It was a great deal for the ACC - not sure why you disagree


The ACC was not weakened in any way whatsoever by having a partial football member. It is a huge plus having five guaranteed OOC games versus a premium football draw. The Irish could suck for five years and they would still be a huge draw. And so long as you keep recruiting you won't suck even with below average coaching.

Swallowing its pride is one of the few decisions by the ACC head office that has been an unqualified success. There is absolutely no downside. Vague statements about the league being weakened by a partial member have no basis in fact.

If Notre Dame collapses as an athletic power (how likely is that?), the ACC will still have dibs on a premier international university in the middle of the B1G heartland.
