I think ND knows that they will have a problem finding bowls.  That's one of the major reasons for joining a conference with many football bowl tie-ins.   Sure ND could lock themselves into 1 lower tier bowl like Navy has done with the one in DC and BYU has done with the one in SF, but they don't seem to be willing to do that.  While in the BE, they are attached to the BE bowl structure.  They will do the same in the ACC arrangement.   The C7 can't offer them any of this, and none of the major football conferences will be willing to share their bowl tie-in with Notre Dame without something in return from Notre Dame.   The good bowls are now locking in both sides of their games under contract with conferences.    BYU is finding this out now having to makedirect arrangements with the Poinsettia Bowl in one year and the Fight Hunger Bowl in another.   This is why BYU may be ready to go back into a conference. 
 
That's why this C7 deal along with a totally independent football team isn't a good option for ND.
