Despite what I have said in these pages before, people just don't want to listen to me. That's fine. If you ACC folks want to keep sticking your fingers in your ears and going: lalalalalala, I can't hear you... well, what are you going to do, right?
Another "expert" is saying that Notre Dame will be joining the ACC.
Even if you are Notre Dame, there can come a time when the brand needs to be extended. That’s the appeal the ACC offers.
Does even watch college football?
Newsflash Caulton, but the ACC isn't exactly the best "brand name" in the world right now. Also, Notre Dame is recruiting just fine, thank you very much.
You think Notre Dame wants to lose all the traditional rivalries they have across the country and be forced to play NC State and Duke every year? By joining the ACC, Notre Dame would have to give up a big portion of their schedule, they would lose the NBC television contract, and they wouldn't have that special status of being an independent. There's a lot to be said for controlling your own destiny.
The ACC would benefit greatly, but Notre Dame...not so much. Keep wishing, ACC.
ND is currently working to stay independent in football, renew NBC contract, and move all non-football sports from bid east to ACC. ACC is upgrade over bid east, better recruiting territoryc & keeps all bid city, east-coast alumni happy from new York to Miami.
ReplyDeleteThe ACC is definitely an upgrade over the Big Least.
