The Big Ten knows ND will never join its conference. This CCG stuff is all about preventing the ACC from getting se xy CCG matchups and hurting the Big Ten in the ratings book.

ND will never be allowed by the ACC to play in its CCG without 8 conference games. It would cause a rebellion.  ND will stay indy and play 5 ACC games a year if they would commit fully ND could probably pick the 16th school and sit down with UNC/FSU/UVA/Duke and draw up the divisions however they want.

The 3+3+5 model is a divisionless formation that allows all 14 teams to play home/home over 4 years and still have a CCG game without divisions. The Big Ten sees the threat in that format. That FSU/Clemson could play in the CCG a lot more frequently and give the ACC good CCG ratings and drama. They don't want to force Ohio State/Michigan into the same kinda circumstance. While the ACC could lose some teams in a CFB playoff it would help the conference by having a premiere CCG matchup every year.

I don't get where you see ND involved here I would to hear it as you could be right.
