So, in Notre Dame's eyes the ACC should have spent their time advocating for a team that is not in the ACC?? And NOT in favor of a team, Miami, that actually IS in the ACC? I mean, Notre Dame ITSELF has made it perfectly clear, they are independent in football. As ORD said, if ND made the playoff, none of that money was gonna end up in the ACC coffers. Fuck them. Ridiculous.

Well, you're obviously ignoring the fact that ND sells stadiums out when they come to play these poverty ACC teams. So the ACC should be thanking them for lowering themselves to the ACC level. In fact, fuck the B1G and the SEC for not getting into a bidding war to sign up for a semi-partnership with ND. And fuck the NFL, too. And why the fuck doesn't every money making company in the entire world pay a 10% fee for being lucky enough to watch ND every weekend?

All good points. I stand corrected and can only hope Notre Dame doesn't read what I said earlier.

Wrong glass, Sir.
It makes no sense to bring them into the B1G. While their NBC deal and parasitic playoff arrangement with the acc keeps them close enough to B1G money to stay indy, they still make less. In other words, they wouldn't even cover their full 1/19th share much less provide some windfall for the conference teams.

Too soon old, too late smart
Maybe this will catalyze the ACC/NCAA etc NOT to write 'sweetheart' language into the play-off protocols. "ND will be included in the playoffs if they are rated #10 or above". Pretty certain I paraphrased that. Anyway, although 'they' said that not playing a conference title game wouldn't hurt a team (pointed at ND), it's clear that it did. Bama got steam-rolled by Georgia, but as a 9-3 team, still made the play-offs (!), but ND did not. That would be my bone of contention. And no, don't really want the Domers in the B10, but I'm an old guy, and recollect that the suitor B10 has been jilted by ND forever. Crazy question, but does anyone know how the viewership has been (up?) since the B10 absorbed the Pac12 four?

Wrong glass, Sir.
I don't know about overall viewership, but I do know that Ohio State, Alabama and (maybe) the cheaters beat ND in ratings and viewers every year. Domers are usually 4th or 5th. It's not the 60s anymore with every Catholic family in the country caring about Notre Dame.

There is getting a little out of line at ND and then there is flat ass dead to me bridge burning.
Hope he never considers the latter.

on3 has them at the 15th most viewed team. 15th! They don't make the cutoff for the 12 team viewed teams playoff.
