Notre Dame Set To Jump To ACC Next Year

  • Notre Dame’s basketball teams will play in the ACC next year, according to a source with direct knowledge of the situation. The Big East presidents will vote on the issue Tuesday morning, and an announcement is expected sometime after their conference call ends.

    “It’s every everyone’s intention that this will happen tomorrow,” said the source.

    It's a medium deal. They are sometimes very good, and their women's team is lights out the past handful of years. As in the top 5.

  • This would be near about as perfect an example of fool's gold as there is. We either get out of the acc or we become a permanent upper level tier 2 program.

    As far as I am concerned it is no big deal. With out football ND is not worth it. I'm one of those who believe that ND will never join in football. This past year totally reconfirmed their belief they can do well as an independent which is their preference by far imho.

  • ACC release:

    Comment from ACC Commissioner John Swofford:

    “Our conference, schools and fans are delighted that Notre Dame will join the ACC on July 1, 2013. The addition of Notre Dame, Pitt and Syracuse, followed by Louisville in 2014, positions us extremely well with an outstanding collection of 15 member institutions.”

    “As was previously announced, our annual five games against Notre Dame in football will begin with the 2014 season. This not only will enhance our league’s already ambitious football schedules but also will provide terrific fan excitement.”

    “From a basketball perspective, the level of competition will be second to none. As we look towards the future, there’s no denying that ACC Basketball will continue to set even higher standards of excitement and excellence. The competition will be brutal, which is a great thing for our league and fans.”

    Comment from Jack Swarbrick, Notre Dame Vice President and Director of Athletics:

    “Notre Dame now looks forward with great anticipation to becoming a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference. We are thrilled to join a great group of institutions who share our commitment to the integration of athletics into the academic mission of the university. Our coaches and student-athletes across our athletic programs are truly excited about the new challenges ahead.”

    Orly? So how long did ND stretch the BE out w/ the football carrot always a step out of reach? And the ACC is any different than the BE b/c why?

    Now it's becoming obvious, even to us mouthbreathers, that major big boy college football is rapidly heading towards the super conference playoff dealio and away from the free-ride BCS conference tie in easy route to the NC formula (that we still can't overcome BTW b/c we are in a crap FB conference and thusly play a crap brand of ball). Recruiting that elite top-shelf talent is becoming ever more difficult due largely to our conference affiliation. It used to be that we fought UF and UGa for our main helpings but now Bama is a juggernaut and you have programs like Ol' Miss that are having more of a say in this blue chip recruit conversation than they used to. Other programs as well. Yet we piddle away in a conference that never has our interests even remotely up top along w/ the lame matchups and a focus headed ever farther north and east (for BB considerations of course).

    CFB is a business not a college course. It is reality not theory. And the reality is that FSU cannot afford to remain mired in a sub-standard conference that is poorly run and has it's priorities focused on things that are not at all helpful to FSU. So all this, in a nutshell, means that FSU sells itself and will always lure in talent but if you want to be thought of as a major player in D-1 football you have to be in like minded company, which IMO would be BigXII country (SEC by far but that will likely never happen). Bank it: we stay in the ACC and FSU will wither away into a second rate program that is at best a training ground for coaches headed to the big time. At best.
