Message: [QUOTE="SU94, post: 3931743, member: 202"] 100% valid question. I'd argue that we do, that we are better off with the Irish riding sidecar in football (5 annual games), but this upcoming alliance certainly (at least at face value) reduces that need. If ND left the ACC, this alliance would (if it includes a two OOC game agreement) put a bit of a squeeze on ND's scheduling operation. It would not make it insurmountable the Golden Domers, just a bit more challenging. I suppose they can always get games with the Big 12 leftovers, plus their steadies at USC, Navy, Stanford, (BYU - less so), etc. I hope the Pac-B1G-ACC realize that 12 playoff teams is looney and that the right number is eight. That, too, would make ND's path forward more challenging. [/QUOTE]
