Title: "ESPN: Notre Dame to ACC" Post by: Chechem on September 12, 2012, 08:46:44 AM http://espn.go.com/college-sports/story/_/id/8369070/sources-notre-dame-football-acc
Quote Notre Dame will join the Atlantic Coast Conference as a full member with the exception of football, but will play five football games annually against ACC teams ...

Title: Re: "ESPN: Notre Dame to ACC" Post by: Marshal Dillon on September 12, 2012, 10:44:32 AM Notre Dame is taking the cowards way. Their football program can compete against the weak ACC football teams so ND can drop teams like Michigan State from the schedule. Plus, they can rake in the money from the ACC BB TV contracts. :popcorn2: Title: Re: "ESPN: Notre Dame to ACC" Post by: Chechem on September 12, 2012, 10:54:58 AM Notre Dame has great football tradition.
But so does Sewanee. Come to think of it, also Navy, Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Army, Georgia Tech, Illinois... Title: Re: "ESPN: Notre Dame to ACC" Post by: BAMAWV on September 12, 2012, 11:00:31 AM ND boards use the excuse of their academic standards limiting their recruiting. That never slowed them down in the past. It was once considered America's team. Players from all over the country bought in and it led to the NBC contract. But due to poor AD decisions-- mostly poor choices in coaching--the ND mystique has gone away and the program has lapsed into mediocrity. Maybe someday they'll have to recruit a kid that actually lives in Indiana.

Notre Dame has trouble recruiting because it's located in a all white, cold, damp place with no attraction for a black athlete. How many 5 & 4 star athletes are going to leave Florida, Georgia, Texas, California, & any other southern state for such a place. :dog: Title: Re: "ESPN: Notre Dame to ACC" Post by: Hannibal Lecter, MD on September 12, 2012, 11:38:08 AM ND boards use the excuse of their academic standards limiting their recruiting.

They are about 75 miles apart, pretty good drive to go have a beer, listen to music, and participate in activities with other blacks. Don't have to drive as far in Tuscaloosa, Miami, Gainesville, Atlanta, Austin, Los Angeles, Dallas, or other places. Plus, you missed the part about that wonderful weather in Indiana. ;) Title: Re: "ESPN: Notre Dame to ACC" Post by: Catch Prothro on September 12, 2012, 01:31:04 PM But.. but... but...
