Message: [QUOTE="kingottoiii, post: 284937"] 9 games is the plan but if ND wants 8 the ACC would be nuts to not go back to 8. There really is no reason to have 9 if you go to 16 teams with a pod system. As to the other post about ND for all but FB, don't you think that when/if ND ever joins a conference it would be a lot easier if the ACC already has a relationship with ND? If the ACC really is willing to do Navy/Nova as #16, then why in the hell would they not be willing to do a ND as #15 for all but FB if it IMPROVES the chances of ND one day coming for FB? When that time comes do you really think ND would pull all sports from the ACC (paying a $20 million exit fee) so they can go play FB in the B1G? I think the ACC would be a lot easier sell to alumni, boosters, and fans if ND is a partial member first. Also having ND become a partial member will keep the ACC football schools happy. They would be crazy to leave for $10 million more per year knowing that one day ND could join in FB. [/QUOTE]
