Message: [QUOTE="Cusefan95, post: 883566, member: 173"] SO Notre Dame would have gotten a deal from the ACC instead, the Big East would have gotten even crappier bowl deals than they managed...and the football playing schools would have left as soon as possible. And we'd be at basically the same spot as we are now, possibly sooner. Your "solution" is horrible - the deal with ND was made because it bought the Big East some temporary stability - but the Big East was NEVER in a position of strength AND actually was getting something of value out of the deal. They just could come up with any other cards to make a legitimate hand. Edit: If Notre Dame eventually joins the ACC - which is a possibility where Notre Dame joining the Big East never fully was - it will have been an incredible coup by Swofford. [/QUOTE]
