Well, it's an agenda that probably helps us, so I'm cool with it.
ESPN pushing an agenda
Brett McMurphy @McMurphyESPN 18m18 minutes ago
ACC coaches want Notre Dame to join a league. If ND joins a league before 2027, its contractually bound to join ACC
Notre Dame doesn't care, nor should they.
They have all the leverage here - not some, not most....all of it.
The only way they're pushed into a conference is if the networks broadcasting the playoffs somehow lose their mind and agree to a scenario where Notre Dame is excluded.
Where's Conspiracy Kitty when you need him?!Isn't the network broadcasting the playoffs ESPN, who has a vested interest in ND joining the ACC?
I have to say I love the ND can turn a deaf ear to this stuff. It is maddening when it impacts you but entertaining otherwise.We should pay attention because they are our "partners". But it will take more then coaches to perk ears up, AD's or Presidents then that would be a cold splash of water.
I have to admit this was quicker then what I imagined for the complaining to begin, new it would come just not so soon.

Should be obvious... ACC coaches want to improve their SOS by getting more ND games for the league. Not because they're primarily concerned with the league's SOS / RPI, but with their own team's SOS / RPI.
Army had to quit CUSA because they couldn't compete. Can we please stop?
She gets the munchies after the catnip. It's an issue.It looks like Conspiracy Kitty should skip the buttered popcorn and eat some carrots.

Was speaking strictly from a Fiscal/TV stand point if Independents are forced to join a conference. Having Army/Navy alone as an AAC game boosts the league's TV contract.
Nobody watches Army games. Their TV contract is held by a network that isn't even rated. People watch Army and Navy once a year.
Army in the AAC is pure unadulterated insanity.
