What is best for ND's FB program? IMO it would be joining the ACC. That will allow ND to compete on the field. The ACC is weaker, and at the same time it will help ND to recruit nationally. In the ACC, ND would have 6 home games (which helps to recruit the MW), would be in a Northeast pod (which helps to recruit that area), play a Florida team twice every three years (which helps to recruit there), play Mid-Atlantic teams once every three years (which helps to recruit those areas of talent), play Southern schools once every three years, play OCC vs USC and Navy (away games in SD) which helps to recruit California, play OOC vs Rice (which will help recruit in Texas), and then finish it all of with Michigan. Is that not the perfect gameplan for the program? Sure they are losing Stanford, Mich St, and Purdue but long term wouldn't it be better to play in every area of the country? And to play in a conference that you can actually win once in awhile? I look at that schedule and see 9 to 10 Ws every year.
 
 Do you really think playing 8 to 9 B1G games, USC, Stanford, and Navy is a formula for success? And wouldn't that be cutting off rivalries with BC and Pitt? Going to the B1G would mean zero NE and zero Florida games for ND. Wouldn't that hurt recruiting and hurt being connected with alumni? Not to mention the would have a lot more influence in the ACC, while being just one of the crowd in the B1g. Also wouldn't moving their BBall to a MW league hurt that sport as well as its connection with Eastern alumni?
