Message: [QUOTE="BlazeOrange, post: 570087, member: 683"] Early bowl tie-ins are a new addition to the argument in this thread and definitely worth getting some form of compensation from the Irish. But we don't know if that part of the agreement will be included in the early entry for other sports. Unless ND's early addition can change bowl tie-ins that are not already in place, they shouldn't be included unless they contribute somehow. Options could include adding some ACC opponents before 2015 (if there are schedule openings), Alsacs plan of some additional ACC games after 2015, a modified bowl agreement for the next couple of seasons, or creation of a new bowl tie-in/increased payout to the conference for existing bowls.
