Whether that is ND joining in full, ESPN ponying up more money, UConn being added on the urging of ESPN, a Big 12/ACC scheduling alliance or all of the above, I don't know.

I just have stepped back to look at the big picture and the tea leaves and I am leaning in that direction.

Obviously, 99% of ACC fans hope it's the "ND joining in full" option... in that case, then #16 will be whoever ND chooses to accompany them into the conference in football. It might be Navy, it might be UConn, it might be Texas, it might be Penn State. Heck, I wouldn't care if it was Hawaii (though I suspect it wouldn't be).

People keep mentioning ND wanting UCONN. I can't figure out why. What on Earth does UCONN have that ND could possibly want?

I would have Cincinnati over Connecticut.

+1

And you guys would be fools.

You're pushing for a UCONN invite now? Please do enlighten us. What does UCONN bring to the ACC?

He has no clue what he wants he is simply a troll...

I think most of us would be cool with any of the above Terry if stabilization is the end result. Even though we know you'd be hoping for one of the latter three options!

I'm pretty sure Terry is pulling pretty hard for ND joining as a full member. My source inside the ND admin has uncovered a secret letter vault that has been filled to the brim with letters from Terry to Jack begging Jack to play a full ACC schedule. I havent' personally seen the vault, but my source has yet to be wrong.

Dude!!! Have you lost your Noodle? Quit going Atomic on me.......

Relax, I'm just having some fun. Put a smile on your face and make the world a better place. Everyone knows that you are 100% against ND joining a conference in football.

Lol, I am relaxed. My last post was a (poor) attempt to make reference to your prediction and The Dude. a/k/a Atomic Noodle.

In that case, you were a little bit over my head. Well played.

Seriously though, ND as a full member in 2015?
