Well stated, Jake.  I had the same thoughts regarding ND.  I just don't see them sitting well in the Big 10+.  I figured that the ACC was a better match for them, regardless of the distance.  The ACC has a high population of strong academic private schools.  Plus, they have a perfect landing zone for their up and coming lacrosse program (although I'm sure that Lax has very little to do with any of this...but I'm sure it's a consideration).  I thought the ND AD's comments were more of a smoke screen.  I think they know more than they a letting on.  Personally, I don't think ND wants to get played by the Big 10+.  They want to go somewhere where it appears like THEY are making the call.  If they go to the Big 10+, there will always be rumblings that they were manipulated or had to kneel before the Big 10+ brass.  No, I think ND is going to throw a curve ball here and stick it to the Big 10.  They will hold out to the end and join the ACC with all the pomp and circumstance they want.  The Big Whatever will end up with Missouri and Kansas, which make better sense there than anyplace else.  It'll be ND's proverbial knife to the heart of the conference that has always wanted them.
