Notre Dame looking to pull out of SU game

[hoopsupstate]

I just read that ND is looking to not play Syracuse or North Carolina on the road next year. Typical bs from ND.

 

[orangemass]

hmm Maybe and opportunity to make 2026 schedule even more attractive

Pay us a check and so be it.

I have to believe the University used the ND game as a big reason to increase ticket prices next year. It could be a problem if they pull out.

I think that is fake news. They need two ACC road games. Unless they change Stanford to a road game, I don’t see it.

I think because of the new deal with Clemson and maybe FSU, their deal playing 4-5 ACC teams might have changed.

No that is set in stone as being part of the ACC. They need to play 5 ACC scheduled games each year. Clemson games are outside of that.

Not sure if it is true, but I would welcome it, take a paycheck for the buyout and schedule another power 4 school that is more of a toss up game. Sign me up for a game against a Big 12 school like Ok State or Colorado, or even a bottom feeder Big 10 school like Purdue again.

There aren't teams looking this late for another P4 opponent, especially on the road.

I don't believe the rumor to be true, but if it is then we better get 7 home games next year. At least that somewhat justifies the STH price increase. If we have only 6 games and no ND it will kill STH sales IMO.

Isn’t it because the acc is looking for more conference games and ND not in the conference

ESPN would not be happy with losing a Notre Dame game. They are getting two.

I agree, and as a fan it’d be cool to see a team like OK State or Colorado play in the dome. I understand it’s not ND, but I like the chance of winning combined with a unique opponent.

I think we should respond by canceling our 2025 game in South Bend.

Let’s have a two week bye!

They know Angeli's coming back and taking names

Maybe we can play B.C. twice

Was going to write the same exact thing. Good for the Goose...

And make sure it is a large check

I’m pulling my eyes out of the ND game 11/22 that’s for sure

 

[HtownOrange]

FSU dropped the ND game due to the new 9-game s conference schedule. When the 9-game conference slate was implemented ND knew they would have to accommodate some changes and were probably considering all options within the ACC slate of games.

I did a quick search but there isn’t a lot of fuel for this fire. If anyone has solid sources, please share.

There isn’t IMO.

Notre Dame needs a 2nd ACC road game and needs 10 P4s. So this isn’t coming from them.

On the ACC side moving ND around should only impact schools that have 2 OOC P4s and don’t want 11 P4 games (9 ACC + 2). That isn’t SU.

Edit
I bet the rumor is UNC. They have TCU is Dunblin plus 9 ACC. So they will be replaced.

Thank, OrangeExtreme.

They have no logic for dropping SU. As the one guy stated he hopes it’s not UNC as he wants to go to UNC but schools generally base their decisions on more than a fan’s whim.

Best not to pull out
Notre Dame in way too deep for that
Doing so would be simply uncivilized
