"Permanent Damage."

If Inigo Montoya doesn't show up soon to have a word with Bevacqua, I'm going to assume Notre Dame is leaving the ACC.

ACC 0-for-

Syracuse losers to Hofstra
Florida State losers to get this, umess
Pitt losers to Nova
bcu, losers, even though they didn’t play anyone, just losers

If they looked at the big picture, and maybe they will start to, Clemson and FSU should be happy to have UConn. It SHOULD be another win on their football schedules, at least in the short term. And those wins would look much better than beating bcu. They also get the benefit of playing our Olympic sports and recruiting in the Northeast much closer to NYC than su and cuse.

Aren’t su and Cuse the same school?

Notre Dame is embarrassing themselves. They have no place to go other than the Big East.

Oh come on zoo, don’t be so exclusionist. Notre Dame has plenty of options…
They can go cry themselves to sleep for being left out.
They can go flip themselves for being like locusts to the Big East and ACC.
They can go screw themselves by scorning the conference that gives them winnable games.
They can go hate themselves for failing to be relevant AGAIN in the CFP.
Or like we normal Catholics like to do,
They can go and repent themselves for their hubris…nevermind, we have a better chance at the Big10 than ND does at showing actual humility.

Whatever we think of ND, they can join Big or SEC anytime they want.
It’s not purely money for them.

They don’t want to take a hit financially, but they want the prestige of being Indy as the main priority. They will hold that and fight for that as long as they can.
And anytime they feel people are forgetting who they are, they pull out the ‘we are ND’ card.

But when the Indy path runs its course, ND will have a seat at the big boy table in any conference they choose.

They CANNOT join the Big or SEC “any time they want.” Neither of them will accept ND as long as they want to be treated differently than other members.

They can get plenty of games with the individual members but if they want be accepted as members without financial benefit to the conferences, it ain’t happening.

Could they be accepted as associate members in all sports except football? Perhaps, but what is the benefit to those conferences. What do they add? Show me the money.

As full members.

They don't want to be full members. They want a sweetheart scheduling agreement and a home for the rest of the sports.

They're too selfish to ever do it. The way they are now, they know that have a better than likely path to the CFP every year. If they join the B1G or SEC, they're looking at being 3rd or 4th best in their conference every year, so they'll be hoping for an at large bid. Having 9 conference games against the B1G and SEC is much different than they're current ACC scheduling agreement.

The alumni and the boosters want that. The administration, not so much.
