Message: [QUOTE="OrangeXtreme, post: 5602336, member: 41"] When Notre Dame approached the Big East back in 1995 about taking in their Hoops and Non-revenue programs, they were very clear that Football would NEVER be part of the equation. The vote by the BE University Presidents was unanimous. When ND approached the ACC with the same deal, the vote among the ACC University Presidents was overwhelmingly in support (and might even have been unanimous too). Clearly all these University Presidents and Chancellors saw some benefit to having ND as a partial member. Will the ACC survive without ND? Sure. Will our TV revenue take a hit? Absolutely. Will ND have a scheduling issue? No way. There will be teams lined up to play them. Now we're back to having an odd number of Hoops teams. [/QUOTE]
