Going forward, ND will receive $50-60 million a year from NBC and at least $23 million a year from the ACC/ESPN/ACC Network. (ND gets a full ACC Network share, which keeps going up)

ND will also receive over $18-19 million a year every year it makes the playoffs (including a $6 million a year independents only bonus) and $12-13 million when it does not.

That will total $90-100 million a year each year in TV/conference/playoff money.

That is P2 level money and ND didn't have to sue anyone, pay an exit fee or a GOR buyout or even join a football conference to make that much.

Jack Swarbrick did a lot of work the past couple of years to set an independent ND up very well.

How much would ESPN pay ND, total, if it fully joined the ACC for football?  How much increase would the other schools get?  From what?

Would ND take a financial haircut to join the ACC in full ?  If so, how much?

If ND didn't take that haircut, where would the extra money to benefit other ACC members come from?

Would ND get even more money if it joined in full?  If not, then.....

It is likely not financially feasible for ND to join the ACC in football.

That is before we even get to the fact that it strongly wants to stay independent and not join any conference at all, ever.
