Looks like ND is finally ditching the big east

They are joining the ACC in everything but football. They will however play 5 ACC opponents a year. Each ACC team will play ND once out of every 3 years. I think this is about as good as you could have done with ND. Closest they would get to joining a conference for football.

Only thing I don't get is how ND can get away with stealing a bowl slot from an ACC team every other year or so and not even being in the conference. It goes one step further however, ND can trump an ACC team for a bowl even if they have one more loss than said ACC team. They get all the revenues from it just as if they were an ACC team. Pretty sweet deal for ND, would have been very hard to turn down. If I was a fan of an ACC school I wouldn't like that part however. Imagine ND coming in and bumping Clemson down a spot in the bowl pool even though Clemson went 10-2 and ND went 9-3. And you know it would happen simply because they are ND. Just doesn't seem fair to the teams that are a part of the ACC.

I will admit that that is the only bad part. Good move by Swofford. If they would have just joined for football none of this would be a discussion. May be they will in the future? I know that's what the big east was hoping for at one time..

For the record bro, I don't think they will ever join a conference for football. Still not a bad deal for the ACC besides the bowl part. Great exposure and who wouldn't want to play ND every few years. Great GREAT deal for ND however. They get their cake and eat it too..
