Will ND get a full share of conference revenue even though football is technically not included? I read an interesting post on the Boneyard that theorized that ND asked for a full share from the BE, was rebuffed, and was able to get a full share from the ACC. The post was based on a conversation with someone that does business with Notre Dame and the BE. The post is long and I include a link below, but here's the part I thought interesting:
 
"He said that Notre Dame wanted a full football share of the upcoming Big East TV deal. They were told by the new commish that they will be treated just like the other non-football schools and would get the non-football share only. This is a significant shift in the tone and message from Big East leadership with the new commish from the relationship they used to have with the conference powers. Notre Dame insisted that they get the full football share, but he BE was not backing down.

Therefore, Notre Dame had discussion with the ACC and were given the money they were looking for from the BE by the ACC for their non-football membership. This move had to have been "assisted" by ESPN...as they are the ones who will have agreed to give the ACC the extra money to pay ND given the ACC contract. This is just another attempt to weaken the BE and eliminate quality content for competitors."
