This is, indeed, a very strange argument. Who should be the 16th ACC member along with Notre Dame?
 
Wow! Is this ever "a bridge too far". Are you guys familiar at all of how odds increase as you stack conditional probabilities?
 
1. It assumes that ND wants to no longer be an independent or is forced to become an independent. That''s a stretch.
 
2. It assumes that IF ND wants to join a conference, it would join the ACC and not the B1G. That's another huge stretch since all the real evidence before us is that they would prefer the B1G, including the fact that they actually went through the application process with the B1G a number of years ago, only to decline at the last step in the process.
 
3. It assumes that if ND wants to join a conference and that conference is the ACC, the ACC will also add another member. And assumption #4 - that that 16th member will be a northeastern school.
 
I can't ge past #1 and #2. It's highly unlikely that ND is going to join a conference in the next several years. And if they do, it'll probably be the B1G. The school is IN Indiana and ND has a number of traditional rivals in that Conference.
 
The discussion reminds me of "Who would win in a fight? Superman or Batman?"
