What's this?

The ones I talk to think for all intents and purposes they're already in.

But they also think ND won't join in full because they are making so much more money with the NBC Contract. They think it's driven by the cash. I don't know how much the NBC contract is worth, but I don't have the impression it's astronomically more. Plus the ACC has already agreed that ND can keep it if they join. ACC teams enjoy playing on NBC when they play at ND.

It truly comes down to 3 football games. ND is already in the ACC for everything else, goes to all the meetings, uses ACC officials for football, and Brian Kelly is on the Coaches teleconference 5 weeks out of the season just like every other ACC coach.

It's at the point that I don't know how much the ACC would gain from the 3 games other than the ability to move to 16 and have better scheduling than with 14. We would only get the equivalent of 1.5 games because some would be ND home games on the NBC contract. That's why the status quo doesn't bother me. The ACC might benefit more by having a new member in another market that brings 8 games of content.

Ever seen a lenghty document typed in all CAPS? -- HOKIESHARK 03/01/2019 09:21AM

Weren't federal govt documents sent via secured wire printed out in caps? -- VTHokie2000 03/01/2019 12:43PM

Anyway you can give us an Executive Summary? :-) ** -- Stech 02/28/2019 8:59PM

Both conferences are in trouble. -- HOO86 02/28/2019 9:53PM

Any mention of the top two teams playing for a playoff spot? Or is this -- Stech 03/01/2019 06:41AM

Yes. Top team from each in the Conference Championship Game. ** -- HOO86 03/01/2019 11:42AM

If the proposal is for the 2 conferences to play some sort of -- VTHokie2000 03/01/2019 12:38PM

How about the top three ranked conference champs are in, and... -- EDGEMAN 03/01/2019 1:03PM

That could work, but it could make things messy depending on -- VTHokie2000 03/01/2019 1:22PM

I would let the conferences choose their champion -- EDGEMAN 03/01/2019 1:50PM

Except I believe the idea is that the Big XII-Pac-12 ICCG will replace -- VTHokie2000 03/01/2019 1:56PM

Now that would be an interesting way to get to 4 playoff spots. ** -- Stech 03/01/2019 11:50AM

He wants to alternate the Championship Game (Rose Bowl and Jerry's World) ** -- HOO86 03/01/2019 12:53PM

I hate to say it, but Jerry World is the most central location w/ direct -- Stech 03/01/2019 7:01PM

I like that idea. A football playoff with... -- EDGEMAN 03/01/2019 08:12AM

ND will be included in the ACC...it's just a matter of time. They aren't -- Stech 03/01/2019 11:57AM

Any "ACC fan" pushing for a 8-team playoff wants to keep ND... -- EDGEMAN 03/01/2019 12:59PM

The 8 team playoff is the Conference Championship games. -- Stech 03/01/2019 7:05PM

If you look at past selection committee actions, that's not exactly correct -- EDGEMAN 03/02/2019 3:26PM

I am taking about what’s coming, not what’s happened. -- Stech 03/02/2019 4:08PM

Consider my fingers crossed -- EDGEMAN 03/03/2019 08:33AM

ND fans hate the idea of ND football in a conference -- TerryD 03/04/2019 11:43AM

That's quite melodramatic. We're only talking 3 games. -- HOO86 03/06/2019 3:59PM

It is way more than "three games" -- TerryD 03/07/2019 11:14AM

The ones I talk to think for all intents and purposes they're already in. -- HOO86 03/07/2019 11:36AM

If we go to 4 divisions in the ACC w/ 16, it's only 2 more games and teams -- Stech 03/08/2019 12:40PM

Its not just the number of games, its the idea of joining for football -- TerryD 03/08/2019 4:36PM

I agree with this post and your other post n this thread, it doesn’t happen -- Stech 03/08/2019 6:49PM

I say that because that is what AD Jack Swarbrick has said several times -- TerryD 03/04/2019 11:46AM

Sounds like we need one more tweak to the playoff series -- EDGEMAN 03/04/2019 11:59AM

Like the two ND guys that post here say, they won’t do it until some -- Stech 03/03/2019 08:50AM

No 8 team playoff until ND joins the ACC! -- EDGEMAN 03/03/2019 09:03AM

Most importantly ND will never join until that is their only path. I have -- Stech 03/08/2019 07:34AM

Not necessarily ;-) -- VTHokie2000 03/01/2019 1:29PM

Yep, If the rules get written -- RTFC 03/02/2019 10:56AM
