The day Notre Dame joins ACC football will be the day the NCAA punishes UNC. Dream on.

I’d give the Irish an ultimatum to join the ACC fully or leave. It’s absurd to give Notre Dame, of all schools, partial ACC membership and they keep their football money to themselves. That would be like giving Duke and UNC the same deal and letting them be independent in basketball.

The ACC is already too big. Unless West Virginia was added, right now no other team would be a sensible economic fit. And any additional Florida teams coming into the league would be like the BC admission- get Boston or Orlando in our footprint. I don’t think the Boston footprint is working too well, John.

If the ACC is looking for revenue, recurring revenue, maybe it’s time to allow a return of ACC rivalries that built this league in the first place, still would make money and build fan interest, such as State-Duke twice a year in basketball and every year in football. Same for Wake Forest-UNC. Put the ACCT in Greensboro permanently, and start allowing baseball to have home-and-away series between the Big Four schools every season.

The bigger this league gets, the further it gets from its roots. NASCAR should be the Exhibit A example of what trying to re-invent the wheel will do to this league. Expansion ain’t working, and I think it’s going to continue to pull this league apart in the long run, especially if more teams are added.
