If ND does "leave" or disassociate from the ACC, it is something they've long thought about and worked on.  It wouldn't be just a spur of the moment reaction.  They may have long been unhappy about any of a number of things, like not having more influence in the ACC, like being unhappy that the ACC isn't more successful both on the field and on the court and in the TV arena, and/or like thinking the future of top college sports is only with the SEC and B1G.  If the B1G does change its position and allow a ND association (without full football membership), it could be because their Commissioner Tony Petitti was able to convince enough B1G members to do it.  He MAY need to do this, make a big splash, to divert attention away from the way he handled (or mis-handled) the whole private equity investment issue by trying to push it through without the various university boards of trustees knowing about it or having any say in the matter.  The stand taken by the Michigan and USC boards of trustees may have saved the other members from a big mistake.

For anyone not familiar with the B1G private equity issue, go read the last few pages of the Thread
