Lol, ND agreed to play Navy as long as the latter wants in gratitude for Navy's help in World War II.

In case you don't know, its Navy's choice to never play ND in Annapolis, not ND's.

Navy can sell more tickets in pro stadiums in big cities (and keep the money) than it can if it plays ND at home.

So, your high horseness about Navy is completely misplaced and you don't know as much about Navy and ND as you think that you do.

ND doesn't want to play Navy every year, (hates the option and cut blocks) but does so out of obligation and a handshake agreement made in the 1940's.

(I, for one, thinks that "debt" has been paid over and again)

Your post doesn't address ACC "arrogance" in wanting ND to do something that benefits the former more than the latter.

Maybe North Carolina (who has done more to put the ACC in this bad position than anyone with its basketball first leadership and decisions) should reduce its ACC payments in half to help the others out.

Or, North Carolina and Duke could drop out of the ACC for football and stay for basketball,  and reduce their payouts accordingly.

After all, that would be reparations for the damage that Tobacco Road has done the ACC (John Swofford, anyone?) and let the football schools get a bigger payout.

Wouldn't that help the ACC stay together?

After all, why isn't it time for North Carolina to change over time. ??

NC would not do what you are asking ND to do if their positions were reversed.
