.

I think you missed my point. There may not have been an outright bidding war but NBC had to give ND a competitive contract because there was nothing keeping ND from going to Fox or ESPN. In 2025 (or perhaps sooner) NBC, in my opinion, has more leverage since the alternative for ND is to join the ACC full time.

ESPN would sign the Irish just to have the ability to control most if ND inventory across all it's platforms

I didn't miss your point. My statement is that the 2015 renewal is the same as the 1995 one, and every other one. It will likely be the same for the 2025 renewal.

ND and NBC really like the deal and will renew it in the same manner as before. There is no need for "leverage" here. Both sides want to keep the deal with each other.

Is silicone buoyant?

 

[AZHuskiePop]

Is silicone buoyant?

Isn't Silicon sand
In the Ocean,lakes, Ponds or even rivers the sand is normally where:
1 Top
2 Bottom

Ha, it's irrelevant, she'll have every male within 100 yds jumpin in to pull her out.

 

[CL82]

Yeah but who's more credible him or Jim from AOL.

Sand can be silicon.
Silicone contains oxygen.
Sorry, back to 63% ACC member ND.

Does has a old Big East tone to it, really need to make this happen.

With 6 straight losing seasons in football and 14 gridiron wins in the last 4 years, it ain't happening.

 

[buddy]

Even if it was 6 straight winning seasons it is not happening. The ACC ship has sailed it seems.

BC you mean? Actually with BC it's worse, football is bad enough, men's and women's basketball are jokes.

 

[JeepCSC]

Yeah, that was soooo very long ago.

Well to be fair, it's been over 4 years since they announced the renewal. And a lot has changed since. For one, ND is now getting lapped by closer to $10+ million compared to other P5 teams. And obviously the market has shifted in an as yet undetermined way. Will you all ever join? Unforseeable by us on the outside. But plausible. More plausible than it seemed 4 years ago.

Replying to @HoopsWeiss
Let's pump the breaks here Hoops! I've stated there have been discussions, informal yes, but it's my strong opinion it's a matter of time.

Tim Brando‏ @TimBrando 1h 1 hour ago
Noticed Brian Kelly told Rotary Club His Dept. "Values Independence". A statement that belies comments privately & on record in past to me.

Tim Brando‏ @TimBrando 1h 1 hour ago
I'll repeat one last time. There was NEVER a report by me. So ND bloggers and local television stations. I answered a ? on a radio show..ok?


OK!

How is ND independent? Aren't all of their other sports officially in the ACC? Is ND considered independent just because their football team can schedule 5 or 6 out of conference games instead of the usual 3 or 4 every other team is limited to? Is that what independence amounts to? A few extra out of conference games a year for the football team?

I agree, with both men's and women's basketball playing in the conference tournament, saying the school is an independent is laughable. IIRC the men's team won the ACC conference championship a couple years ago.

 

[Seaa Blue]

The juxtaposition (big word for me) of the arguments "oh yes, we are completely and equally contractually bound to the ACC" vs. the concurrent argument "independence or death (preferable over the Big Ten) for ND," is a curious one.
