With one qualifier - ND has to commit full time for football.
 
ACC would now include traditional rivals for ND - BC, Pitt, Georgia Tech, Miami, Army, Navy and to a lesser extent FSU and Syracuse.
 
FSU/Clemson get what they want in a major football program in ND full time, plus Army and Navy are always FB more than BB schools. You get the annual Army/Navy game and the following of all the current and former military service folks. You also get academics with all 3 and help to expand the private school footprint in the ACC.
 
And you get the only other MD based D1 football program to replace Maryland. You get the current #1 football program in the land, a respectable football program in Navy (currently 7-4, bowl partcipant 8 of the last 9 years)...and well, at least Army has been [B]trying[/B] to be more competitive lately. And all 3 programs have a strong history.
 
You could set up the divisions with teams and an annual crossover where ND could play 6 or 7 traditional rivals every year in conference.
