Back during that year while the ACC had 11 (Syracuse had vbacked away from being #12, and the ACC decided to try to woo NDS and then would accept BC if ND said No. I also believe rthta they had agreed that if ND were to join and wanted 14 members, they would then also add BC and Syracuse or whoever else ND might want), I began posting on ND boards. I always said that eventually we would get to a day when either ND would join the ACC or else ND would be 'forced' to join the BT.

The universal ND fan response was that ND was far too big to ever be forced by anybody or any group to do anything. I think most ND boosters and fans still retain that hubris.

And your point is spot on. If ND made 18 for football, then forever the ACC would remain a Major conference. ND making that move would not just checkmate all SEC and BT plans to have just them left standing as Major, but would lead immediately to the moist valuable schools in the Big 12 wanting to know if the ACC would add them to become a truly Super conference.
