A couple of thoughts about NYC and making SU attractive to the ACC. The ACC wanted SU in the early 2000s before the whole NY's College Team. We are attractive because of basketball with a respectable football name. GA Tech, FSU, Miami and BC were schools who wanted us (partially to help keep the Triangle schools from making it all about basketball). Swofford was aware that football was driving the TV bus and he didn't want the big football programs jumping elsewhere. Nothing DG has done suddenly made SU more attractive to the ACC (other than maybe returning their phone calls unlike Jake and Buzz)

I would go as far to say that if Jake/Buzz were willing to flip after the initial vote, that SU would have been added before BC a decade ago.

As far as these games, Alsacs makes a very valid point about SU giving up two HOME games to MetLife. There is little doubt that ND would have been open to making one of the MetLife games a home game for them as they will dominate the crowd anyway. SU obviously needs the extra $ from these games, but I think that the new tv deal should give DG and the AD a bit more flexibility to get a marquee game to the Dome.
