Interesting comments...here is a few other points you should know:
[LIST]
[*]contracts can be broken including the GOR--its a negotiating piece
[*]Notre Dame is not going to sign it nor is Louisville
[*]Big 12 GOR [B]extension[/B] has not yet been signed--Texas and Okla waiting to determine whether conference is expanding...is FSU leaving the ACC?
[*]NBC is going [B]large[/B] BE TV contract...think $9-$12 million per team--that is still a monstrous jump from where the conference has been...Notre Dame may help with this negotiation but is looking at $20-$25/year on own--one reason for negotiations going so slow with ACC
[/LIST]
Apparently, according to my source, the ACC/Notre Dame negotiations have proceeded a fair way down the road--proudly the ACC is holding to its points as is Notre Dame...note articles ESPN keeps throwing out on Notre Dame--nearly all NEGATIVE! [B]ESPN can lose the BE contract but cannot let the ACC get hurt[/B]!!! Also note silence on Orange Bowl tie in with Notre Dame--cannot tie in necessarily with team that is playing 4-6 conference games a year...may lead to duplication for Orange Bowl teams that already played (working thru this gambit)
 
This will all work out but not nearly as quickly as previously thought.
