I think that swaim was being fed bogus info to destabilize the acc. He could have been fed that info from both ND and the Big 12- both of whom stand to gain by such misinformation. It gives ND the leverage it needs against the ACC, and the Big 12 needs to eat the acc now because it's long term stability is still up in the air.

There is a huge loophole in the grant of rights that favors UT.  They can still leave at any time, because if they left- OU would be right behind and the conference would crumble.

Would not surprise me if the ACC is working very hard to get ND in the fold.

Despite Swarbicks statement that ND still has a path to the NC...there will be preference / weight given to conference champs.

I bet one could foresee a scenario where a 11-1 ND team would not get selected into the four team playoff as an Indy...because the big, sec,  PAC, big 12, and ACC would be able to collectively produce four conference champs with 0 or 1 loss.

Even in this proposed committee selection process, ND is best served in a conference.
