According to reports, the ACC said no thanks to UT's desire for a special deal for their LHN and TT as a partner school.

No doubt ND will try to get their best deal, but the ACC does not need ND for BB, does not include 7 fellow Catholic schools that form the core of ND's support in the Big East, is not some new conference as when the Big East was founded as a BB conference.

Offering a special deal is just asking for trouble; even if ND agreed to 3-5 football games a year, ND would likely not want to rotate among the 14 ACC teams, would want to pick and choose who it wanted to play, would no doubt want other special deals.
  
It made perfect sense for a desperate SU in the Big East to play ND at the Meadowlands for the publicity; now that SU is in the ACC, I hope SU only agrees to play them on a home and home basis. SU will be playing 9 ACC conference games along with one high profile Meadowland's game every 2 years: it is in an ideal position to schedule games as it chooses in the future.

The ACC has positioned itself well with the adds of SU and Pitt where it can proceed as it wants.
