[QUOTE="orientalnc, post: 949217, member: 1199"] There's a lot of talk on the Swarm about the ESPN contract. I cannot find the actual contract online, but a summary is linked below. Missing from the summary is any description of the ACC in that contract. Legally, according to my UNC neighbor (an attorney in New Bern), the ACC exists as a separate entity from any member school. So, the "Atlantic Coast Conference" is not a unique collection of member schools. It exists with whichever schools are members. So, if ND joins the conference, the ESPN contract remains intact. If FSU and Clemson leave, the contract remains. To me, this means ND football is not joining the ACC prior to 2036 and likely never. They get $10 million a year from the ACC for their partial membership and $26 million from NBC through the 2024 season. They are currently negotiating with NBC and Fox and, perhaps, others for the years beyond 2024. I read they are seeking $75 million per year. Apparently, NBC is talking about, but has but offered, $60 million per year. The SEC and B1G teams are getting (or will get) about $90 million. ND wants to be in that range. So, whatever they can negotiate gets bumped by $10 million in ACC money. So, their ask at $75 million fits that model. So, forget ND. And forget, the ACC contract with ESPN imploding if 2 or 3 teams leave.
