I am not an ND fan, except when SU benefits from an ND win.  I respect the agreement between the ACC and ND, I don't like it.  That said, ND has historically used football as a recruiting tool and played in areas in/near larger Catholic populations.  Who'd of thought that?  (Sarcasm). This explains why the Big East deal and the ACC deal work well for ND.  They usually play 5-6 teams from the Atlantic coast, a couple West Coast, a couple in the Midwest and a couple anywhere else.  The math may change a little year to year but does not deviate much over time.

Presently, with an average of five ACC teams and Navy, they account for the six games along the East Coast, the most populated areas and some heavily Catholic regions.

With the B1G expansion, they could join the B1G under an ACC-Type agreement, especially if the ACC is to be decimated and the B1G picks up a few schools.  I would not put this past Petitti, especially after his PE fiasco.  Another round of expansion for fox, especially if Fox can harm ESPN (ACC and SEC) may pay more than some think.  We have heard constantly that TV was maxed out only to see the next contract for a much increased value for the last 40 years, since OU won the court case.

Anyway, just a thought to ponder, I have no inside info and am not convinced of the super conferences as the SEC prefers some variety and making more than most.
