Notre Dame AD: ACC did “permanent damage”

SFbayCane said:
As we get a couple days of distance from the selection and ND's reaction, my thought is changing a bit. I'm sort of the opinion that ND wanted out of the ACC for a while now any may be using this event as a negotiating ploy to minimize the exit fees.

Just a thought.

That's a reasonable conclusion to draw and certainly possible. There is more money to be made in the BIG or SEC and those two conferences are king right now, so there's that. I think ND values independence more than increased revenues, and that is much harder to do without the ACC deal.

I pay close attention to ND, and have heard nothing about wanting to move on from the ACC until recently. There are complaints that are really no different than yours - the refs are ****, the conference leadership is incompetent, teams are **** which hurts SOS, but nothing about leaving.

I have to disagree with you. They want no part of a Big Ten or SEC heavy schedule every year.

They’re perfectly content with all their other sports being in our conference and beating up the bottom feeders of ours, while maintaining their independence.

In my opinion, this will all blow over and they aren’t going anywhere. We are the only conference that has sent dictate so many of their terms.

I actually felt slightly bad for Notre Dame being left out when it happened. Definitely thought they deserved to be in and were being screwed by placing Bama / 5 SEC teams over them.

After the past couple days... ****em. Learned my lesson, will never ever feel sorry for those entitled pricks again.

This. They wouldn't be able to pick and choose the generally subpar teams they pick to play if they were actually in a conference.
