Report: Notre Dame in Talks to Join ACC as Full Member

Tim Brando of Fox Sports has reported that Notre Dame is having conversations about joining the Atlantic Coast Conference for football. Already a member in all other sports, the Fighting Irish would become the 15th full-time member if this were to happen.

If true, could this spark a move toward 16-team P5 conferences?

Wow that UConn article is full of some real doozies.

"ESPN’s highly-publicized financial woes shouldn’t affect the ACC network’s development."

"With a rabid, regionally relevant fan base and multiple successful, high-profile athletic programs, UConn would provide a full slate of programming assets across the academic year guaranteed to draw great ratings and keep subscribers from the highly-coveted New York City market through the #30 Hartford-New Haven DMA and into Boston.

Heck, UConn’s women’s basketball program has been drawing larger audiences than NBA teams."

"The ACC may even see UConn’s greatest weakness in the realignment beauty pageant, tackle football, as less of a factor given the new variables involved."

There are two Power Conferences, the Big Ten and SEC, in college football.  The national media ignores west coast college sports, with one or two exceptions.

The ACC network will earn money through cable subscription fees.  ESPN and the Big Ten reduce their rates "out of market" but "in market they charge a ton.  An ACC network with UConn would be 'in market' in the state with highest annual salary per capita, by far.  There are still over ten million cable subscribers in NY and connecticut so whether they pay .25 or $1.00 per sub is a big deal.

Not valid...BYU not in the mix.  Switch Idaho for the Borg and I'm pretty sure it's a done deal!

There is no more 'big money' to be made.  The Pac 12's only major revenue enhancement in 2024 is to contract to ten schools because they can keep the same cable subscribers without Oregon State and Washington State.

Then BYU, Washington State, and Oregon State go with the best of the MW that aren't in the Big 12 form a new Mountain West.

My guess would be SDSU and Fresno State, Nevada, UNLV, Boise State, New Mexico and UTEP.  Air Force and Hawaii are football only members.   BYU won't be in a conference with Utah State and Washington State and Oregon State won't be in a conference with Wyoming or SJSU because of low average attendance.  BYU probably also feels the same about Wyoming and SJSU.

Divisions could be

Mountain

Boise State

New Mexico

UTEP

BYU

Washington State

Air Force

West

Oregon State

SDSU

FSU

Nevada

UNLV

Hawaii

Here's my attendance figure info http://www.minerrush.com/2015/4/7/8148419/group-of-five-attendance-numbers-aac-mw-mac-sun-belt-cusa

These are some bvllcrap 'murican tacos with preformed baked shells but if there's anything I've learned in this life it's that there is no such thing as a bad taco.  There are only less good tacos.

Notre Dame has ABSOLUTEY NOTHING to gain from joining ACC in football and would in fact lose money joining

second no one is reporting this other than Brando who well I wouldn't want to name a source on anything really. However at the Spring meetings they are talking about a lot of things and usually at these meetings there is talk about expansion that doesn't go anywhere.

However for Notre Dame they have nothing to gain and everything if they were even considering joining ACC in football. I think this is much ado about nothing

No, they wouldnt lose money.  They would benefit financially.  ND got 6.2 million as a partial member in the last ACC revenue distribution.  the full members got 26.2 million.  The ND/NBC deal is worth an estimated 15 million a year.

 

 

 

But this is one of those rare incidences where the money isnt the top factor.  ND LIKES being independent in football.  The exposure.  Being different.  It's an ego thing.  If it were only about money, they would have joined the Big 10 a decade ago (as opposed to being in the Big East all those years).  None of which is to say that they might not at some point throw in the towel and become a full ACC member.

In the beginning the Universe was created.
This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

Unless something major changes to the playoff, Notre Dame and the ACC just agreed to extend their current agreement until 2037 on May 11th.

That was essentially just them ratifying the football portion of the ACC Network deal that pushed the grant of media rights out to 2037.

I don't see that happening.  ND likes to play big boss.  Try that shit in the Big Ten.

Even more so why people don't understand how toxic Texas is to the Big Ten and their culture.  The Big Ten needs neither the money nor the internal cancer that Texas would bring into the conference.  Throw in the fact that Texas won't give up their precious Longhorn Network and ESPN will try and steer them to the SEC to keep the content while folding it into one of their money making properties, and Texas to the BIG ain't happening.  Oklahoma is a non-starter for academic reasons, and is quite honestly a much better fit in the SEC.  I think the BIG was looking at UVA and UNC for 15 & 16, and that's now off the table, so they'll stand pat at 14.

I'm looking forward to a new head coach who isn't a cud-chewing autistic retard.
