Just because you don't care about non revenue sports doesn't mean they aren't pertinent in this discussion.  It has an effect on your university where you send all your athletes every year in every sport.

ND are idiots to be in this conference FWIW for their other sports as they would be having the run Villanova has in the New Big East.  Them and Nova would be at the top with the 2nd teir of PC/X/Butler/Creighton.  ACC didn't get them better recruits but the talent level would be good enough for that conference.

I think the football arrangement works out well enough for them but they'd be in the CCG more often than not as a full member of the ACC.  I mean they signed that arrangement because they thought they'd win most of the games and its not the SEC.

Well we have played MSU more than any of the schools you mentioned so there goes that...

I'd join the B1G in hockey if we add it.  But in terms of our branding and identity in football and basketball it would be terrible we'd be another Pitt.  Our fanbase lives in the ACC footprint CNYers don't relocate to the rustbelt they go to the Carolinas.  No one that roots for Syracuse lives in Lincoln or Iowa City.  Its a better fit than the old Big East we aren't Catholic.  But as I just said think about what team the New Big East fits perfectly ND would do better in the modern Big East than us or Uconn would if either of us decided to go Indy in FB and rejoin those teams.

PS please never schedule Illinois again I loathed those series in the Cantor era.
