Message: [QUOTE="ForCuseSake, post: 4294023, member: 266"] This broke perfectly for ND to coincide with the expiration of their NBC deal. They'll settle with the ACC for $100-$200M (for a 2024 or 2025 departure), continue as an Independent in FB while negotiating with both mega-conferences AND broadcasting partners (NBC, ESPN, FOX, etc). They'll play all sides against each other and could even likely be allowed to stay independent by taking a haircut on TV revenue (sharing TV dollars with the conference that'll take their Olympic sports and their promise to marry them if ever forced to join). Basically broker another ACC type deal with the B1G or SEC. It'll give the Golden Domers the illusion of being independent without actually being independent. I expect they'll eventually stash their Olympic sports in the B1G. Truly, the luck of the Irish. [/QUOTE]
