Any thoughts on what it means for ND to have 2 of FSU, Miami and Clemson each year?
I'd prefer if ND faced BC, Miami and Stanford each year. From a fundraising and recruiting and scheduling perspective, hitting all corners of the country at a time that is good for student-athletes would be great. Start the year early in Miami, finish Thanksgiving on the West Coast, and it makes the academic year more manageable for the student-athletes.

Problem is they and their conference don’t want us unless we join them.

With the exception of Clemson the others haven't been as consistent. Also FSU championship of 1993
was a joke.
I think if ND doesn't like that, they can leave the ACC.

I don’t see a downside. Helps us, keeps the ACC viable til conferences die, recruiting

If ACC falls, B1G and SEC will run it all. May as well look at it as a way to get our tougher games
and sched the other games accordingly.
I don’t quite get why ESPN wants this knowing 1 of those 2 games has to be
A home game for us on NBC.
Is it meant to keep those 3 schools in the fold and we are the pawns to do it. It better we worth it for us somehow
Because they’re guaranteed one of those games each year.
Jesus
I realize but still…it’s 1 game. Despite all the talking heads complaining about us
I guess we still matter. Who would have thought…
BC and Stanford blow and we will still play them as part of the rotating ACC schedule.
And this isn't 1990 anymore; we don't need to barnstorm for recruiting or fundraising (hilarious) purposes.
It's fine as it limits games against ACC teams that are shit and it still allows us for 1-2 other games against "top" teams.
Since ESPN is upping the ante, we should get some more of that pie. That is not the
deal we signed up for. Not saying I don't like it.
We signed up to play 6 ACC games a year.
That’s all. That isn’t changing.
