If ND were to get ACC membership for everything but what the ACC needs from ND, football membership, ND would be using the ACC.
 
If, on the other hand, the ACC can benefit by having partial members, and the partial members also benefit, then everybody is a winner.
 
BE football will be forever reduced to what many of us call mid-major when we talk about basketball. So the only way Navy can be part of Big Time football is if it gets into the ACC. And Navy is not stupid enough to think it could try ACC basketball. So Navy would benefit immensely if it could be the ACC's 16th football school. And the ACC would benefit immensely if taking Navy gets ND.
 
Similarly, a St Johns or Villanova would profit immeasurably as a member of ACC basketball. And either would add to ACC basketball. 
 
ND will not be admitted to the ACC unless it joins for football. But if ND wants Navy for football, we would be insane not to have Navy for football and some nom-revenues and St Johns or Villanova for basketball and some non-revenues.
