Here’s how Notre Dame can exit their affiliate membership and completely destroy the ACC as we know it:
1. Notre Dame’s cleanest exit from the ACC deal: Sue for breach of anti disparagement clause over the 2025 CFP sabotage. Win = walk away penalty-free
2. Partial-member buyout: ND’s buyout is ~$50-100M today (way less than a full member’s $165+), but a successful breach lawsuit makes it $0 + possible $20-50M in damages from the ACC.
3. Hypothetical future: ND flips to a Big Ten partial deal in 2027
- 5 rotating B1G games/yr + fixed rivalry
- Keep full NBC money + $15M affiliate check
- Auto bowl ties & stronger CFP path. Big Ten gets massive ratings.
In the end, ACC loses its golden goose and FSU & Clemson leave shortly after. The ACC collapses.

95% of people in this country are normal. The extreme right sucks and extreme left suck. Both sides filled with lunatics, crazies and morons. And almost all politicians are hypocrites who manipulate these idiots for personal gain. And no I won’t run for President.I’d rather die
Biden wins Michigan which then votes to secede. Wisc uses pent up agresson from no Thursday night football to invade the upper peninsula &claim it but Canada launches tactital nuclear strike against Milwaukee killing Giannis. Bucks draft Barron Trump, win 6 consectuve NBA titles
#Texans Executive VP of Football Operations Jack Easterby, on a very long-term contract, is close with #Patriots OC Josh McDaniels, as well as de facto GM Nick Caserio. Both clearly names to watch in Houston.
