I'm not a fan of the arrangement either.


It was a desperation move on the ACC's part. Notre Dame took advantage of the ACC's fears and now play their Olympic sports and basketball in a Power 5 conference. Note Dame did what was best for them. For the next 11 years, They'll have a very nice home for their Olympic sports. They have to play 4 or 5 ACC football teams in return.

I agree with TerryD (a Notre Dame poster on here) that Notre Dame will never give up their football independence. Notre Dame will probably push for more P-5 independents. I think once BYU, Army, Navy, Air Force, and maybe a few others get their P-5 football independent status, I can see the Big 10, SEC, Big 12, and Pac 12 supporting a handful of football independents in order to prevent Notre Dame from ever joining the ACC as a full member. Notre Dame will never join a conference for football. Football independence is very important to them. The ACC will have to part ways with them in 2027.
