Message: [QUOTE="longtimefan, post: 353454, member: 212"] Right out of Swofford's mouth: 1.) A 16th team will not be added. He was succinct and adamant on this point. 2.) Revenues--The break down is 80% football/20% other sports. And ND will get a 1/15 share of the 20%. (And keep all of their NBC money, of course.) 3.) ND is in the bowl mix, and can be chosen ahead of a full conference member who has one more win. There was some gobbledygook in there about which team has the higher ranking, etc., but that was unclear to me. 4.) ND may be the ACC opponent in the Orange Bowl on occasion. The splitting of the money from the Orange and all other bowls was confusing to me, but I do think he said ND gets to keeps all of the revenue if they are in a BCS-level game other than the Orange. And, take if for what it's worth, Swarbrick said the move was "revenue-neutral" for the Irish. [/QUOTE]
