Little conflicted as a Carolina & SU grad.  Always enjoy Townie.  Obviously intelligent and obviously deliberately over the top.  Was a little puzzled by Woadblue before SU was chosen for ACC.  Seemed a little anti-SU to my hearing.  Post-acceptance, I've found his analysis a bit more persuasive even if I didn't always agree.
 
As to his ND argument, I think it's one of his most persuasive and I don't just think it's wishful thinking.  As for the Catholic Church exploding in the South, it's true.  When I went to school at Carolina, it was considered "mission" country by the Church.  I could tell who my friends were on Ash Wednesday because they were the ones who asked:  "What the hell do you do to your forehead?"  When I go back now, it's night and day. 
 
Townie, I know from other threads that you're a member of the tribe and well-traveled.  The demographics are changing and I think ND is smart enough to see that.  Woadblue has it wrong that the Church is dying in the Midwest.  But he is spot on to see it explosion in the South.  The failure to see where your audience will be in future can be fatal.  I think ND sees that and while no conference would be perfect for them, the ACC would be the "least worst" from their perspective if forced into a conference.
