And yes ... Cincinnati is peeing all over themselves. I think Xavier just got splashed.
Pervis, I believe I can safely speak for all Cincinnati Bearcats fans and say "YES". In fact "HELL YES". Don't care what the terms are, don't care what the buy in is, don't care what the vesting period is. Don't Care about nothin. Pee'd myself? Hell, I soiled myself!
I for one would love having UC in the ACC on one condition ... you gotta stop with the academic jokes. LOL. Yeah we know .... we're struggle bus. But our mission (urban focus) is something that is tough to overcome. We are obligated on some things that will always hold us back in school rankings. Research wise, we've really improved, and that arc is pretty exciting.
But ... I digress. I'd dig Cincy in the conference. I think you'd add a lot.

WOW!!!!!!!!! I am totally laughing at all the homers who said the ACC Network would never be realized, and said that Notre Dame would never join.... We not only split the ACCN $$ we also ND's NBC Money!!!! WOW just WOW!!
I think the money issue is almost a complete wash.
Really?? Do not believe what you hear. Would the Big12 want Texas to split longhorn tv $$...you betcha!
What do we know about ND TV Contract.. NBC and Notre Dame said the extension would begin in 2016 and run through the 2025 season. Terms were not disclosed, though the current five-year contract is reportedly worth an average of $15 million annually.( Ended in 2015)
Link https://www.nytimes.com/2013/04/19/sport...l.amp.html
I have heard rumors that ND gets 22 million per year from NBC... But I do not know for sure....either way do not believe the idiots who say ND only gets 15 Million they are the same idiots who said the ACC Network would never happen.
Side note rumor is with ND in for FB Comcast is back at the ACCN table.... craziness... Just imagine how the ACCN could increase TV $$ by adding ND NBC $$ and Comcast carriage fees....WOW!

Comcast might have a little more pressure...
I have Comcast here in Dallas and I have the ACC Network. I’m assuming that this isn’t consistent across the states?

I thought the ACC liked having Clemson and FSU in the conference?
"Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick said the program's partnership with the ACC for the 2020 football season was the result of "unusual circumstances unrelated to Notre Dame's long-term assessment of independence."
The ACC board of directors on Wednesday approved a plan in which all conference schools and Notre Dame will play 10 league games plus one non-conference game of their choosing -- only if public health guidance allows -- and the Fighting Irish will be eligible for the ACC championship game. There won't be any divisions in the ACC for this season only.
Although the Irish have clung famously to their independence, Swarbrick said this decision wasn't difficult because it made the most sense. As part of its contractual agreement with the ACC, Notre Dame had already had six games scheduled with the conference, including Clemson. The Irish added Florida State, Boston College, Pittsburgh and North Carolina.
"This is just an unprecedented and extraordinary year, and you recognize that going in," Swarbrick told ESPN on Thursday morning. "Could we have constructed a schedule without this? Yes, but given the uncertainties that everybody faces, you couldn't exactly be sure what you have. There was a greater level of control and certainty if we could do this with the ACC than if we had just constructed the schedule ourselves."

Remember when ND basketball would never be in a conference, and when there would never be lights or a video board at Notre Dame Stadium, or it would have been unheard of to give up control of 5/12ths of your annual schedule? Regardless of unprecedented circumstances, for the first time in history, ND has now placed its football program fully in a conference along with the rest of its sports.
The Spanish Flu pandemic lasted two full years. Better hope this virus is solved quickly before the AD gets used to the extra money and boosters get used to eyeing meaningful standings and realize that conference membership does not actually impact on-field quality or external perception. The longer this goes on, the more difficult it will be to reel back in. I suspect you understand that.

That is why I am not making any definitive statements about this being a one off deal. It is historic (if the season is played) that ND will forgo independence. But it is dangerous to give people a taste of something they have never experienced. What if they like it? What if we lose early and National title hopes are gone but the games still have some meaning because we want another shot at Clemson.
I want independence, but I see that some sacred cows have already been done away with so I do not know what to expect ( the ACC dictates almost half our schedule). I am a member of three other ND boards and the 40 and under crowd are not nearly as married to independence as the the older generation.
I am interested to watch the reaction of the ND fanbase throughout the year.

What Ohio team in 2009 was one second put back on the clock in the B12 CG so that Texas could win from being in the BCS championship game?

Your choices are : Cincy, Temple, UConn, Memphis, UCF, USF, Houston, SMU and Navy FB-only.
Who do you take? Do you stay at 15 members and hope for some championship game deregulation? I add Cincy. Historically strong football and basketball. All they need is a little more money and P5 gravitas so that they can keep their good coaches.

Cincy is the best choice. It would act as a bridge and open up Ohio recruiting a little more.
