Thanks for the explanation. If Notre Dame values being in


a conference that has private schools, then I find it a little odd Notre Dame decided not to remain in the Big East which is all private schools and I think majority of them are Catholic schools too. I would have thought that would be a win-win for Notre Dame since it could remain independent in football and still be affiliated with even more like minded schools in all other sports.

I guess what I find most interesting (and maybe even a little peculiar) about Notre Dame's decision to partially join the ACC instead of remaining in the Big East is what the school was willing to "sacrifice" in order to gain more exposure on the East Coast. I do think Notre Dame would still have exposure on the East Coast if it had decided to remain in the Big East; just not as much as it gains in the ACC.
