Message: [QUOTE="Alsacs, post: 1543889, member: 652"] If ND committed to play in the ACC. The ACC could add Navy as the 16th team. ND could play 8 ACC games including Navy every year. Stanford, USC for their annual CA game. Plus 2 more OOC games and they could make an ACC team their Shamrock Game like they have done with Miami in Chicago, Maryland in DC, and Boston College in Fenway. ND doesn't want to join a conference because then they would have to share and would lose their Independence. The schedule is just a convenient crux for them. Right now 8 games are locked in every year. 5 ACC, Navy, USC, Stanford. So they if they committed to the ACC it would go from 8 committed games to 10 committed games. I have had this conservation tons of times with ND fans. My Godfather Uncle and cousin went to ND. They know its about money and keeping "independence". They would rather ND not make CFB playoffs than jon a conference. [/QUOTE]
