If (when) ND comes to the ACC in football, I see 3 candidates

Not in any order

*Navy if that's who ND wants to bring. Navy's other sports are fine, except basketball and the ACC doesn't need another basketball powerhouse. Only thing is, does Navy want to step up to this level? Will Army get a place in the B1G and will Air Force go the PAC? IMHO it would have to be a package deal and all three and mainly the DOD would have to want this, if the DOD wants it, it's done.

*WVU. They have many close and natural rivals in the ACC. They are a fish out of water in the Big 12, it's just odd even though they have had some really good games there. Challenges: Academic rating, but we did let Louisville in.

*Texas, yep Texas is the dark horse here. They see Texas A&M getting not only exposure in the southwest, they see them getting a ton of expouse in the southeast. Texas sees the Dallas Cowboys in the NFC East for decades become America's team and they just might want to be the Dallas Cowboys of college football. Challenges: Will their former rivals like Oklahoma schedule them or any others for that fact? Will they just be to mad to play them? (Side note: If Oklahoma goes to the SEC, I could see them still scheduling Texas since they to left)

So have at it, who do you have coming with Notre Dame if (when) it happens?
