Sooooo you're claimig that a ND admin said "[i]t was more than that. It was that the ND faithful would actually decide who the 16th member of the ACC would be!"? Riiiiiiiiight.
 
Now, two things:
1) ND + any school makes $$$ sense, so that point is moot.
2) You clearly haven't made this mental leap yet, so I'll help you out. ND plays Navy every year because the Navy kept them afloat during WWII (pun intended). Adding Navy to the ACC effectively gives ND an extra OOC game, which means they have to cut one less of Purdue, Michigan State, USC, and Stanford. There aren't any teams in existance who would make up for the loss of one of ND's main rivals in their eyes. And to clarify, when I say "their eyes," I mean the eyes of ND fans who pay ND's bills. So your whole Navy might not make financial sense for ND argument is beyond dumb.
3) There's a very good chance that there wouldn't be an ACC as we know it right now, but for ND. Do you really think that the ACC brass is going to make a stand?[/i]
