Why the fixation on Notre Dame?


Notre Dame is very happy where they are in regards to their football program. I see no desire on their part to join any conference. Many put a lot of faith in the documents signed between Notre Dame and the ACC, but at the end of the day that is not apart of the heavily restrictive GOR that the ACC holds with ESPN.

As soon as everyone in the ACC realizes they can move forward. I like Navy in the ACC, but I only like Navy if they are partnered with Army. That Army-Navy game is a major television viewership and a storied history. Both are qualities the ACC lacks among many members.

Both Army and Navy have excellent academic standards and that is a huge qualifier for the ACC...

Both Army and Navy are well-inside the ACC footprint...

Both Army and Navy have no bad blood with anyone in the ACC and as a result they will be a cozy addition.

As far as football is concerned, they are unlikely to ever challenge that top of the ACC but they are also just as unlikely to every hit bottom...

Both of them are in the picture long term if they are part of a conference like ACC.

They are the sort of programs that have only positives.

Some think only programs that move the needled need to be considered. Unless you are raiding another P5 conference, there are needles walk by any longer. The ACC needs to follow what the Big-12 pick the best of the G5 and groom them. The perk of Army and Navy is that they need no grooming.

Personally I see no downside to their addition and for me it is a natural for them to be in theACC.
