What's this?

The ACC is obviously a potential adversary to ND's football independence

There is no way around that. There can be no other position to reasonably take.

You want to force ND to unwillingly do something that it adamantly does not want to do.

How is that "honorable" or a sign of "good partners" and "mutual respect"??

You don't care that ND thinks that is the worst thing for the program. You are only looking out for VT and the ACC there.

I don't fault you for this, just want to point out that the ACC is on no moral high ground here.

Self interest, again.

ND told everyone that football was never joining the ACC long term.

That is a fact. A Google search will find lots of articles with those quotes and acknowledgment of same by the ACC, from 2003 (or before) to the present day.

That is the opposite of "duping" someone. That is using a bullhorn to loudly proclaim this.

I hope you are right, but ND & SEC duped everyone in June, until OU & UT -- Stech 11/12/2021 06:16AM

Yep ND's looking our for ND, right they're not a true partner to the ACC. -- Stech 11/12/2021 08:20AM

It will always be the case, ND officials are supposed to favor ND -- TerryD 11/12/2021 08:31AM

The proposal you partnered with the SEC is full proof. You just don't want -- Stech 11/12/2021 08:39AM

Its no "proof" at all -- TerryD 11/12/2021 08:47AM

The reason you go to a court of law is that partners can't work it out, now -- Stech 11/12/2021 08:57AM

I meant that proof and evidence are needed everywhere, except. -- TerryD 11/12/2021 09:15AM

If ND takes the adversarial view you have I don't want you, Swofford -- Stech 11/12/2021 09:20AM
