Every person and entity maximizes its own wealth


For Notre Dame to sacrifice their current position for the good of the ACC would be the height of stupidity. Notre Dame spent 100 years building its brand, and that brand is in part built on the mystique of being independent. Why would the Irish risk their own revenue and reputation to help a school like Wake Forest, who adds virtually nothing to the conference's commercial appeal? Do you think the Irish want an even revenue split when only 2-3 ACC programs can even compare to their revenue draw? Of course not.

Moreover, it's obvious that Notre Dame has sharp businessmen running their athletics. Do you think the Irish wants to be chained to that clown show running the ACC? The Big Ten is far more attractive for that reason alone.

It's very easy to apply personal ideals when it affects another's bottom line.
