Message: [QUOTE="StillJimPA, post: 18293, member: 517"] It's late, and I know I am getting petty, but a thought on another factor occurred to me. The East Coast has been historically very important to ND going back to the Rockne era. The Northeast has the highest concentration of Irish Catholics in the country. It is really the historical tap root of ND's popularity. I don't expect ND to join the ACC, and if they don't the ACC may very well snag UConn and Rutgers. This means the ACC would have locked up every major metropolitan area on the East Coast along with the home teams. Now, no one would openly state it but scheduling could become very difficult for ND on the East Coast. It would leave Navy and Army available more or less on demand but that is about it. Something for ND to consider in their deliberations. [/QUOTE]
