ND football and the ACC are not partners and never were


We were "co-combatants" in a sense.

We were both trying to avoid and survive the expansion of the Big Ten.

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend" describes the interests of ND football and the ACC in 2012.

Hence, the current set of contracts.

But, surrendering independence to the ACC is not that much different or better than surrendering it to the Big Ten, in ND's eyes.

That is the underlying and perennial source of conflict between us.

I think some ACC people thought that was a mere ditch that could be bridged over time.

It is not, it is more like a chasm.
