Message: [QUOTE="MiniCuse, post: 54194, member: 175"] I fully expect ND to end up in the ACC for all sports. Swofford started the dominos falling when he took the two programs that would guarantee the eventual collapse of the Big East. When Louisville, WVU and Cincy leave, and they will, ND will be left in the cold. Their football program is no longer strong enough to save their other sports. As the football landscape changes, their fanbase will not support football independence as the other sports are left unanchored. And their fanbase is not going to support a B12 move because culturally it does not make sense for ND. This is the same issue that has kept ND out of the B10. The only move that makes sense for ND is the ACC. The only other question, to me, on ACC expansion, is whether or not they can wrest Penn State out of the Big Ten. If PSU stays, flip a coin for UConn or Rutgers as the last one in. Heads it's UConn, Tails it's UConn. [/QUOTE]
