I think the Shamrock game is going to stay with NBC as part of their 7 NBC games a year, but if Syracuse, Boston College, Pittsburgh, Duke, Wake Forest, Miami would rotate as a Shamrock game for ND then they could play 6 ACC games a year, and play 2 home, 1 Shamrock, and 3 ACC road games. That 6th game would be a good paycheck game for those 6 schools from ND and would help the ACC/ESPN, and give ND a name opponent for their Shamrock series. Playing BC in Foxboro, SU in Metlife, Duke/Wake in BOA/Georgia Dome, Miami in Chicago, Pittsburgh in Philly or wherever. I think ND is going to eventually join a conference when the B1G expands their conference schedules and ND won't be guaranteed playing Purdue/Michigan State each year they will have less automatic games on their schedule. ND plays 5 teams every year right now USC, Stanford, Navy, Michigan State, and Purdue. Notre Dame dumped Michigan last year which was their 6th annual opponent. Typically ND sprinkles in Boston College, Pittsburgh, 1 Shamrock game, and one of Air Force/Army/BYU.
 
However, now with the 5 ACC games they are going to play 5 ACC games, Navy, USC, Stanford, Michigan State, Purdue, and 1 Shamrock game and only 1 open slot. ND's schedule doesn't have much freedom anymore with only 1 open slot they are quasi-ACC football members.
