Literally the first answer out of Giansante made me laugh.
[B]So why are you getting ready to play a Syracuse home game 4 hours away?[/B]

[B]Giansante:[/B] First of all, this isn't a home game that was moved to New York. These games are not games that could happen without the MetLife deal. Notre Dame isn't going on the road for games often at all. We're very fortunate that it worked out. They're playing Purdue in Indianapolis, Navy in Dublin and Arizona State in Texas. With the College Football Playoff coming, and the importance of strength of schedule, we have a chance to play LSU home-and-home. With the ACC, we have Florida State and Clemson coming to the Dome. We have ACC television dollars. The move to the ACC changed things a lot. We didn't have any of that before.

Newflash to Mr. Giansante if we never agreed to this deal in the first place Notre Dame by contract would have been forced to eventually play a game @ syracuse. Also, the games ARE Syracuse home games in lieu of them being at the Dome  Syracuse sold the home games to Metlife. ESPN/ABC controls ACC home games and NBC controls ND home games and the game is on ABC.
