If Notre dame becomes 15th Football School - Wilkie01 - 04-19-2018 08:15 AM

Just think what we could get on our ESPN contract, if Notre Dame became our 15th football school. And then the next question is who becomes 16th football school?

Possible 16th school are in alpha order (of course Notre Dame will pick):

Central Florida
Cincinnati
Connecticut (makes most sense)
Temple
West Virginia

Atlantic
Boston College
Connecticut
Syracuse
Pittsburgh
Notre Dame
Louisville
Virginia
Virginia Tech

Coastal
North Carolina
North Carolina State
Duke
Wake Forest
Clemson
Georgia Tech
Florida State
Miami

Never going to happen....despite most on this board and on Tobacco Road insisting it would.

I would say the pool would be :

Texas, wvu, cincy, uconn, tcu, temple

Add WVU it was always meant to be, then divide into two familiar divisions:

ACC........Big East
FSU........Miami
GT..........ND
Clemson..Louisville
Wake......BC
NCST.......WVU
UNC........Pitt
UVA.........VT

Or, you could add Cincinnati instead of Notre Dame. That way you get two members who actually want to be part of this football conference. 07-coffee3

I guess navy should be in the pool but just don’t see them wanting that schedule even if offered. I should also add nobody to the pool. In that case a rule change where you could have 3 pods of 5, play a 4-2-2 schedule.

If Kansas and Oklahoma go to the B1G all bets are off. ND likely would be scrambling to get Texas to come east. I can see 2 to 4 additions. Likely WVU TCU Texas and ND. All 4 would add solid Football as well as good Basketball that would make the ACC at or near the very top conference.

I don't think Notre Dame cares even a little about what Texas does. Or anyone else, for that matter. Nor should they.

If Cincy was valuable they would have already been added. I am sure UMASS wants to join the ACC; so hey they should be added too!

ITT: Everybody trying to get excited about what University that doesn't really fit is the least abrasive when being forced in.

Perhaps my dreams are too big and bold to fit into Swofford's lil ole head. Penn State or Tennessee. Accept no substitutes.

I think Duke and Syracuse might have some issues with your alignment.

If it has to be WVU, it should have academic and fan behavior contingencies built in. The days of Mr. Mtn. Man throwing Duracell D batteries from the stands would have to be over forever in Morgantown.

I think PSU and Tennessee would be great coupes, but they would be hard to get. 07-coffee3

Nothing in life worth doing is ever handed to you. How about Swofford earns that salary for a change?

What I've said before. Get Pods approved (need NCAA committee approval). Three groupings of 5 teams. Play the 4 others every year and rotate through 5 games with the other two pods 2 outta 4 years. The two highest rated teams play in the championship in Charlotte.

Have to go to a 9 game schedule to make it work though. FSU, Clemson, Louisville and GTech might not be too happy but they just play 2 schlubs every year if they want to weaken their overall OOC somewhat.

I lol'd thanks for the catch but yeah I had them as being cross rivals anyway. Sorry Cuse and DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOK fans

It's not going to happen.

ND doesn't get to pick. They get 1 vote like everyone else. If ND can justify one school being more advantageous to them, that would be a valid consideration.

GTS is right, again. Think BIG!

I'm against any alignment based on oBE/oACC lines.

I'm against any alignment that puts a school on an island, like Miami in an oBE division.
