Message: [QUOTE="Ttk.gman2, post: 5596057, member: 10621"] What will the ACC do without Notre Dame helping bolster its profile and financials? I feel like this could be another sign of the conference slowly losing its influence and prestige, especially when the next wave of conference realignment hits. The ACC needs to consistently compete at a high level year in and year out to maintain relevance, but having a program like Duke as the conference champion doesn’t exactly inspire confidence. If the league can’t sustain top-tier competition, it risks losing its power-conference status over time, which would have long-term implications for recruiting, television revenue, and national perception. In short, the ACC can’t afford to fall behind — it needs to stay competitive to remain a major player in college football. [/QUOTE]
