I guess the Cuse fans are still obsessed. I think you could write the same article about the Orange.

Really? Cuse played name the score against your team in 2018 enroute to ending the season ranked 15th. A world of difference between the two programs.

I think besides ND, the ACC would look at WVU, Cincy or UCF. I don't think Temple brings enough.

Don't see UCF ever getting a look as long as Florida State and Miami are in the conference. It's pretty much Big 12 or bust for them.

Even without football for two years (or intraconference only), ND should be fine as independent. Let's just say, exceptions will be made. This is more of a short squeeze on ND to get them to divest their brand and buy into a competitor brand at higher $'s. They've been sellers of the B1G and buyers of the PAC and ACC, but they really want a small piece of all three. Now they are getting squeezed by all three. We'll see if they cave in over the next 5-6 years.

It won't be the ACC because I can't see ND locking into football match ups with Cuse, BC and Pitt annually. And there isn't a cultural fit there with FSU, Clemson, Va Tech, and Miami. Makes no sense to be there long term.

The ACC will move on with UC as 15 unless the Big 12 scoops them first. I would offer WVU and UC if WVU can get $$$ for a buyout to get out of the Big 12. While it would be a major hit in the near term financially, it's the only viable solution long term. This also cuts the Big 12 out of the greater valley area entirely. In this scenario, names like UCF/USF gain more traction in the interim, while Memphis would be in play with a 10 team model. But honestly a Big 9 model with a CC game is just as viable.

How is it not a win win for anyone besides the AAC? The P5 basically stands clear cut from the G5. AAC never recovers and becomes another Conference USA. The play at that point becomes FAU and/or FIU, Marshall, and Old Dominion.

You realize ND hates Michigan? ND has alumni and fans through out the East. If they join a conference with all sports it will be the ACC.

All of Syracuse's rivals are in the Big East and they're not getting any traction trying to convince anyone outside of upstate that Duke notices them.

UConn leads the all time head-to-head football series against Syracuse. There isn’t that much difference between the programs.

Syracuse football fans trash-talking, LOL. And trash-talking a school they went 5-6 against in all-time, with all games in recent memory (the 2000s).

I suppose the (((cough cough cough Jim cough cough cough))) OP might start (((cough cough cough Boeheim cough cough cough))) trash talking (((cough cough cough knew cough cough cough))) my school (((cough cough cough and cough cough cough))) though too (((cough cough cough lied cough cough cough))) about something (((cough cough cough about cough cough cough))) that happened in the (((cough cough cough Bernie cough cough cough))) early 2010s.

Sorry. I had a coughing spree there. Damn, hopefully I don't have CoronaVirus. That was weird, I don't normally cough like that. Much less cough 42 different times in the course of one sentence. Weird.

ANYWAY, what were we talking about before I started coughing uncontrollably?

Oh yes, things that happened in the early 2010s! Let's see, what happened then? Oh yes, Syracuse played in a Pinstripe Bowl!!! Actually, two of them!!! Of course, the Pinstripe Bowl isn't exactly the Fiesta Bowl. Were there any Northeast based schools, that wear blue and white, and not named Penn State, that played in a Fiesta Bowl in the early 2010s?

What's going to draw more viewers and $ over the next 10 years? ND vs UM or ND vs Cuse/Pitt/BC? I'll gladly take that bet with you.

Notre Dane has a contract with the ACC, so you’ll be waiting at least until 2037 to have a look at your bet. I’d suggest doing a little research here.

ND-Michigan has been sacrificed by ND before, and it is no longer a must-have game for the Irish.

What did you just say?

Don't worry that slight lead you have won't last. Don't the two teams play a few times in the coming decade?

Dude you play home games in front of 3000 fans
Your coach gets a bonus if they sell 32 hot dogs by the first time out
ESPN+ televising means it is a big game that week

Sorry that's my bad. I went to both UConn and UMass so I have 2 screen names. Was logged in as the wrong one.

I know being both a UMass and UConn fan is very rare. I am also Huskies12

Well if UConn/UMass/Syracuse fans talking football isn't a three-way slap fight, I don't know what is.

Cool strawman...but what does that hypothetical have to do with anything?

Notre Dame isn't leaving for the B1G

UMass. I grew up as a Marcus Camby kid. UMass for undergrad. UConn for my Masters.

Save for the fact that one is in the P5, won a national championship, has a Heisman Trophy winner, has won numerous bowl games, the GOAT played Football there, had a Hollywood movie filmed there about the school, and has more NFL Hall of Famers than but a few colleges.

There is nothing really in common other than UConn played in the BE for about a decade with Cuse

So basically UMass over UConn? Most go with their undergrad. I remember Dr. J he was a great player
